A History of Crime and Punishment

[Pudge]

well fuck. maybe they put it in and didnt tell me! hah. i never tried it again. or maybe my poison was just too badass to bottle

[Softcore PK]

Trash talk is fun to a point, but sometimes it goes way too far. I'm really hoping Red99 has a good amount of GMs that will enforce the play nice policy.

No, that kind of behavior is what destroyed communities, not "made them better". I watched it happen in Shadowbane from release till they closed their doors. In the last year it was NOTHING but constant "shit talk", flaming, etc. Was sad and poisonous, all the mature people left the game and the company went under.

And its why the biggest and best EMUs like the DAOC one linked above, throw people like you out.

I mean, you just bragged about tricking people into drinking poision to avoid a karma point in LoK so you could grief them consequence free. You are a griefer and a exploiter and people like you have slowly but surely destroyed MMO communities from the beggining till now.

And the difference between 10 years ago and now is, there are a whole lot more people just like you for some reason. We could handle you back on rallos because most of us played the game to play, not grief. These days it absolutly takes active GM support to keep the griefers/shittalkers/community well poisoners (litterally in your case), in check.

pretty sure what destroyed shadowbane was the buggy broken game, not the community calling each other shitheads.

wrong, the game was absoutly great fun to play the first couple of years. People played politics, there was a very large and mature "lore play" (roleplay, in game actions based on the lore of their cities charter or guilds race) community, merchant towns, etc.

Despite pretty crippling bugs and random sb.exe crashes to desktops etc.

The griefers, dupers, and exploiters it what killed shadowbane. They wore the moderators down, they wore the GMs down, they wore the community down.

Im afraid the same thing will happen on red99 after being on these boards awhile and seeing /ooc in game. Which will really be a shame. The rest of us will leave and you can trade corpse camping episodes with the 30 odd VZTZ brewws.

guess like many other things you did not actually play shadowbane, i was there from launch day until a year later when the population was 20% what it once was. the decline was due entirely to bugs, crashes, rollbacks, deleted cities, dupes, instakill proc weapons, GM corruption and assorted other garbage.

game never recovered and continued its decline until it went free to play and 5000 korean players picked it up and ruined every server with a zerg previously unheard of.

You just said you left after one year, so please dont presume to know what went down years later.

hint: everyone became a Darwoth clone. Imagine everyone RPKing and calling each other dipshit non stop while they teabagged on corpses and took fraps of it to post.

Darwoth believes such things as:

Pacify doesn't aggro, and it is a bug that it does.
Griefing is fun.
Exploiting mechanics to grief is acceptable.

His opinions are worthless and should be thrown out without a second thought. He is pretty much the epitome of what is wrong with gaming. His enjoyment comes at the price of fucking over others. He is worthless.

[Flunklesnarkin]

I think its a good idea..

maybe not too many details on each banned account though because then people get all nitpicky about what a proper punishment should be.


Maybe just a general reason like..

10 accounts banned for position hacks

or 5 for griefing or w/e

for those of you guys who don't know LoK.. that was a GAME. hardcore. when you died, the monsters looted YOU. you'd get back to where you died, and find some scraps of your shit on the floor, pick up what was left, and then go down hunting the dungeon for your own shit. find the mobs there chillin in your gear, have to slay those bastards or else another player would eventually end up with your boss loots.

when dragons killed you, depending on the type of attack, they ATE you. then your naked ass went straight to the underworld, which was a bitch and took at least an hour to get out of
