I can only speak for the Human, Dwarf, Elf alliance chat on EU server.
I see people constantly helping noobs and explaining to then exactly what they need if they ask. Often when a noob asks a simple question a bunch of people will join in offering other advice, bank often, join a clan, get a mount etc.
There is a lot of trash talking going on too but most of this is aimed at established players who troll the alliance tab and people who have got to know each other. The only time I see a noob get abuse is when they demand attention and start complaining people don't help enough. oh and if they complain about being PKed. Never complain about being PKed.
If you hate Racial Alliance the best advice I can give is to join a clan. You can then never look at it again and just use Trade, Clan and Clan Alliance. If you pick the right clan for you then you wont hear or see anything you feel is wrong.
Its very true especially on the NA server, today we got attacked in our city and a guy named Horseraper tells us in vent when someone asked what the plan was "to s*** on their face. go up to them open there mouths and s*** in them." He was fairly new to the clan. Like 3 days in it. But after I heard that and talked some S*** to him myself I started to wonder why i even play in the first place since it attracts such losers and I can be kind of rude sometimes but at least im educated. At first I resubbed to the game to keep me occupied while I quit smoking weed and it has worked out great. But now i find myself logging in and being BORED as hell and the stupidity coming form these guys is starting to piss me off. Now i feel stupid as hell that ive wasted so much time and im currently looking for a better game to play. And btw im an Alfar and I cant speak about other races but people generally do talk smack to others just because of some nub question.
Yes, this is the norm from what ive seen. You will see no limit to vaginal and penile humor and discussion, along with in depth talks about drug abuse, rape and incest. Its a cold world in there, and you will be called a fag many times... I am still playing but to be honest, at 36 years old it gets a little rough for me at times.
Alright no offense here, but seriously....stop acting like a child.
Words only carry meaning if you give them meaning. I could go around angrily calling people a weeglazoo. It's a ridiculous word that (as far as I now) has absolutely no meaning. I may intend it as an insult, but it's just a word and because no one thinks of it with meaning then it has no meaning.
People who take offense to language are just.....children. And yes, I realize I'm talking about the majority of the adult population. It's plain silly. The only time to should take offense to a person is if they approach you with the clear intent of causing you harm. Getting all puffed up over words is no better than an animal frizzing up when another animal grunts and growls at it. So, do you want to be an animal or a more evolved being?
Grow up people, words are just words. If you really don't like it then, in this instance, go kill the people who are bothering you.
if the people who gets offended by words are children?
what are the people who run around calling people stuff without any reason?
retarded basement-dwelling children who got so few social-skills that even Stalin would think they are beyond redemption?

Might I add also, with honest to god no offense intended as well.. But 'weeglazoo' hasnt been used for years upon years as a deragatory word that _everyone_ knows the meaning too, yet alone curse words which have been used for centuries that have meaning all over the world. A made up word cannot be compared to a word associated with so much hate and bigotry. To ignore words like that, or to pretend they have no meaning degrades those offended by the words more than saying them in the first place.
@op afaik darkfall is rated M and the GM's only do something in harassment cases, same policy apply to the forums there is no censorship/word filter this is one of thing that i love in darkfall

