| [The anti-social tendencies I've also noticed. No one specific, and not any single player as far as I can tell. It is difficult to be an outsider these days, more than I remember anyway; the bad reactions have ranged from simple snobbery to mild hostility both in character and out. It might just be my imagination, but it seems like such incidents are increasing as well, which I find frustrating since it tends to rain on a person's evening. Mostly I just find it sad when the anti-social stuff becomes the norm in a predominantly social environment: it sure does kill the joy.]...i have been playing for quite a while, since 2003, and i too have noticed the trend to isolate and avoid Noobs, but then again, i am one of the few, or maybe the only one whose characters have actually been killed and for the most part, never come back..so i find myself always starting new characters..THUNDERBLADE WARHAMMER, NECRIPHIM, GHAELEN HAMMERFROST, OSGOLOTH, ISHGROLLOTH_GHAAUUL, CAMEROTH, FHARVAREAN, LYGER RAIYNE, those are just a few and at least four of those mentioned have died..i know everyone gets attached to thier character, especially if u have used the same one for more than a few years without ever making a new one, and that may or may not be the problem. maintaining a character for a very long time allows room for *settling,* which in turn may or may not cause you to inadvertently develope a isolationist attitude. how are we to get new blood and new players on board in isrp if they are ignored from the start?..we wont. just me noticing things i suppose, hope no one takes it personally..thanks |
