I'm down! I'd like to see a server where we can fight and kill each other's elves and then laugh about it afterward and say "Seeya next time."

I believe one of the biggest things preventing that kind of lighthearted play is the culture of humiliation that exists on this server. People tease and insult others when they die/lose/flee/plug. Rather than be "sore winners," people should just say "GF" and reap whatever benefits they've gained by winning the PvP.

Another issue that makes things get heated is frequent accusations of bad behavior. Best to let bygones be bygones and let the PvP decide.

If baseball players or other professional athletes behaved like some people here do, they'd be kicked off the team before long. Sportsmanship matters.

I can't say I'm optimistic about changing the behavior or communication style of some of Red's denizens, but perhaps we can make at least some difference. Gzaz and anyone else, let's try to change the culture here a little bit.

your elf team sucks.

The hate comes from the way the server is setup. The administration have done an excellent job with this sever, but the community we have now is what comes from a stagnant FFA environment.

• Players may kill each other indiscriminately - no teams means no trust
• The LNS and PnP are guidelines, rather than rules coded into the game, meaning players can and do abuse them.
• There's heavy PvP imbalance due to inconsistent resists. Whether a spell lands or is fully resisted, someone always feels cheated that the RNG didn't go in their favor.
• RMT is possible because some of the best raid loot is tradable.
• Plugging is possible, thus people have a way to avoid PvP on the PvP server...
• The leader board and YT encourage people to be douchebags about kills / getting killed and make people care about a meaningless stat.

The server as it is now is a product of the rules. It was inevitable, in spite of our administration's best intentions.

Also, I'm realizing some people lightheartedly talk trash upon victory and then other people really believe it and take it personally. Case in point, the above post. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I can laugh at this now, but I think in the long run it's only going to result in more hate. You gotta be careful how you phrase things in text format because people can read it in any tone of voice they imagine.
