AV has set the tone with griefers by banning HOGG. Within only six days and two HOGG videos they have been removed from the server. I have also seen players suspended for racial slurs in Global Chat. They have totally changed the way they conduct business compared to DF1 and it allows me to purchase my copy and begin my PVE adventure.

I know people will get mad, but I have to thumbs up.. People think that because you can PvP in Darkfall that it has to be an extension to their reddit and adventures on 4chan..
Not sure what the videos showed about griefing, but the chat thing.. remove the filth..
Although to be fair and honest, as a PvE game, Darkfall is VERY lackluster...

I enjoy the PVE in Darkfall far more than any MMO I've played. Very skyrimish.
..
I really believe there aren't many. If AV continues this zero tolerance policy, only good things can come of it. Before this re-launch, there was a different mindset, but not any more.
I really got the impression that he dressed himself up with clown makeup when he wasn't griefing. Likely in a cult of some sort that he would rather call 'family'. Liked really bad music...
And folks wonder why so many players despise ffa pvp games... these are the kind of players it attracts. Griefing for the sake of griefing.
Tabletop RPG gaming since Chainmail and D&D was a blue book with some cheap plastic dice and a crayon. MMORPGing since MOOS/MUDS, when forums were just bulletin boards and players actually roleplayed their characters.
Pretty flawed logic considering he was operating entirely in the safe zone portion of the game. There's tons of people who do this kind of stuff in WoW.
Have faith this is likely the best thing going on in his life.

This video was the final straw for AV.

Why do you think People will get mad? Watched the Video mmoluva posted:

Appears to me that this Hogg dude deserved to be banned. What am I missing?
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
Yeah, and there's a good pvp reason for it. You don't want to be locked in if someone attacks you so you automatically break from your task so you can fight/run. I suppose they could add a safe zone option to not have it happen, but banning someone who would grief so blatantly seems a better way to handle it to me. I just hope they keep it up.

lol.. This guy is a moron.. Who would go through all of that? Talking like he's a Psychiatrist...
A whole guild for stupid stuff like this? lol, wow.. #TheresNoHopeforMankind ?Griefing.. Is that keep killing a person or?
If so, pretty bad they ban you for that in a PvP game.
"We ban you for PvP"
Because people like this guy, think that this is a "feature" of this game.. They think it's built on douchebaggery, they think this guy was "just doing what needed to be done", and most of all they think THIS is why Darkfall is "hardcore" so I'm sure once they wake from their self -induced stupor, that they will be here in droves defending this scumbag with:
"GO BACK TO WOW"
"PLAY HELLO KITTY INSTEAD"
etc..
I wonder if that guy is really serious. "Let's talk like cowboys from a Marlboro commercial cause it makes us so manly."
Not saying what he does isn't disgusting - whether he is serious or not.
My point is if his whole life is really about making the lives of others on a game miserable... then I actually feel pity for this guy.

I dont think this is true unless of course they are not updating the BanHammer website..

Exactly! That Hogg guy sounds like a low IQ gang banger reject whose daddy left home when he was a baby and mommy didn't love him enough. Notice his vocabulary? It's so basic his embarrassing himself and he doesn’t even realise it! He sounds like a 16 year old that spent most his life skipping school to hang on the street.
He's a very bitter person that has no respect for anything. Notice how he keeps trying to refer to other players as stupid people far below him? This guy and others like him have a personality disorder and insecurity issues. What else would make a person go into an online world and think a whole public area in save zone belongs to them, and all in it below them? He's a product of a broken home, and the gangster rap culture being sold to youths and glorified. All you should do with loser grief clan like this is pity them. I bet if there was a picture about of this Hogg guy making the videos he'd be the typical overweight ugly looking loser.
It was a temporary ban.

The above statement appeared inside of my launcher today.
Our latest and last video was uploaded to our youtube today for those that would like to view.
Goodbye to all of our Darkfall friends!
