Good post Bubbles.

And I don't feel like you have to be an asshole to newbies just by being hardcore (in response to Eccentricaa) I'd agree most of the assholes are hardcore, but there are also a lot of people who want to help newbies out and are willing to provide advice/assistance/platinum.

To continue what Bubbles is saying, the mystery is gone. It's 10 years old. So you won't really get people coming on to explore an unknown world, but more of us are here to conquer it like we didn't the first time around when we were exploring. It's a different experience in a lot of ways for me.

And you get what we had here last week. Which is the way he wants it... well he gets it.

Nah, but you get hardcore guilds fighting to be the ones to get to conquer. There's some competition. Just the way it is. Not that it wasn't there in 99, but it'll definitely be visible to the casual now, since even the casual doesn't have a mysterious world to occupy him.
