Giving people the chance to behave badly due to anonymity over the internet, not a subject I was even broaching...okay...not sure how you read that in my post at all. I talked about different clans, and how each person, based on a choice of clan will have a different experience than others. I wasn't speaking of the Darkfall community as a whole, but each microcosm of a community within the game (ie - the clans). The one poster disregarded another poster's experience, and I simply pointed out that everyone will have a different experience based on their choices. As for the community as a whole, it may very well be the case that they have more a$$hat$ than the average game. Don't know, cause I haven't played it, nor do I intend to. I just simply posted in response to an all encompassing statement that issues with a "bad, immature community was not true at all". So, take my words as you will, but I do agree with you on the one character per account thing.
That poster was me, in my opinion as a person who actually plays the game DF community is not different then another MMO, you have whole spectrum of characters and I like it. One day you can be saved from sure death by a stranger, another you can be ambushed by group of sadistic renegades. One day you make a friend another and enemy. I have seen examples where reputation of same players came after them from times of Ultima Onlina, old hatreds and friendships shape Darkfall world. Clash of different characters and groups, that's what make this game like any other MMO less shallow then a typical pvp fps game.
Of course you can see leet talking idiots or clans like Goons which members or even leaders make me feel sick, but you can avoid this kind of people in gaming community.
One reason I quit playing mmos is because of general community. Some are worse, some are better, but all have those kind of players. Sure DF is 90% those players and WoW is like 60% but still they are everywhere.
Who wants to play a game with someone that cusses every second word and thinks he knows everything? They also mostly all talk like 14 year olds even though they say they are like 24.

No arguments here. Some of your points are reasons why I like the pvp aspects of some MMOs. Of course l33t speaking d00dz are never an enjoyable aspect of any game, nor are clans/guilds that are the lowest common denominator (griefers, hackers, exploiters, and the like). All in all, glad to hear you are enjoying your game.