Spot on, i like your philosophy, even though it is hard to achive in reality, but at the end of the day "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" is the basis of what you have written and although what the OP has gone trhough is horrbile, no one plays a game to get that kind of abuse, but the with nature of MMOs (attracting all sorts of people) this happens.
I am rather new to darkfall, been playing 5 days. Haven't registered with a clan yet so I have been flying solo. Have had a few questions, I ask in racial chat, usually no one responds, but a few have sent me tells helping me out. Today, I ask a question and I get the response. Shut the f*** up you fa**ot. Proceed by someone else saying, yeah you f**got. Then both of them just laying into me, needless to say I did not respond because I have no desire to argue with some obviously emotionally disturbed people over the internet. Needless to say I guess my main question is.. Are a lot of people in Darkfall like this? Does adventurine have a policy against such behaviour? Or is it just like the rules in Darkfall, free for all in play, and in words? Not that I am sensitive to being called such things, just figured I would "say something back" but in a /report kinda way. Thanks for the feedback, and as for the probable trolling that will happen, good for you.
If you have questions about the game contact a player named Annu Naki. He is in a clan that is all Alfar and is a very helpfull player. Not all Darkfall players are mean spirited people.
I would of thought people had the insight not to roll Alfar...it is the race of the mouthbreathers
If you want something alittle moreuplifting roll dwarf/elf/ human
ork/mahirim is like midway
Well, I am half tempted to reroll, but I have made my first 1000 gold, and made some weapons. But I guess that is chicken scratch compared to what people usually have.
Also, more importantly, I know the Alfar area around Deep Yishku/Shoal decently enough to run to goblins/kobolds and back.
Maybe I should just reroll dwarf. I just like the look of Alfar, as well as the mounts. We will see.
nah if you like alfar stay alfar, just join a ARAC clan or whatever clan and make the clan chat you primary target for questions and source of information.
Darth's advice is sound.
Don't let some immature punks dictate which race you want to play. There will always be a handful of these types of players in any MMO, even more so in a competitive MMO like DarkFall.
Play the race you want, but try and find a clan that you like and then make that clan chat your primary channel.
As far as reporting that stuff in-game goes... not sure on the policy of that. You could report it and see where it goes I suppose. I wouldn't expect much to come of it though.
my experience through all mmo's I've played and subsequent clans I've been in is that americans players generally seem to be younger and less mature. with lots of exceptions of course (hence the bolded generally).
also alfar is a cool race, and I wish I had rolled alfar myself, but they have no racial allies. so alot less people in trade and race alliance chat. and I think most people who roled alfar are PK's or reds. this is because they have the most racial enemies so can kill most people in the world without losing allignment. so the community your going to get is probably the worst.
I never played UO, but Im sure when it was first released there was a real sense of community and respect between each player.
I'm not sure about UO, but this was how EverQuest was in the beginning. There was a common etiquette that 99% of players followed. People were actually courteous and respectful toward each other.
I know it sounds crazy, and a little outlandish, but it's true. Then the rest of the world (as well as an entire other generation) caught onto the MMO fun and, well, yeah.
You still run into other decent people while gaming, and some games actually remind me of the way things used to be, but it's a different world out there for sure. But really, those people can be real entertaining, so it's okay. Watching them make fools of themselves is a different kind of fun.
As to the OP, sounds like some real winners. I still haven't tried Darkfall, but I am looking forward to it sometime. The more I hear about it, the more it sounds like an interesting adventure. Still, I would do as you're doing. Don't worry about it and play on. Good luck.

Falcon, who the f--- are you? You must be in Grief, since Horseraper Spikecrusher (LMAO), Ogresk, Syllabuns, Tweedle Dum, and some other guy just joined the clan a few days ago. I think it's fairly obvious who I am, lol. I know our city has been getting raided a crap ton the past few days, but it's not usually this bad.

