Could playing EverQuest make you a worse person?

[Sweagen]

Like in the few months I’ve been playing this game, I’ve run into more people shit-talking each other behind their backs, hating on and excluding people because they’re not ‘strong enough’ or not a part of their clique, and just general constant anger and small-mindedness over who should be entitled to loot. For a game that is otherwise so chill, socially it can be exhausting at times and I think it’s partly to due with camps and other things being in short supply, but a lot of people are just kinda toxic too? Like is it possible the constant competition and people being exposed to each other in frustrating circumstances has lead to EverQuest itself creating toxic players? Not to discount the many cool and helpful players I’ve encountered, but after seeing that there’s a ton of drama even in the course of a regular small, pick up group in mistmoore, it really does make me wonder…

Discuss do you think playing EverQuest could have made people more toxic? Or is it just sometimes an environment that brings out the worst in people? Or am I imagining all of this? Idk, what are your thoughts, RnF?

[Lune]

Sounds like Green?

Originally, outside of raiding, P99 had a pretty fantastic community. Green brought a lot of really shitty people from TLP's and just generally wasn't a fun server to play on. People either completely quiet and asocial, or very agro.

Gamers in general have also been getting more toxic. I don't really know why.

Oh yes, this was on Green. Tbh I have played on Blue and yeah I can’t think of too many bad experiences outside of one with a guild leader, but yah was playing on green this morning and made me think lol

It's not just you, rotten players have been around forever, but it definitely feels worse now. I think it's more of a societal problem leaking into this space. Also I think with Discord, which is known for being a haven for right wing nutsos, being such a big part of the game it's sort of amplifying the negativity.

I disagree with Lune's assessment of Green, I had a great time overall start to finish, there were definitely some terrible people along the way but there were also way more good or decent people. A lot of it is what guild you're in and what camps you're after as well. Finding the right community here is important.

Lol most of the time I find myself having to play peacekeeper because people can’t seem to chill for 5 minutes and just play the dam game, ngl

I'd say that about myself too, but I haven't seen my friends or family in months.

[wuanahto]

we were all bad people before everquest
but with everquests limited resources for loot, exp and queststuff it turns us into post-apoc savages. from crushbone to tov we must fight to survive. only betas think this is a bad trait tho

[Rager and Quitter]

First of all, fuck you, Wokecat, ya dumbass retard.

Secondly, you must have not played any other games because there is a metric fuckton of assholes out there, and by volume even P99 has a really solid community. The raiding scene is full of whiny, pixel-starved, autistic shutins, but what adult has time to raid in Everquest, shit takes like 8 hours of sitting around licking walls.

In my limited play time I meet lots of nice, helpful people, and I myself tend to be extremely helpful and courteous in game.

Also, fuck you, dickface.

There’s a difference between people being toxic and people reacting to your shitty behavior

but morality check, how much plastic until they stop being human? even you cant deny that most of the women you post have plastic surgery

if you bought a sex doll on ebay, then some other guy already jizzed in it.

you're asking me to explain the difference between a sentient living being, and a corpse fucker training device?

ok fine whatever, if it will help.

Its kind of funny to me that a dude having sex with a plastic body that looks like a woman is more heterosexual than if it looked like a man.

its not gay/straight/bi/trans/pan/demi wtfever if you're fucking a pile of silicone.

doesn't matter what the thing looks like, this is an affront beyond human sexuality.

im sure these societal rejects will come up with their own name, since necrophile is already taken.

like nowadays all the pedos wanna be called, "minor attracted person"

As an outside observer to US politics/activism, there's "nutsos" on both sides, and you just point fingers at each other while being equally crazy :o

Pretty much. Trexller has nothing to worry about. His repugnance def has him locked in as the last boss of the involuntarily celibate forum questers.

At least I had a dad, you just emit fatherless behavior with every post.

Do you know if your mother ever said "One drink wont hurt the baby"? Because that would explain a lot. btw you never did get around to explaining how posting porn is "fighting the good fight"

[Trexller]

it's not "fighting the good fight" that's why big J got banned for posting porn.

im still here, so where is the porn i've posted? go ahead and search my entire post history for a pornographic image.

some dipshit even started a thread calling for my ban. You're all going to need much bigger guns to get rid of me.

When you put it that way, you dancing around the edge of the rules is kinda sad. You know whats bad thanks to big j and you kinda sorta go to the edge
not really accomplishing anything

[Trexller]

nothing that you would understand.

the biggest problem you face is swabbing your saddess out of a silicone pocket, after you're finished with it.

lol its hilarious to me that your girlfriend can go in the dishwasher with your air fryer tray.

Also, a grown man who posts images of hot ladies in bikinis on an elf forum? I had pictures like that on my walls in my first apartment when I was nineteen, aren't you like thirty plus at least?

why? why?

Why, Indeed.

Gets halfway through, toxicity everywhere.

As an outside observer to US politics/activism, there's "nutsos" on both sides, and you just point fingers at each other while being equally crazy :o

You split people into groups, the groups come in to conflict even if these groups pursue similar outcomes (basically fair taxes paying for functioning infrastructure not bloated corrupt government). By outgrouping half the population with the fake 2 party system the followers of the opposite party are deindividualised and so dehumanised.

It’s an effective way using basic group psychology for division and control by the big money class that really control both parties. It’s sad to see in action.

Not much different in the UK either now unions and other working class social structures don’t get much influence on Labour.

[Ataxio]

If I objectively look at my time on live & p99, I can say that the game panders to those with existing greed complexes. While the majority of people playing p99 are friendly, the neckbeards really stick out like a sore penis and make the "end game" a shitty place to be. But thats how live was too, so there really isin't anything too unique about p99.
