DAoC community
I canceled my sub but thought I'd leave a note on the way out.
Long time player, however haven't played the past few years. The community is not what it was. I guess that can be said about all online gaming these days. I was excited to dive back into a game I spent literal years of my life playing, but it's insane how rude and unfriendly the community has become or evolved into. I'm not sure some of you realize that you're still playing with and talking to human beings. I've never been met with such hateful and disgusting comments in all my years of gaming. When I think or consider that most of you are my age or older it's embarrassing.
If someone sends you a message, for any reason unless they're clearly being rude to you, you might try using your fingers and typing a message rather than a rude " ? ". You're already sitting on your ass, are you really too lazy/unfriendly to respond to a human being sending you a message? With the population so low, why not try being friendly so that people stick around? Food for thought.
If a returning player ( clearly stating they are a returning player) asks a question in a general chat channel and you have nothing to contribute that is helpful, stop responding with hate/trollish responses that are only going to cause those players to quit/find other things to do with their time, rather than playing with 40 year old trolls who should have grown a little by now. I recall a instance of asking if the caps have changed because my char with an old template was absolutely destroyed in a 1v1 and it seemed unrealistic. I was told I should try playing checkers.
Just because you're anonymously speaking through a screen name/avatar doesn't mean you should be a complete jackass to people. I'm sure most of you wouldn't act this way in person, so grow up.
To those of you that are/were friendly, best of luck.

Used to be? Ok
I made an exception for you the other day.
Sure it was. I was talking in region about Daoc and you chime in just to be a jerk and i am not even sure why. Must play Alb or Mid Stealth.
My Apologies towards you, You always irritated me in a small child type way, so when logging in for the second time in 3 something years and seeing your name pop up ...I got all giddy with excitement to lay down some less than stellar comments in /region.
100% agree...but if you play Xbox or PS4....join a CoD game....you will be appalled at what is said ingame ..
Pretty much sums me up, I would belittle others to make me feel better about myself.
My experience back has been pretty positive...population level is a downer and BS could make some adjustments in areas to adjust fighting off of EV
Cant confirm your impression at all. Maybe you met the wrong people.
I can understand your frustration.

More Mid hate for no reason at all, usual @Fateboi. Serenade us with another "no discord" ballad xD
Unfortunately you still have toxic boneheads in game @Maky , but there is the older/relaxed/chill community underneath the trolls.
Alot more names come to mind...

I've been advertising for a gear change on this forum for a few weeks now, and I am glad you mentioned that as part of your reasons. People currently playing often don't see this, but the gear advantage BS put in is devastating even for old players with templated gear, and that is a significant problem for RvR. It not only scares away new players, but also returning players. And if that is not changed soon, RvR will suffer even further from the lack of participants.
If you message me, you might get the "?" - not trying to be rude, but I have received my share of rage tells, and I am cautious when someone I don't know opens a conversation.
What is the Discord channel? I'm also a returning player. Thanks
