I had been into computer gaming since I had an Atari that I got for Christmas but back then it wasn't considered gaming. I really didn't get into it until I was in 9th grade, with BBS Door games. I played all the old school FPS, Catacombs of the Abyss, had Doom LAN parties with the Aliens Movie mod. All the Baldur's Gate and Diablo Series. The list is long. I started playing EQ at release. I was 26 years old. I played on live fairly regularly till PoP. Disgusted at what the game had become with that expansion I sold my account January of 2003 and went off to the next big thing.

I'm 40 now. One thing that I've noticed since dusting off EQ and playing here is that back on live, when I would have been driven to anger and retaliation with a flurry of tells, KoS'ing or training morons that had the misfortune of my ire, now I'm finding myself shaking my head, calling them a dumb ass and then going on my merry way.

Now that I'm older, my time is much more valuable than it used to be, and I'd rather spend it entertaining myself than caught up in some bullshit drama with a stupid ass kid.

Being drunk and hanging out with sober people is usually a bummer of a situation, unless you're not supposed to be drunk, then its tolerable.

Definitely... "free to play" culture encourages it. If people lose a character/account that they spent weeks/months on they'd be pissed so would likely "behave".

What's a 45 minute game of LoL to anyone? If it goes badly, they'll never see anyone again... so people just say it straight, and it encourages a terrible community as its now the norm.

A) Cool that this thread got some traction cause I think it's a pretty interesting topic to delve into.

and

B) I had pretty much every system worth having, NES, SNES, Sega, Sega 32x, Sega Saturn (maybe not worth having lol) N64, PS1, only consoles I skipped out on were dreamcube, ps2 ps3, the wii, and the new turdpiles of xbox 1 and ps4.

One of my biggest regrets to this day involving my oldschool game collection, was when I was about 14 I took my NES, SNES, about 200 games, my Sega's, basically all my shit except my N64 and PS1, and sold them at a gaming store to get enough money to buy a better video card for Everquest lol... I really really wish I still had that collection, being a dumb kid I didn't realize how baller it would be to have in this era.

idk what rose-tinted past you nerds are remembering but public gaming has always been a cesspool of retards and trolling outside of cringeworthy super-cereal EQ bluebies.

Anyways.... it's sad to see the next generation of gaming culture ruining one of my favourite sanctuaries, is it too much to ask for people to not be entirely shitty to one another while doing a recreational activity that is supposed to be centred around FUN?

The internet in its entirety is being ruined since all the retards that used to spend their time watching TV discovered it as a way to pass time. I'm not saying that the internet was some secret club, but the idiot volume has skyrocketed in the last 4 years.
