Why do forum people hide who they are in game?

[Rager and Quitter]

Is it like a minigame to figure out who is who in game? Or are you scared people will know who you are and harass you in Norrath? I guess it also has something to do with people having multiple forum accounts they use, which is sad. Why would you need more than one forum account?

Everquest and Forumquest are two very different games, further explanation below:

I like the way you explain things.

[Encroaching Death]

My forum name is the same exact name in-game.

I've had random send me tells in game telling me crazy (understandable).

I'm 180 degrees a different person in game than on the forum. I'm polite, generous, and respectful in game.

I agree having multiple forum accounts is weird

Some people might worry any political or other controversial opinions expressed might cause issues within their guild. Even for Leftists who have political opinions that are generally pushed by mainstream media, Hollywood, etc as socially acceptable, they may still be worried about alienating any potential conservative guild members. If the poster is a conservative, then concern for pissing guildmates off in game for WrongThink is much more valid IMO

I also don’t post my char name to not be harassed but anyone interested can PM me and I happy to share

[Encroaching Death]

If my guild kicks me for my political opinions - I wouldn't want to be in that guild anyway, so good.

Right now I'm playing Rawryllaneth the Drowned Princess Sword of Prexus fear my scantily leather clad bikini, for this one time it is thematically accurate armor for a merfolk.

You can come visit me in qeynos. I am not very strung, my trusty rusted weapons carry tetnis and I am friend to all. I shall not slay you because I probably cannot slay you. Let's be friends.

Erudites should be allowed to be Warriors

I never do that stuff.

This, as they say, is it.

In game and forumquest might be different, but I got range. And persistence. Entering my second decade posting to an elf simulator message board, about a game than is itself more than 2 decades old.
There is no glory in this by the way. Just the sort of thing you look at and go, huh, and then move on.


I have a Sadre chanter main on, like 5, 6, 7 servers? EQ 1, EQ 2, TLP's. Here. And this forum.



You know what they say, "If you are a twisted halfwit you'll never work a day in your life!" It's true, friends.

the true end game is to stop giving a fuck what people think

[magnetaress]

having been hard banned so many times because i push the boundaries personally lots with my speech i feel like its totally acceptable to do that on a throw away account its unfair to ask ppl to risk their main account when the game goes on 10+ years

i've lost like 8 accounts to this madness

on the plus side its taught me to be a better person and to not be as low -brow

[Encroaching Death]

You'll filter retards out and be left with people who don't judge you for being you. Or you'll alienate everyone around you if you just so happen to be hanging around retards.

In any case, fewer retards to deal with.

[magnetaress]

ya i agree and i'm perfectly happy being liked by who like and being villain to those that need one because they can't open up their inner eye

[Danth]

Some people might worry any political or other controversial opinions expressed might cause issues within their guild.

They might worry, but it's a pointless concern. Relatively few people read the forums, and fewer still care what's posted. I've never been guild kicked for anything I've ever posted; seldom has anyone even noticed. In spite of me being up-front with respect to my in-game characters, hardly anyone remembers because nobody particularly cares about other people's alts and whatnot.

In so many words, you'd need to act like an incredible twit for your forum activites to affect you in-game. If it was up to me I'd tie forum accounts to in-game accounts, but it's not up to me.

Lol, I think I've seen a Jamjim running red, but it could be a poser! They're trying to steal your identity, man!

It would be pretty cool to have imposters. Thats how you know you’ve really made it.

My toon is my avatar and I also did years of tunnel questing on him/my main. I am King Transparency. Look. Right. Through. Me. Only then, will you see how empty I truly am inside.

Remind me again how you fail in Everquest?

PS- I think you're Tassador. Prove me wrong.

[unsunghero]

Call me what you will for not wanting to post char names (I will share in PM though and I did post char name back in the day as a challenge to someone)…

…but I am one of the few here crazy or dumb enough to post RL pics. So there’s that

You show us everyday

[Sweagen]

I think it’s cuz there’s an automatic disconnect between the forums and th game, since in the game we’re encouraged to use fantasy names and roleplay, whilst on the forums we r just chilling. If nobody asks, your in-game characters forever remain a mystery.

Really none of your business so take your curiosity and wonder if your wife or GF is fucking the neighbor.

If my guild kicks me for my political opinions - I wouldn't want to be in that guild anyway, so good.

Not to single you out, but this sentiment sounds like that of a Democrat because they generally don't have to worry about this problem. You'll very seldom see a Conservative voter demand that someone be canceled or silenced because of their political beliefs. I've witnessed some pretty crazy stuff on P99 when it comes to politics too, even recently.

Pro-tip to anyone who is Conservative but likes to play MMOs, avoid servers/guilds that are predominantly on the west coast, or guild leaders who are from California. You'll have a much better time.

[WokeCat]

Also I've had the forums being associated with my in-game persona negatively impact me in many ways, but it doesn't really bother me since I am a bit of a troll and think it's funny. I very seldom get in fights in game. Most of my time is spent power leveling strangers. I give most of the items I loot away, and usually won't even loot an item unless I confirm no one else in the group wants it.

Forums for me are just a fun thing to do, especially when I don't have the energy to play EverQuest (which right now, I'm just sitting in my chair debating on whether or not I want to log in because once I do, I always feel obligated to stay online for like 5-6 hours since I'm usually the only healer).

[WokeCat]

Also IDEK if I'm a Conservative. If you asked me to name a Republican politician who I actually like or admire, I couldn't do it. I think I'm really just anti-liberal.

I've lost track, I'm such a worn out hole at this point... They now gather inside of me, rather than the EC tunnel, for there is more space.
