What the heck is wrong with some of you?
Every turwinkle post on our forums, along with many positive posts concerning the server community immediately get down-voted by at last half a dozen dirtbags who seem to only come here to troll.
There is a simple and resounding problem within our community, elitist attitudes pertaining to players, roleplay and all around behavior. The truly sickening thing is that this community used to detest these attitudes and behaviors, many still do and have either gone inactive, left our community or simply accepted that its inevitable. If you stand by and just watch as new players on our server are shunned for not understanding how things work in roleplay or in the community then congratulations, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Want to know why our population has dwindled, why so many good guilds and outstanding players have jumped ship or left the game? For many its the bullcrap of having crap talked to them for trying to be outgoing. Ignoring or treating players badly simply based on their inexperience or that you don't like them personally is a crappy way to exist and it sets a destructive precedent. The more players that are driven away the smaller and more polluted the minds of many become, people start blaming the game or the server for the problems instead of looking in the mirror
I applaud individuals like turwinkle who stay positive no matter the amount of warrant less criticism thrown his way. There are some here who still have the gut passion and determination to reverse this trend, and to any who would do good by this community you have the full and unwavering support of myself, DV and any resources I have access to. For those who have the intestinal fortitude to fight for what this community was and can be again, keep pushing forward, you are not alone in this fight.
Its time for a gut check, if you are not actively encouraging and helping new and old players alike, supporting current and new events or are closed minded to new ideas, its time to look in the mirror and do some soul searching.
