people arent very friendly. I asked someone if i could join his guild and he got pissed at me. then i asked this girl if she wanted to be my friend and she said "i'll thnk about it"...kinda makes me sad, i was hoping for a friendly enviroment.
As with any society, you are gonna get mean people and nice ones. More than likely you just had a run of bad luck, running into the bad crowd. Rest assured there are plenty of nice people in the game too :)
I'll be your friend :)
I asked someone at my level the other day where he got his robe (Liandra's Oracle Robe. I've since figured out how to get it on my own). I asked him via tell, and was as polite as I could possibly be. He was just an *** about it, and told me that it was far too difficult for me, so I should just stop worrying about it.
Then playing with my shaman in Oakmyst the other day, I saw a Crusader (2 levels above me) fighting Great Bears. Since I needed them too, I asked if he'd like to team up. He told me he could solo them just fine, and to leech off of someone else.
Geez.

So you just walked up to someone and asked to be friends?
You're creepy:)
You're creepy:)
I just put people I like on my friends list. And say /hi when I see them log on.
I'm sure they think I'm weird, and so I am... but.... ^_^; god I'm just the happiest lil Inquisitor you'll ever meet eh?

I've definitely noticed the lack of help in EQ2 from EQ1. I dont know why its going on but its bothering a lot of people. Anytime I see someone /OOCing for help, if I know the answer I always reply. My guildies do the same thing. We remember being new(what, like 2 weeks ago?)and how somethings eluded us. Passing on the info isnt too hard.
Grouping with strangers I kind of understand the hesitancy. It doesnt make it right, but it is understandable. Since EQ2 put in the new death debt that must be shared by all group members, if you get a stranger in the group and they prove to not know what theyre doing, they put the entire group at risk. Personally, I would rather meet new people and have friends online then worry about my debt too much, but I am guessing many people are hesitant to trust people they dont know.
If people are not helping you with info on quests, shame on them. Theres no reason not to explain where they got an item. One day it may be you saving that guys life in a group and I hope he remembers he was a creep to you. Best thing though, is to go to the quest area here at Allas, and look at all the quests to do. Some drop off really decent items and upgrades for all classes. And then, next time someone comes to you and asks where you got that amazing weapon, you can pass on the info and help someone out.

so far I haven't bumped into any attitude like this... but I can see it happening.. since MMO's are played by real people you get a microcosm of the real world, and unfortunately some people are just not cool.
add in the fact that it's online, they're pretty much anonymous, and will face no real repercussions for their actions..
well you see where this is going.
regardless I try to be nice and give people a chance and explain what little I know to those who ask me. Though I must admit I'm not quite as nice as Ivven to the jerks of the world. ^_~

i've got 2 toons on IoR just so i can log on and help newbies. met a nice kid last night that came from one of those "other" games, and he had intelligent questions, and i answered them, and it was all good :).
i usually have a second computer running while i'm playing, and if i see someone ask something that no one seems to be able to answer, i look it up.
i've run into silly people as well, but i generally just ignore them or move on. or, if i'm punchy... i'll toy with their minds :). a chanter's gotta put the skills to use once in awhile :).
in short, the nice people are there, and if y'all ever see me on, and need help... just ask... but ask nicely :).

I too have noticed alot of negative people out there. I was in the CL the other day and someone was asking where the Message runner was(roaming NPC) and if anyone had passed by him. Someone told him to STFU and said they'd report him for spamming-seriously I only saw him ask twice to 3 times...I don't consider asking a question about something like that spamming-esp. because he only asked a couple of times, and wasnt rude or demanding about it. This is a massive multi-player world where helping and grouping is a part of the game am I wrong about that? When I had my necro-people actualy said they didnt want summoners because they were usless, which is why I deleted her and made a scout. :( I didn't think I was usless, I could solo pretty well and is what I did 90% of the time, not by choice. I got to lvl 22, before I said forget it!
Anyways yeah-I think people need to lighten up a bit and help out-we are all new to this game, and remember that some people are just starting out and really need the help...kindness doesnt hurt anyone.
There are some annoying people on the game as well-instead of ******** and causing even more problems-I think people should just try to ignor and go about their business. Is it really worth argueing with a silly person when you could be playing and having fun...if I see something someone wrote that I dont care for..np...I just scroll past it..not a big deal-I am not gunna get upset over something so insignificant...same with people's names and whatnot-it just doesn't matter...I have other stuff to worry about...in my RL. Know what I mean? Does this many people argue and start stuff in RL with people like they do in the game? And as much?
When I play a game I just want to have fun, and I find that it is hard to meet some nice people, dont get me wrong I have a few freinds I have met here, but overall feel to me..is that most people are unfreindly...which is sad cause this is a great game :) And I enjoy playing it very much.

I think you wont ask a "HOT" girl in the Mall "Can I be your friend?" will you?
and about guild joining, try group with ppls whos guilded. show them how well you played and ask them if you can join their guild.
you even need to show your resume when you apply a job, its the similar thing in the game tho.

I'm a bit on both sides of this coin. I am totally for being pleasant and nice and kind and helpful to everyone possible. I have a bad habbit of actually sending people tells, and I bet thats my main problem. It tends to open up a can of worms. They tend to get clingy and weird. But hey, were all here to have fun right? Just try to be nice to people... And remember the golden rule. I try to offer people help that I was offered and then some. It really can't hurt, they will remember you, people will invite you to group, and help you down the road. Karma is a double edged sword. =)
