This is really interresting. In over 1 year i have been following the threads on this forum, and i can't, for the life of me, understand why so many posts are so negative, and filled with hate. Why is this forum attracting so much negativity, when its goal is unselfish and good?
What motivates people to write negatively charged posts, on a forum for a free online roleplaying game? If there is a psychologist out there, please give us your expertise!!

As I figure it, you've got probably 50% of players who are casual players, 25% that are between casual and hardcore, and 25% that are hardcore. With one guild soaking up a good 200members of a low pop server it breeds this sort of stuff. The negatively charged posts on the forums and what not are honestly a coping mechanism for people who have no real social life (aka too much free time.) Some of the trolling is done by people that are on a med break and what not or waiting for a camp to respawn. Which is still due to lack of anything better going on in their lives that they're just comfortable with trolling. That's the way I see it. I mean, I've trolled in other games before a damn decent amount but never did for P99 because it's everquest man! That trolling shit was fine in other mmo's but not in EQ. It ain't classic, it's kiddy shit.