The noob formally not known as not being the formally not unkown known APEist; The Stone Cold Killer of Tarq.
As someone else mentionned, join a Clan. In 90% of the cases, clans are very mature and some has age requirements (18+, 21+). You'll also notice that a nice share of the immature players are actually griefers (kill new players), which says a lot
"I saw this happen(and whispered you about your question lol).
Just ignore the idiots, they were most likely just screwing around so getting too worked up about people who act like that isn't worth it. Just don't get too repetitive in your question and you should be fine(I have yet to have any problem for asking even the dumbest question)."
I will admit I shouldn't have asked for more clarification on wether you can auto-run while not at your computer to up your running skill, but I also was just attempting to chat, because I lack a clan <and yes I am looking into it, my playtime seems to be rather short as of late>. I can understand the annoyance, but that one guy inperticular is always rather annoying.
Though I do appreciate your helpfulness. Even though one of the first days I was around you chased me around and nearly killed me, but I kept in high spirits and just laughed it off, and I ended up seeing you the next day and chatting with you.
But that is just how I am, you can PK me, and I will be cool about it. Maybe even tell you good job. Until you start smack talking, in which I will probably just ignore you.
-As for leveling up my character, finding this guy, and killing him. The skils he seems to show-off every day seem really really high. I beleive he brags about macroing <subtely> People give him crap about spending all that time leveling his skills and he always laughs and said, yeah I didn't spend any of my time leveling my skills, which leads me to beleive he macros. <which seems to be an acceptable norm in Darkfall, me myself, I rather do everything manually, save getting naked, hitting auto run and going afk for a while to come back and see what part of the map I ended up on, which I haven't done and won't do at risk of getting banned, <<which I probably wouldn't, but still>>
Either way, I appreciate the responses. Good to see there is a "hidden" decent community out there.
Ebon Night is my character in game, so if you feel like helping, wanting to hunt, or looking for a good clanmate, look me up!
If you find my post annoying and want to kill me, then track me down and do so!
Catch ya on the flip side.
<Edit> The words said by this guy really did not offend me, make me sad, nor angry in any way. I guess it was more of a shock factor to get replied in such a way. And I guess was more curious if it is commonplace, but I beleive I got my answer
I am entitled to my opinions, misspellings, and grammatical errors.
I've played quite a bit of darkfall and while i've run into my share of idiots, it haven't ever been responded to like that, over a question especially. I've heard that alfar race chat is pretty bad though.
I was wondering if it was just Alfar chat. A dark "no friends" race is likely to attract real people that are "mean spirited" and have no friends. Didn't really think about it when I made the character.
The chat is generally bad though. This one person inperticular, which I wont name, is always flooding it with crap. He was the one who actually started the banter of words after I asked some questions.
Guess I will just deal with it, rather than try and reporting it. Just suprised me to be responded to in such a manner, not even "noob" but stright to the words mentioned in my original post.
Its not the norm and you can /ignore player name so you don't have to see their crap. But honestly, no one really uses race alliance chat because everyone is in a clan or alliance. I suggest you join one even though you play solo.
I am rather new to darkfall, been playing 5 days. Haven't registered with a clan yet so I have been flying solo. Have had a few questions, I ask in racial chat, usually no one responds, but a few have sent me tells helping me out. Today, I ask a question and I get the response. Shut the f*** up you fa**ot.

"Hello person posting on a site specifically for MMO's in a thread on a sub forum specifically for a particular game talking about meta features and making comparisons to other titles in the genre, and their meta features.
Lol so if I judge one conversation with 2 people of a game then that would mean, WOW, EVE, AOC, WAR, SWG, AION, DAOC, Planetside, LOTR, DDO, UO, RUNESCAPE All are bad playerbase games amirite?
Oh i had forgotten about attempting to kill you, im pretty inconsistent on when i want to kill people and such(just random stole someone's mount out of nowhere while writing this). Generally the community is more or less above getting too worked up about some combat. i mean im used to competing with or trying to kill someone(or someone trying to kill me) and then getting along with them quite well or at least doing business later.
The funny thing about this is that people assume that these are the geeks and nerds smack talking and being assholes. Wrong. It's the console/FPS kiddies who lack any semblance of intelligence that are causing the problems. You can generally tell just from a few words or actions that these people don't belong in the MMO community and should be wiped off the face of the planet...

I agree. These morons need to go back to playing Call of Duty and Halo on Xbox Live.
Only a few are like that most are nice and decent.
This kind of topics give a false view/immage of what Darkfall community realy is few douchbags most are ok to very ok.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
In another MMO this could be something bad, but in Darkfall you can just look them up and gank them.
Then the next time they try and act tough in racechat you just have to tell them what happend last time, and everypne will be laughing at them. And they will have been 100% disarmed from geek epen feelings.
All valid points, and as to the FPS xbox live people, not all are bad either. That is what I do while I harvest in Darkfall, play xbox.
Last night though, in race chat...
<hehe>..
Someone new asked a question, and immedietly a guy called him a newb f*g or something. Saying his question was stupid and all this dumb stuff. I jumped in defending the guy saying it is a valid question, and I answered it. I beleive someone else chimed in attempting to be helpful, and the guy who was making fun, immedietly shut up.
I am lead to beleive that most of the posts are correct in saying there aren't that many assholes, just more outspoken ones, leading people to beleive there are many assholes.
If you see someone being an asshole to someone when they ask a question, back the guy asking the question! Nothing will shut up an asshole faster than being outnumbered by people telling him to shut up and quit being an asshole.
So if you see someone asking questions in race chat or whatever, and someone is treating them like shit, help the new guy out!

