Yealight Quits: EQClassic Dead

But, the same can't be said about any group of enthusiasts. Have you ever been to a major sporting event? You have thousands of people, incredibly passionate about their hobby and their team. Also some of the rudest, foul-mouthed, most obnoxious people you'll encounter who will in fact trash the place and tell you fuck off. Lets avoid looking for specific instances to make our cases though, because they are easy to pick out and really do little to address the issue I was bringing up.

We are talking about society at large here. Some people are less than ideal company no matter where you interact with them. To expect that somehow you wouldn't encounter those people here, on this server, is just naïve. Trust me, EQC would have had exactly the same types of players and problems. Because it's human nature, not because it's localized to project1999.

If the poster had instead done what many of us have by ignoring the filth and socializing with like-minded players, he wouldn't have had such a miserable experience.

A major sporting event is just that, a major event. It's not a small group of people partaking in an unpopular hobby. It is not unreasonable to think that if i go to the model airplane club that the people will be polite, friendly and welcoming. It's not unreasonable to think the same about the local croquet association either. It shouldn't be unreasonable to think the same thing about a 15 year old game that has maybe a few thousand regular players.

Nobody expects that they will never meet a rude person, but the general attitude of people that have played here for longer than a couple months is a lot shittier than most people would expect. To tell people that they shouldn't expect any better is bullshit, and tells me that you are probably one of those people with a shitty disposition that causes this server to be populated by the same few hundred high end people with a low end population that is essentially a revolving door.

Eventually P99 is going to run out of those friendly and enthusiastic new players and just be stuck with nothing but the jaded, disgruntled, basement dwelling neckbeards that take their frustrations out on each other.

That's because your forums were heavily moderated and posts need to pass a vigorous screening process before they see the light of day.

Which is why one pseudo negative poster, like Ranger whatever, wrecked the entire boards.

If you don't raid at the upper end and don't worry much about the forums then the P1999 community is about average for most online games. The most irritating folks congregate at the top of the raid scene where they mostly interact with each other. Even there they're probably a minority, just a particularly loud and visible one. P99-Red receives special exception because flaring tempers and trash talk go hand-in-hand with PvP games. It comes with the territory.

Contrasting the P99 and EQC communities probably serves little purpose. Given the number of folks who participate in both communities, myself included, they're in effect one and the same. The EQC boards are better solely due to the high degree of active moderation.

One note: P99's average community, surprisingly, is rather young: mostly in the early-mid 20's. Lots of folks here were little kids when EQ was new. I was surprised to find myself a bit older than the average here. As such this community naturally doesn't exhibit the sort of conservative maturity that a forum populated by 50 and 60 year olds will.

Long story short, this is neither the best nor the worst community I've seen.

Thread delivers again! Keep up the QQ.

If you (Beledic) thought that EQC was going to be this magical land of tele-tubbies and bluebies holding classic hands you sir are naïve.

It would have been a magical land of exploits where yeahlight tears flowed from the sky like rain!

If he moderated his server the way the forums are moderated I really doubt it. The only tears flowing would be all the banned douches from P99 that tried to go over there.

I guess I never realized just how well the moderators on the EQC forums did their job. Perhaps this forum could use some moderating. There seems to be some cold angry people on this forum. I am not a member of many forums so perhaps I am not aware this is how people talk to each other on the internet.

For God's sake shut the fuck up and die. I hope you give your baby AIDS next time you rape it.
