Couple Questions From A Potential New Player

What level?

I know ONE monk that can pull (and I made him join my guild). There are a few monks in my level range (40- 50) but not tons.

I realize it's not easy to pull, but you guys need to start reading, and then practicing what you read.

Don't play one.. No Ty.

I like how everyone just decides to make assumptions about me, or my personality. I laid it all out for how I act when I'm playing. Then everyone turned around to say that I have entitlement issues, or that I'm an altoholic, or anything else to try and make me look bad.

I'm glad that my posts have been slowly whittling away at the sunshine and rainbows front, and reality is shining through. A couple people have made posts thinking they are teaching me a lesson about how the server is, and they are saying pretty much what I was saying.

And no, that screenshot will not shut me up. How long were you in EC? How long did you let the tell windows build up? Did you buff anyone? Did you try to make a point, and then prove my point right?

I would have buffed every one of those people. I try to go out of my way every day to help people, do you?

EDIT: I went back to read all your tell windows. Two of them were for SoW ONLY (Fuck that guy for possibly being on a CR!), and 3-4 of them weren't even buff related. All in all, you had 8 ACTUAL buff requests.

Would it really be so hard to toss each one HP buffs? You don't have to raid buff each one, and if you were going to, why not invite them all to a group and do group buffs?

Oh. Wasn't really addressing you in particular.. The above me apparently thought I was playing one.

I was asking the level of all the monks you see. I didn't assume you were playing one. I don't see them 40 - 50.

I read to page 5 and skipped to the end because there was so much complaining.

This server is what you make of it. Play what you want - you can find a group.

As to the social aspect - if you play on this server and you can't seem to get along with anyone, that's on you.

I've played here for 8 months, have a 60 enc, a full friends list, and generally have a great time when I log on whether it's just BS'ing in EC for a couple hours giving C2/haste while selling jewelry, doing some item camps, chardok aoe, or a sky raid, etc.

Do I meet assholes? Yes. They go on ignore. Is everyone super-awesome rainbow-happiness? No. This is true of any community.

The community here is absolutely what you make of it. You get what you give. As far as buffing, as an enchanter, I know how it feels to always get bombarded with tells. That's why I /roleplay when I'm AFK or actively using my mana for enchanting, etc. People seem very sensitive on this thread and I'd just like to say that this community is like any other community except true anonymity doesn't exist and reputation can follow you (well, except for the whole acct buying/selling ordeal). That's one of the great things about EQ - you get to establish who you are and what you tolerate without having to deal w/ the mindless LFG system that new modern MMOs put out.

So, roll a monk, have some fun, and don't worry on whether people are nice. Most are, some aren't, but I'd dare you to find a community that's 100% rainbows and sunshine.

Been around since the server started. I never get passed the 20s because the awful community always makes me go play something else. I come back to see if it changed every so often, and it never does. The forum always has had people saying that this server has a good community, when in fact it does not.

You might think that I am the odd man out because I am the asshole so no one helps me, but this isn't so. I give away items that are worth less than 100p, go out of my way to buff others, and try to promote a good community.

It's just a matter of people lying through their teeth to add new blood to the server.

I want pics and stories!

[Gadwen]

To OP, As you can see this server is full of all sorts of hilarity. All the drama, rage, laughs, adventure and excitement from classic EQ are still here. A mix of pathetic poop socking raiders, jaded wannabe raiders, borderline autistic nerds that can't figure out how to socialize, and players who just like to hang out and have a good time are all waiting for you to meet in game!

Pretty sure this is classic.

Sorry I was talking to Liquid, I apologize. It would have been clearer had I had a quote in that post.

EDIT: To be clear to everyone, I never meant there are no nice people. A good portion of people will be polite, but the praiseworthy acts of kindness are rare.
