In your games, did you ever join a guild, or faction? Why?

I play mmos for the social aspect of them so yeah joining a guild is one of my priorities... but most guilds dont take low lvls so you have to lvl up if you want to join any good ones,the ones with mostly low lvls disband really easy as low levels have more of a tendency to leave a guild.

What do you think of roleplayers?
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

In your games, did you ever join a guild, or faction? Why?
I tested a low-end MMO(for CASH) and was required to. My clan was called IBS SURRPISE and I was the scourge of clean undergarment proponents everywhere. I was called the grandmaster of splash damage by some of my cohorts.

Did you ever do anything like a dungeon party? Or another type of group activity? Who did you do this with?
Usually I would go into the game areas and hide in the corner and say generally rude and inconsiderate things to anyone willing to listen. Not necessarily about the other players, but in general. Discussions of the sexual tendencies(and frequency) of the Ukrainian Prime Minister was a common theme for the debates I would have with myself. The logic here is that it would distract them into allowing me an unfair advantage. The key problem here is that most people who play multiplayer games do not have the prerequisite english language comprehension abilities necessary to explore the full scope of the things I was saying. Usually I would find them hovering over my dead body saying LOL WUT? and that's about as much of an advantage I could ever gain.

Were there any types of players you disliked? Why?
The ones that were better than me, which was usually a great number of them. I do not appreciate being bested in any way by people who throw their lives away to play multiplayer online games.

How did you treat players that you disliked?
Much the same as players that I liked; With passionate, unabiding disrespect and insincerity. The only people that you can trust less than those who fail to gain your respect are those who do.

How did you know someone was a 'noob'?
If they were playing this game, I would say that, by default, they were either a "noob" or someone wishing to inflict punishment upon themselves. Unfortunately I am unable to gather much excitement on the topic of discerning between the two.

Was there anyone you avoided in game/were afraid of?
Lithuanians mostly(ghastly people), but it's possible to mask your ethnic origins online, thereby making my guidelines somewhat difficult to follow.

What rules were imposed in this game? (i.e. no griefing, no swearing) Did you stick to these rules? What were the consequences?
Don't make fun of the developers, because they apparently reserved the right to use ethnic slurs freely, and whine about it for quite some time if any of it was directed at them. Because of my outstanding familiarity with the English language, however, I was able to circumvent this in profoundly inventive ways where the developer was unaware that I was having a hard chuckle at their expense. This is quite easy to do when you are playing a game developed by people who are several thousand years behind your own evolutionary cycle.

Were there words or phrases that you used in the game that you wouldn't use with a real conversation partner?
No. My mother is as aware of my distaste for those of the midget persuasion as the players of multiplayer online games I have played with are.

What class of character did you choose? What features of this character appealed to you?
I would usually play as blacks because white people are always afraid of being cannibalized by dark-souled people from the jungle, and I felt that this was a good way to tap into that fear.

Do you characters have different personalities?
Certainly! I always made sure to keep a dumpy, naked white male character handy for whenever I felt like a black cannibalistic character wasn't setting the right mood.

So would you talk in real life as you do in the game?
Do you think that I would not notice you asking the same question twice? I will invent a replacement question and answer it below:

No, I do not wish to ever do that. It is gross and distasteful and I would hate to see you ever ask anybody that question again.

Did you know anyone from both the game world and the real world? How do you think they were different?
I was testing the game and knew quite a few of the testers in real life, so I unfortunately had the displeasure of knowing them digitally and physically. I would equate this to being "double the pain" or something to that effect. The only plus is that you can say things about the questionable nature of their upbringing both online and in person, but that's really where the advantages end.

Did you ever roleplay in these games?
To a point. I would pretend to be Nigerian businessmen with can't miss proposals, and frustrated KGB operatives threatening to shut down the server due to non-compliance with State Security protocol. Unfortunately I could never find anybody willing to roleplay as stupid suburban american housewives willing to throw their social security number at me, or frightened Belarusians fearfully guarding their wooden shacks from the mighty Committee for State Security. Oh well. C'est la vie!

What do you think of roleplayers?
I think the death penalty would be sufficient, but I don't necessary believe anything that formal would be absolutely essential. Line them up in the streets, give them a long beating, and put the survivors to work in the factories for slave wages.

In your games, did you ever join a guild, or faction? Why?
I've joined guilds in every MMO I've played because uh.. well, it's handy to have a bunch of people to call on when you need something.


Did you ever do anything like a dungeon party? Or another type of group activity? Who did you do this with?
I don't know what this is.


Were there any types of players you disliked? Why?
Not really. Even the ones who take the game too seriously are hilarious to have around.


How did you treat players that you disliked?
Same as the ones I like, with strict mocking.


How did you know someone was a 'noob'?
Uh, what? This question is still badly worded. What do I class as a noob? Someone who is new to a game, and lacks the experience to play well. Or someone who has played for a long time and is still unbelievably terrible. Or someone who has played a lot and is really good, and takes it out on others. Or anyone at all.


Was there anyone you avoided in game/were afraid of?
No, except on PVP servers where you avoid/are terrified of everyone.


What rules were imposed in this game? (i.e. no griefing, no swearing) Did you stick to these rules? What were the consequences?
None of these. Most MMOs have a swear filter which I have turned off.


Were there words or phrases that you used in the game that you wouldn't use with a real conversation partner?
Uh, most of them? I guess if you count using the real words in place of acronyms (ie: What the Fuck instead of WTF) then not as many. But yeah, like others have said, I'd never say any game-specific phrases irl. Like GG.


What class of character did you choose? What features of this character appealed to you?
In the olden days I always played priest/cleric, as I like having the power of healing over somebody. But I usually end up defaulting to a tank class, which is what I am best at.


Do you characters have different personalities?
No, they all just have my personality.


So would you talk in real life as you do in the game?
What the hell? I just answered this.


Did you know anyone from both the game world and the real world? How do you think they were different?
I've known a few people IRL who've played WoW, and apart from firing less firebolts out of their fingertips irl they are pretty much the same. I met my current gf on TF2 and apart from acting much more shy and quiet irl she is the same.


Did you ever roleplay in these games?
I used to more when I was younger. It's fun being immersed in a game. Unfortunately as you grow older and more cynical, you notice how ridiculous the concept is. However, I still enjoy playing on RP servers, as they are usually full of people who take the game too seriously (read: are fun to mess with).


What do you think of roleplayers?
Misguided, I guess. But hey, they are having fun playing the game they want to, so meh.
