Honestly its the DF fans that do Darkfall the most injustice. If theyre this disrespectful here here, can you imagine how they must be in game?
I don't need to imagine, I know them as the second best mmorpg community that I've personally encountered in many years of playing these games. Never judge a game's playerbase by internet forums posts, very big mistake. You'd think people would know this by now.
That might be because you're all kids. That's what I have encountered throughout Darkfall's chat system and in-game community in general. Most of these kids are not appreciated and will never have the ability to join guilds in other games, but this one is a haven for them. Much like a FPS.
Unbelievable. I'm sure you're looking for some kind of a reaction with a response like that. It's almost the perfect storm of arrogance, condescension and ignorance.
While I don't disagree with your analysis (the guy's post is rather obnoxious).. I can't help but wonder if you've read some of the posts by the pro-DF folks around here over the past months since the game launched, and before? If you dared criticize anything about the game, the outright flaming and condescending "n00b" and "go back to WoW" comments were flying. Funny I never saw (m)any DF people calling the behavior out as "arrogance" or "condescension" in those situations... which it most definitely was. Probably because they were usually too busy riding that bandwagon.
Though it's a common form of hypocrisy for pretty much any MMO... it just seems so amplified with DF for some reason.

That is not the topic of the thread. I said there were a few helpful people that I ran into, but most of them, not so much. I must be the odd man out getting griefed every time I log in. You can call BS all you want, I've been playing for over four months, and I won't put up with it.
The topic at the top says "Terrible in-game Community." How can that not be the topic, when in fact, it says it in big bold white letters. Some people amaze me...

To be fair, this was true of the entire MMORPG.com forums at the time. This place used to be really bad, man. In fact, for quite a while the AoC forums were just as bad if not worse.
The mods (Mike and crew) have done a great job of cleaning this place up, IMO.
So when you read a book, I guess all you do is read the title right?

Guys this is old, we have already established that there are many idiots in this game. I've already stated that I decided to give the game another try, and I plan on playing the sub out. If I enjoy myself like I am now, ganks/griefs and all, I'll resub. Otherwise, Ryzom or Fallen Earth are on the horizon.
Not that it would make me ragequit, but i have to admit, atleast on EU the vocal community on the race-chat is damn awful immature foulmouthed kids, i've never seen as horrid behavior in an MMO, even the crying carebear kids in WoW were more mature (always played on a PVP server).
There are few exceptions, but REALLY rare.
Not only terrible, just hands down fucking awful community.
What would do DFO public chat channels miracles, are the GM's from Fallen Earth!
I've been playing for a week, and I just feel like this game is too pvp-centric for my taste. For those of you who enjoy it, I hope the game flourishes for you and continues to grow.
As for me, I think I've realized that I like the roleplaying and PVE/crafting type MMORPGS. I think I've also realized that I just can't handle the whole FFA aspect of this game, because I just don't have the time to sit down for 2-4 hours a day plugging away at mobs.

Good luck Darkfall players, may the game prosper
Thanks, and I too hope this game flourishes and grows as I havn't been able to play anything else for months now.
Also, I just wanted to say that it's pleasantly refreshing to see someone withdraw from a game without the usual song and dance routine so commonly found on these forums. It's nice to see some people still have some class. Good luck with finding a new game and finding one quickly.

Good luck to ya, man. Sometimes you just don't know until you try, and to your credit you certainly put an honest effort forth.

There's no doubt that a lot of pro-DF responses have been arrogant and condescending. I think both sides get overly passionate in their responses. I also think both sides tend to make retarded blanket statements about the other side far too often. This isn't only true for DF, but for most MMO forums. WoW's official forums turned into cesspools.

Good luck in your next MMO. Both FE and Ryzom are great games. I still think Ryzom has the most "alive" feeling world out of the MMOs I've played.
