I don't really care what MMO it is, what theme it is, how grindy it is, I just want to play with people!

I'm just looking for some good-hearted down to earth people to play an mmo with. 

 

I have played a few mmo's in the past 2 years, hit level cap, and guild hopped until disappointment. It seems I have bad luck finding guilds with decent people. The last few guilds I was in just didn't care about the social aspect of an MMO, it was like they were all lone wolves looking to use other to get the gear they wanted. And the overall sarcastic, whining, complaining, raging attitudes has gotten really annoying.

 

Is there a [mature, social, helpful, but somewhat determined to see content] guild out there, that could use 1 more?

Doesn't even have to be a guild, maybe just a group of people. 

I love PVP

I like PVE with the right people.

    If you're looking for mature, social and helpful, and someone invites you, I would suggest clicking on their name and scanning their past posts to get an idea of if they qualify.

    'Sandbox MMO' is a PTSD trigger word for anyone who has the experience to know that anonymous players invariably use a 'sandbox' in the same manner a housecat does.


    When your head is stuck in the sand, your ass becomes the only recognizable part of you.


    No game is more fun than the one you can't play, and no game is more boring than one which you've become familiar.

    The top commercial games also attracts a lot of young people. Now, I've met a lot of younglings online who are actually behaving but in some games there's a certain culture attached as a result of a lot of average player age. I'll take World of Warcraft as an example. On certain large servers the chats really aren't nice - the average age of the players are apparent, but then again on some other servers with a long history you can really notice that it's a more chill place to be.

    I'd say that generally you should try to play with friends or keep a close circle. And for general maturity in games you should probably look at some of the more traditional gaming communities.

    Games with roleplay communities tend to have a much more mature audience, try getting into an RP group.

    You love PvP and "I'm just looking for some good-hearted down to earth people to play an mmo with."

     

    Good luck with that. PvP attracts the worst kind of trolling and even the best people will get annoyed if you continually lose due to unskilled play or whatever else. Simply comes with the territory.

    This is true in my expierence. Most RPers are cool folks (sans the dreaded RPolice who RP at you, not with you and freak out over minor lore violations).  LoTRO has a nice community overall if you stick to the RP servers. Then again a lot of other games do. There are a lot of mentally mature guilds out there across multiple games. I suggest finding a game you like and looking at the forums, maybe make a post...

    We got older and play different games now because we don't have much time for MMOs anymore XD

    Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?

    Welcome to the new generation of mmo player. What your asking for i haven't seen since 2000. Kind of why most mmo suck today. Its not the game but the people in them.  But you do have to blame the raid/gear thing too. Everyone seems so me me me now because of it. Its why most of these people join guilds. Its not about being social they want gear and fight for spots in guilds. Guild chat is so ugly in mmo's now.

    Didn't have this issue in DAoC.

    Didn't really have this issue in WAR either.

    I guess it's no longer amazing to play video games with 1000+ other people. :|

    Maturity and age are two different things.  In my experience, most of the people acting like bratty twelve year olds are actually in their 20s and 30s.  Those who are actually young on the other hand often act extra well mannered because they don't want to be perceived as kids.

    This is true to such an extent that most of the people on RP servers aren't even there because they are interested in RP, they are just there because the perception exists that the jerks and morons are more scarce on those servers.

    I would argue that it was never amazing to game with 1000+ other people, it was just occasionally amazing to game with somewhere between a handful and a couple dozen people in a world that happen to include 1000+ other people.

    Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
    Through passion, I gain strength.
    Through strength, I gain power.
    Through power, I gain victory.
    Through victory, my chains are broken.
    The Force shall free me.
