lhaa, aiwendil, it's about time you stopped victimizing yourselves. it tarnishes your reputation. i used to hold you guys in high regard, now i'm not too sure you should even be part of the osp (i think that's it). akaiddo's speaking about a general attitude i've also seen on laanx. put your derailguns away.

No he is not. But his words aren't directed at you so I understand you don't interpret them in the same way. Quoting other people without using bbcode tags doesn't make others blind, though. ;)

In this I have to give you the point. It's much better to have people who will sit and nod, and shut up when they are asked to.

If I have a reputation it's already way too tarnished for me to bother about it. Otherwise I would use the same demagogy and rhetorics the OP did and save myself through them.

The longer I follow these forums, the more shrinks my desire to return to the game once I have time again...

However, I must return... so many things undone, plans uncompleted...

As a new person to this forum, checking this game, I would like to know why you do not have the desire to return to this game?

I do love the game I play, but I thought I would try something new. I wonder if I should?

So your a new player, whose name is Happy, and your first post is in the topic named 'Saddening Attitudes'.

Oh yeah, you're definitely a new player who is asking these questions genuinely.

lol, says it all. But in an actual answer to a hypothetical person, the game is fun. Its escapist and distracts you from stuff you ought to be doing. What more reason to play a game do you need?
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Frankly, Lhaa is dead on.  I've been playing PS for at least twice as long as Akaiddo, if not more (I've been around since about halfway through 0.3, I never saw him around back in CB)...and I never had anyone teach me how to RP back then...I had to pick much of it up myself, with the exception of RPdueling, which Farren tutored me in.

No I do not take pills to make me happy. I am a happy person mostly. Though this is not how I expect to be treated as a new comer sadly.

I always check a forum out before I play a new game. This community makes me wonder about this game I must say.

imo, the community here is a lot nicer than the communities of other mmorpgs. but that's mostly due to its size and focus on roleplay. however, there are some players here with the napoleonic idea that they're so much bigger and smarter than noobs or casual players.

No he is not. But his words aren't directed at you so I understand you don't interpret them in the same way. Quoting other people without using bbcode tags doesn't make others blind, though. ;)

yes he is. and i know i'm not you, that's why i'm not getting so defensive. what you said was an example of the attitude he's speaking about. just because he's using your words as an example doesn't mean he's personally attacking you. get over it. it was rude to say in the first place.

Frankly, Lhaa is dead on.  I've been playing PS for at least twice as long as Akaiddo, if not more (I've been around since about halfway through 0.3, I never saw him around back in CB)...and I never had anyone teach me how to RP back then...I had to pick much of it up myself, with the exception of RPdueling, which Farren tutored me in.

that's not the point!

the point of this thread is that the players now (doesn't matter if they were or weren't like this in the past) are unwelcoming to new players who don't know how to rp. no one gives a crap about the "golden generation" anymore. akaiddo, for some reason, was comparing the generations as a theme to his post, but he didn't seem to realize that's irrelevant.

Don't let this bother you. The forums always go through these kinds of periods... it's the nature of forums. :) Now I wish I still knew where to find that one Ctr Alt Delete comic strip about forums being the lowest form of internet activity and the effect it has on one's brain. Neverthless, don't judge the game by the forums. Welcome and have fun.  :flowers:

P.S.: Don't mind anything Timmothy says, he does it on purpose.  ;)

You know what's really sad, happy? When people with agendas stoop low enough to disguise themselves and portray themselves as something else in a spiteful way.

1. The forums have ALWAYS been infested with trolls and conflicts. Don't base your opinion of the game on this, because the problem causers in the forums are for the most part not important in game.

2. I_do_not_know a single person in game who blatantly does NOT help new players. What a baseless accusation to make. The community in this game is by far the best I have ever encountered or heard of. The vast majority of players in Planeshift are helpful to newcomers.

I could hook you up - I know a guy, he knows a guy that's got access to the good stuff.

1. i never mentioned the forums

2. you don't know? well i do, so my accusation isn't baseless. and yes, this is by far the best community, but that doesn't mean there aren't jerks here.

wait, why did you post that? you just confirmed everything i said  :P

Read the underlined section. You CANT make a generalization about the playerbase because you DONT know what you are talking about.

You again, don't know the playerbase enough and your accusation is baseless.

ADDED: I find it hilarious when one person makes this kind of observation and all the yes men fall in line. You can't group the whole playerbase together and say it and make it valid. And if we're on the topic of experience, I've been playing for years.
