Most Mature MMORPG

Tryggvi

Alright... no flaming in here.  I just wanna know which p2p game has the most mature community, and the most mature gameplay.  I also want to know which f2p game has the most mature gameplay and community.  I don't care if it's 2d, 3d, 2.5d, as long as it's not text.  I can't seem to like those.  Thing is, I need a decently mature f2p mmorpg until I get a job (Hopefully I'll get a paycheck with 3 weeks.)  And then I plan on playing a new game...unless no new ones are available and I will go back to Asheron's Call.

Saga Of Ryzom was the most mature community i've seen in a game. Even a little too mature to me. lol

Tryggvi

Care to go into detail as in how it was too mature?

SnaKey

EVE Online or SoR

Ciredric

Eve online is certainly not a mature audience.  Used to be very mature, but the kiddies have invaded as of late and chat in high sec has been very reminisant of Barrens chat lately.

Might i suggest Dark age of camelot, Saga of Ryzom, and EQ (1 or 2 really). Because these games have moderate complex systems and large learning curves, they generally do not attract a younger crowed.

That's because 1.0 & 0.9 is pretty much nothing but trial members. They don't count. I'm not even that advanced of a player and RARELY I have a reason to travel into 0.8 - 1.0 space.

I always hear SoR as already mentioned.  I played the trial but I didn't see much difference between it and any other MMO.   Pretty much regardless of what people say they are all about the same IMHO.   Depends a lot on the server, and the time of day you play.

EVE Online. I am a long time veteran and if you don't play EVE Online you must be n00b.

i guess that mean you don't want to be able to notice a downgrade in chat etc when school lets out, i can't say i blame you there i get tired of rediculous imature rambling esp. the drug chatter and lemme show you how grown up i am by the foul lamguage i use nooblets. i too am curious to hear others opinions , seems like a good thresd to watch

MW2K

A Tale in the Desert.

Aelfinn

Ryzom and AO among those I have tried

Gorukha

Attitudes like this (among other things) are why I don't play EVE Online. It started out fairly interesting, but quickly deteriorated to the typical "how can I ruin your game today" type crap.

It gets really old, and in a game where a player with more skill points can kill you in about 2 seconds, and leveling is time-based rather than experience-based, EVERYONE has more skill points than you. There's just something inherently flawed in a game where actually PLAYING provides NO benefits over those who simply log in once a day to change their current skill and log back out.

Pretty much ALL Pay to Play MMORPG's have equivalent communities.  The onlly real difference is size.  Given that I'm assuming all MMORPG's have equivalent communities that means they probably all have the same percentage of immature/annoying players.  The bigger the population is the larger the number of people is that make up that percentage.

So bigger MMO's will tend to seem more immature... even though they really aren't.  They just have a lot more total immature players since they have a much higher total population.

Thank you for proving my point   See we do have our fair share of immature players.  We're just a bit smaller than some of the other titles so you don't see them as often.

Im going to have to wholeheartedly disagree with you there. Different games will always attract different mentalities.

In the entire time I played WOW, I met one, count them, one player that seemed mature. I bounced from server to server, from Horde to Alliance and I still only found that one person. Granted, Im sure there are more out there, and I probably passed by some that simply didnt speak out. But its still disturbing that I couldnt find them.

Then I go back to AO, and the opposite is nearly in effect, its not too hard to find the immature players, but they dont say much because they tend to be ostracized by the majority.

I would say, out of all the MMO's I've played, Final Fantasy XI would have to be the most mature.
Even though I played the game when I was 14(through to 15), I considermyself to be a very mature person, and most of the players I met, did not beleive my age. Although we still got the occasional Immature player, they were highly out-numbered by mature players, so they didn't really talk much, and most of them quit the game.

I think it was the Battle System and Quest system that made the FFXI players so mature, the game isn't a fast paces grind quest, it's a slow-paced quest-based game, mixed with a bit of grind, but for all the good reasons, the game wasn't just "grind, grind, grind" it was more "grind a bit, do a quest, look for the key in the mines, kill the orcs on the way and hopefully hit a lvl, head to the town to give the guy his key so I can use the airship, go mining for money...grind some more..chat with the Linkshell, do a qust (some quests in FFXI take hours)"

so yeah, I wish I still had FFXI for that community..but I fear the game is a bit too popular now..and probably not as fun..

IMX, the Eve community is identical to barrens chat.

The free trial island is... well, a free trial island.  Which means it does get (relatively) flooded with kiddies.  Even so I find the trial island more mature than most MMO's main sections and the mainland itself is much more mature.
