So much hate

[SamwiseRed]

remove raid mobs for 3 weeks. enable perma death and full item loot. last one standing gets a cookie. server wipe.

For every post about hate, I see a pansy.

Really, it ain't that bad, swyft and frequent use of the ignore function is an excellent solution.

The hate comes from the way the server is setup. The administration have done an excellent job with this sever, but the community we have now is what comes from a stagnant FFA environment.

• Players may kill each other indiscriminately - no teams means no trust
• The LNS and PnP are guidelines, rather than rules coded into the game, meaning players can and do abuse them.
• There's heavy PvP imbalance due to inconsistent resists. Whether a spell lands or is fully resisted, someone always feels cheated that the RNG didn't go in their favor.
• RMT is possible because some of the best raid loot is tradable.
• Plugging is possible, thus people have a way to avoid PvP on the PvP server...
• The leader board and YT encourage people to be douchebags about kills / getting killed and make people care about a meaningless stat.

The server as it is now is a product of the rules. It was inevitable, in spite of our administration's best intentions.

Sure that's part of the problem.. it's also an easy way to shirk all responsibility from the players.

The players are the only thing keeping this server not stagnant. It is a 16 year old game stuck in an expansion for 2-3 years that lasted like 6 months back on live. I don't know how this server managed to find this many people to still log in and care this much about the game.

Bitter because no one likes you BUR.


Plenty of good pals on this server. Sorry you are socially inept.

Player behavior is a product of the system. Red's community currently resembles a bad MOBA more than anything; it isn't unique. And it isn't the administration's fault either, just the system. A few tweaks to the server code (no more plugging, anti-RMT measures such as more no drop raid loot, etc.) would go a long way towards improving the community.

I love the pvp but when you kill someone and they bring real life attacks into it when it's a game.... There is no need

this game means a lot more to some people than it does to others, just realize this and move on
