It's a EQ2/Rift raiding game clone. That community is one of the most toxic groups of players I have ever played with in an MMO and I simply can't get excited because of the mentality those people have.

They're the kind of people who hate WoW because it's 'for kids and too easy', want MMOs to go back to their roots but spend thousands of dollars on microtransactions (along with a $15 sub), try to progress, and then complain back to the company that has them by their shirt collars that the game is too hard when they try and raid.

Fuck everything about those people.

I barely even noticed the community while playing because the game is solo oriented. And theres no downtime, you just spam buttons constantly.

Not like EQ were even if you solo....you still end up sitting around and can talk. Barely got up to level...8ish this past weekend. I want to like it, because it's new...but the only unique feature the game offers is the "Paths" and they are....so pointless thus far.

[Ghordo]

Even more toxic then the red server playerbase ? Well, 75% of it which is what 50 ?

I didn't get a chance to play Easter weekend at all, but I hear a new interface and lots of overhauls. Excited to see them.

And I hate to do this... But I agree with Scikala again. Other than grouping with my RL friends I really haven't noticed anyone else in the game. I see them running around doing their thing, but I don't care because I am doing my thing. I don't read general chat at all and just talk back to my friends via our guild or tells.

[Scikala]

Woah woah hate to agree with me? I'm almost insulted! =P

Haha I didnt check it out, since my Closed Beta access was wiped since I didnt get to 30, I hate trying to track down new beta codes every weekend...so I went back to FFXIV.

It definitely wasn't a terrible game in the end, just nothing that really grabbed me. It's the type of game that if all my friends were playing, I would...otherwise, nope.

[Lyrith]

Your just a lot like me and I wish I could be strong and not buy the new next game that is going to fail. But I freaking did it either way...

I always have high hopes for these games then I get let down. Least Knights of the Old Republic didn't let me down for quite a while. But to be fair I had about 5 RL friends playing it nightly and was in a raiding? guild. I use that term loosely these days as 10 people to do something isn't really raiding...

I have had several friends leave FFXIV, so don't see me trying that... I did install live again and been running around on it here and there before Easter. But really unless I pay that monthly fee or make a new character I am at a stopping point already.

Just need to focus on here and get my NEC/SHM to 60! =D

[Scikala]

Eh as you get older you(I) tend to jump at chances to game with our friends when we can, its natural.

I got bored after the first two months due to no friends....but a buddy picked it up so I went back, and they put A LOT of stuff in that would have kept me playing.

Yeah I was gold last year on Live...couldnt play it without, so I think their plan is to rope you in with unlocked freedom up until 80ish basically.

I can't deal with P99...the whole neckbeard/cock blocking politics of raiding on this server is a nightmare.

You guys ought to give Uthgard 2.0 (revamped DAoC classic + SI + old frontiers) a try when it's finally back up. It's an old MMO, from EQ's era basically, so alot of things tend to be similar, but it has a great pvp system in place. Check out their site @ uthgard.net or the thread I made in off-topic if you're interested.

Oh I will be playing this for sure as long as people remind me when it get closer to coming back up. DAoC was great and I really enjoyed playing it, I think I only stopped because my computer couldn't handle it when I got out into open world RvR. I want to say I got a ranger, lurk race(shorty) up to like level 40. Loved the quest system and their versions of epics, felt they did a lot of "Right" things. Loved guild crests on shields/cloaks... Just never got to experience any high end gaming on it.

Scrooge, do you have a group of people your going to statically play with ? If so how do I get in =) I played DAoC to the amount as Lyrith has (Midgard for me) I would like to experience DAoC with the help of some sensei's!! hehe
