35) Although you may never have written a line of code or drawn anything more sophisticated than a stick-figure, you are instantly an expert on all aspects of games development because you've played them ... a lot ...
36) Anything said by someone who is an employee of a company associated with a game is an obvious lie and a desperate attempt to salvage something from the car wreck that is their game.
37) Opinions carry greater weight if they display a total disregard for spelling and grammar.
38) Only one opinion on anything is true, as long as its yours - and holding fast to that opinion in the face of all concrete evidence makes it more so.
39) If posting in General Discussion, make sure the title of your thread is either, "i need a new game..." or "what do you think..." Don't put any words in the title that could possibly describe the subject.
41) Given that you have played MMORPG's "since Ultima online times", you have now become an expert on the subject and you know everything about MMORPG's. If you were to create one yourself, it would be the best game ever made and you would have 100 million subscribers. Any opinions against yours are nonesense; you are utterly brilliant.
42) If you made friends on your server, said server now has a mature playerbase. Any flames towards your game's community have nothing to do with your superior server's playerbase.
43) You like and want to play MMORPG's but none that are out right now. You're waiting for the revolutionary game thats coming out that fixes itself and never ends, has the perfect crafting system, character customization, leveling system, world setting, community, and also runs on your slow piece of **** computer but looks like real life, and also in this game you will meet your best friend and wife, where you will also become the most powerful and respected player in the game.
44) If you're going to add a post to a topic, click on quote from the last guy who spoke even when your post will have little or nothing to do with his.
45) If you get killed by another class in your game, come to MMORPG.com to tell us why the game is unbalanced and should be fixed immediately or you are going to cancel.
47) If you don't like full-loot, attack-anywhere PVP, you're a worthless wimp who loas a PVP fight and cried in the shower IRL because of it, you can't stand competition, you're not a real gamer, you fail at being able to handle the pressure, you're a coward, and you smell bad.
48) It is completely beyond comprehension why people react negatively to the proponents of full-loot, attack-anywhere PVP games.
49.) WoW is a clone of WAR and WAR is a clone of WoW, which makes them both clones of LoTR since Tolkien invented Orcs, despite the one game not even coming out yet and the other two completely different.
50.) If you play WoW, you're obviously 12 or younger despite the average age being round 25.
51.) Even though we havent played AoC/WAR, they are going to save the MMO industry with its all new "fun" innovating superior form of gameplay.
52) put old and/or obscure titles in your sig and say that youre playing them,and using the phrases 'skill based' and 'sandbox' to attain a higher status than those who are playing wow or any other commercial mmo(who are obviously kiddies). make topics in forums of these commercial games,possibly using the word 'veteran' in the title,to show your disdain after playing it and how it wasnt sandboxy enough for you. maybe mention youve played mmos since ultima online.
1) NextGen game X is superior to any current game, even though game X is still in alpha and hasn't been played by anyone on the forums. It will "kill" all existing MMORPG's upon its release. 2) Anyone who likes a game is a mindless fanboy, blind to the many faults of their chosen game. 3) Anyone who dislikes a game is a trolling hater, having nothing better to do than try to convince players how little fun they're having with their chosen game. SOE, I wonder who he may be refering too? 4) WoW created all MMORPG standards, and any game using any of these standards is a WoW clone. 5) A post in any game forum will always result in the use of the word "fanboy" (fanboi) or "hater" within two responses.
53) Fans of the genre in general are not allowed. A love or hate opinion of all MMO's is prerequisite including but not limited to the following titles. (UO, EQ1, WOW, EVE, SWG, VG & LOTRO.)
54) All posts must be based on kneejerk reactions & steeped in hyperbole for maximum effect.
55) The use of logic, reasoning and sevility are strictly forbidden, this law shall be vigorusly enforced.
56) Any MMO not allowing 24 hour max leveling is herby deemed an Asian Grinder...(even if it wasn't created Asia.)
62) When someone posts a long, well thought out post with great reasoning and logic, the correct etiquette is to ignore it completely and continue posting inane drivel.
63) If you're 18 or younger, you are just as mature and wise as anyone over 30, and don't ever let them even hint that it might not be so.
64) Until you reach 200 posts, you don't have an opinion, so don't even try to express anything, except maybe just how right and clever the people with high post counts are.
79) Any change to a class that makes it less powerful is a nerf, regardless if the change is totally justified. The nerf is a result of the inability of the game designers to balance all other classes compared to yours. Also, the true intent of the nerf is to hurt your feelings, shrink your e-peen and make the game less fun to play.
82 Having a "What Final Fantasy Androgynous Male(?) Character Are You" quiz links in your sig make you cooler. And chicks dig dudes that look like chicks.
83 If you flame the shit out of some game, and then your super favorite game EVAR comes out, and people slag it off as being a shallow, boring game with little to no longevity, it's ok to make pretend you didn't spend 4 months being a trolling little shit in every single thread, and tell them they're bad people for picking on your favorite game, which is the only perfect game in a sea of MMORPGs that all just suck. Also, anyone that disagrees with you isn't playing the game the right way.
People with low post counts aren't inherently invalid, but when they come in and start throwing their shitte around, don't expect sympathy when they get slapped back into place.

58. At least once a week, someone must object to men playing women in games.
59. There are no women playing games, dammit!
60. The Mourning thread will outlive you and your children. That's just the way it is.

NCSoft is centered in Korea, but they are just the producers. The creators of the game are the Garriot brothers' own Destination Games.
