The problem is that your screenies make you seem as big a jerk as Daverik. Which you probably are. But the bottom line is that everyone that plays P99 is a jerk. Everyone that plays EQEMU is a jerk. Everyone that plays MMORPGS is a jerk. That's why we're here. Being absolute douchebags to total strangers for no reason at all....that is our comfort zone. And you're going to need to grow a few layers of skin in order to play here. Because I can guarantee what you experienced is going to happen again and again.

You're surrounded by people with varying degrees of mental illness. Get used to it, or go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure. In the nude.
That's pretty fucking sad, if griefing and being a douchebag to random strangers is the reason you play this game. I know it's not why I play it. In fact, considering douchebag/normal ratio (my own personal experience at least), it's a very vocal, bitter, socially retarded minority. A large part of appear to have made their way to RnF, which isn't surprising cause that's exactly where they belong.

And here you are right along with us. What color is that there kettle, pot?

Vocal? True. Bitter? True. Socially retarded? Very true. Minority? False. Patently false.

"A large part", meaning the RnF forum can also be composed of people who aren't just out to troll or flame, as evidenced by the posts in this thread. Minority= extremely true. I have yet to run into more than a couple of people who went out of their way to be assholes.
Everyone else, from pick up groups, players selling items, guild members, rezers, have been great. People actually tend to enjoy helping out those that are lower level, given them items and plat, sometimes even creating a quest around it. There are any number of clerics who travel around the world rezing others for free.
I'm not saying we're not all nerds to a certain degree, cause we obviously are. A nerd isn't always a jerk, though a jerk can be a nerd. Which is what this minority is, a bunch of nerdy jerks. You can try to convince me otherwise, but my own subjective, personal experience has been otherwise. Maybe you've been running into all the assholes.

Yeah, most (all?) of the people I've interacted with in-game have been friendly and mature. I know there are some jerks out there, but they're in the extreme minority.

I even make an attempt to present myself as a jerk, but if someone sends me a /tell asking for help to drag a corpse from a zone or two away or asks me to do anything I can actually do, I almost always help them. In the reverse, everyone I have encountered with a solitary exception has been totally helpful and cooperative.

I'll give you an example. A few nights ago I left an oasis group to go to unrest or something because I was sick of oasis. on the way north, I got rooted by a ghoul that was yellow to me. Now as an unbuffed, untwinked tank I have basically no chance against a yellow con mob. I sent one of the members of my old group a /tell asking them to come north and help me. when I was at about 20% the wizard and cleric came from their group, nuked the ghoul down and healed me up. I told them I owed them both a big favor and I intend to honor my promise when they ask. Kindness is infectious; it's hard to be a dick when you get confronted with kindness everywhere you go.

Not going to try to convince you of anything, because I happen to know that the people who claim everything is all peachy and roses are the biggest dickheads of all....and that's the way it's always been, in-game AND IRL.

Is that really the way you feel? How sad for you.

For sure man, IRL the despondent, cynical and perpetually angry are well known as being the nicest people around. Cheerfull, positive people on the other hand are always dicks. Oh and i posess the knowledge of everyone's personality, not only currently but throughout the whole of human existence.

/snark


No really though, do you have any examples of this? I would be interested.
