my observations and why I chose not to play

This clearly is an attempt at trolling. Why would someone spend months looking at a forum about a game when they could easily have just logged into the game to check it out. Then decide to tell everyone it's "not for them".

Exactly.

Lol wooot, people seriously believe this was a random person that accidentially stumbled upon our forums and decided to write a novel [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People are weird.

I agree with most other folks in this thread...the easiest way to get a good understanding of the server is to make a char and log in for a few hours, not reading the boards.

this server, despite some of the things you point out, actually has avoided some of the pit falls that existed on live: there is no allowed botting here (creating a more social environment imo), there is no RMT (no selling of plat for real $).

obviously, the people on the forums complaining of bans make a huge splash here because it is the only place they can. in truth, they are an extreme minority of the population.

i've never had a single friend banned for any reason, and the only people I know that were banned have admitted to me that they were actually doing whatever they were banned for.

just like on live there are power gamers, and social gamers. a lot depends on what guild you decide to join (just like on live). The imagined past that so many EQ players have is that there were no power gamers or guilds back on live in 1999, and this is just not true. From the very beginning you had folks that were power gamers and in uber guilds...its just that in 1999 that language just didn't exist to describe it yet (in many ways, EQ invented the notions of raiding, uber, etc.)---but the mindset was there from the beginning.

there are tons and tons and tons of good people here who are social gamers. some of them even raid casually if that is what you are into. HUGE mistake to judge the real 1999 community here by just reading the forums.

Make a character and play on the fucking server!!!! In most MMO's only about 10% or so post on the forums. Looking at the forums will give you no clue what the server is like. Stop being lazy and play and find out for your self. You will find a really great community of players!!!

Wow. Just wow. I'm really glad I posted this. I guess I was right about how the server behaves. Especially nilbog's response. If this is what I'm to encounter on this server, why bother?

after having read your post thoroughly, might I suggest trying the VZTZ Emulated server? It seems like their player base might be better suited to your style.

cheers,

I didnt see anything in there about him liking to dupe/hack...