Ebon Night is my character in game, so if you feel like helping, wanting to hunt, or looking for a good clanmate, look me up!
If you find my post annoying and want to kill me, then track me down and do so!
Catch ya on the flip side.
<Edit> The words said by this guy really did not offend me, make me sad, nor angry in any way. I guess it was more of a shock factor to get replied in such a way. And I guess was more curious if it is commonplace, but I beleive I got my answer

I was wondering if it was just Alfar chat. A dark "no friends" race is likely to attract real people that are "mean spirited" and have no friends. Didn't really think about it when I made the character.
The chat is generally bad though. This one person inperticular, which I wont name, is always flooding it with crap. He was the one who actually started the banter of words after I asked some questions.
Guess I will just deal with it, rather than try and reporting it. Just suprised me to be responded to in such a manner, not even "noob" but stright to the words mentioned in my original post.
Its not the norm and you can /ignore player name so you don't have to see their crap. But honestly, no one really uses race alliance chat because everyone is in a clan or alliance. I suggest you join one even though you play solo.

How are you?" -Me
Lol so if I judge one conversation with 2 people of a game then that would mean, WOW, EVE, AOC, WAR, SWG, AION, DAOC, Planetside, LOTR, DDO, UO, RUNESCAPE All are bad playerbase games amirite?

Oh i had forgotten about attempting to kill you, im pretty inconsistent on when i want to kill people and such(just random stole someone's mount out of nowhere while writing this). Generally the community is more or less above getting too worked up about some combat. i mean im used to competing with or trying to kill someone(or someone trying to kill me) and then getting along with them quite well or at least doing business later.
The funny thing about this is that people assume that these are the geeks and nerds smack talking and being assholes. Wrong. It's the console/FPS kiddies who lack any semblance of intelligence that are causing the problems. You can generally tell just from a few words or actions that these people don't belong in the MMO community and should be wiped off the face of the planet...
I agree. These morons need to go back to playing Call of Duty and Halo on Xbox Live.
Only a few are like that most are nice and decent.
This kind of topics give a false view/immage of what Darkfall community realy is few douchbags most are ok to very ok.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
In another MMO this could be something bad, but in Darkfall you can just look them up and gank them.
Then the next time they try and act tough in racechat you just have to tell them what happend last time, and everypne will be laughing at them. And they will have been 100% disarmed from geek epen feelings.
All valid points, and as to the FPS xbox live people, not all are bad either. That is what I do while I harvest in Darkfall, play xbox.
Last night though, in race chat...
<hehe>..
Someone new asked a question, and immedietly a guy called him a newb f*g or something. Saying his question was stupid and all this dumb stuff. I jumped in defending the guy saying it is a valid question, and I answered it. I beleive someone else chimed in attempting to be helpful, and the guy who was making fun, immedietly shut up.
I am lead to beleive that most of the posts are correct in saying there aren't that many assholes, just more outspoken ones, leading people to beleive there are many assholes.
If you see someone being an asshole to someone when they ask a question, back the guy asking the question! Nothing will shut up an asshole faster than being outnumbered by people telling him to shut up and quit being an asshole.
So if you see someone asking questions in race chat or whatever, and someone is treating them like shit, help the new guy out!

The human/dwarf/mirdain chat is nothing like that. People help each other out all the time there.
These forums give a true enough image of what the Darkfall community is REALLY like.

Not even close. But thanks for contributing.
Is your Aion forum boring you? Not sure you were ever destined to play DF if you're all into the asian style. (I know, I know, it's a western "style" gaaaaaaame, lol).
