Yeah, not sure what the hell crawled up Neofox's ass between when he left and when he came back, but it's fun to watch. Nothing against you there, Neofox, but boy, you're definitely painting a target on yourself.

Who are you people and what are you doing on my board?
And MMOs rock, provided you have fun. If you don't, then they're not for you, but that doesn't make them suck.
My opinion also replaces all of yours and are right by default. Now get off my lawn.
Edit:] PVP is mehhhhh. See the sentence before the las of the main content.
Edit 2:] Yes, I posted. Now bite me. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

Without PvP you might as well be playing one of those graphical text chats.
I'm failing to see how that could possibly be construed as a bad thing. Not everyone plays an MMO for the game itself. That whole "social aspect" thing is a big deal, but seeing as inept as you are at it, I could understand how the concept would slip through your fingers.
You've got the overtones of someone who enjoys camping people. It's their 15 bucks (or however much) a month; let them spend it how they want to spend it, which includes not being harassed by some killjoy idiot who's had a bad day or someone who gets his rocks off by being a complete dickwad. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

You're talking about fucking SHOOTERS. Shooters are not MMOs, you're a fucking idiot. Just like the other guy. Why all of you who obviously have NO interest in this shit keep coming in here and spewing your vitriols stupidity around I have no idea...and fine, if you want to play a game where you walk around with a user avatar and talk to people, go for it, more power to you...I guess I can actually do THAT in real life... _________________ <-Tri/_p

You apparently know dick-all about MMOs if "camping" equates to "shooters."
You must be new here.
Not all of us are as you are; a gamer newbie. I, and the rest of your friendly internet-goers, will affectionately refer to you as a "noob" from here on out. You may feel that it is in a condescending manner, and you would be correct; I applaud your astute observations in this matter.
Because you are obviously a retard when it comes to social etiquette, I will break down your posts here:

I don't know how many of you play/care about PvP in games...but for whoever may be interested this is 'supposed' to be even better then UO first three years or so. X fingers/Hope/pray to God.
This was a good starting point. Nothing overly harsh, tosing out a bit of info. Good boy.

As someone who knows so much about MMORPGs and obviously loves them you are well qualified to comment. Thank you.
You are slowly grasping the concept of sarcasm. Every forum poster needs a small quantity of this to stay afloat in these treacherous waters. It was uncalled for, but every noob makes mistakes.
The next few aren't worth quoting.

If you didn't bother to look on the site AND don't like MMO's....but I'm at work and there for bored: You see, this MMO is going to harken back to the days of the first three or so years of UO (That's Ultima Online) which was the first MMO that had a large population base and was a very open system. People had protection in towns and that's it. When you left town you either protected yourself or had friends/hired people/whatever to protect you. In other words it was much more 'real' then 99% of the games out now. Unfortunetly the majority of people are carebears who can't handle having OTHER PEOPLE RUIN THEIR MMO...sigh...ok, now i'm too depressed..anyway this game is being built along these lines, full pvp/loot/no protection but your own/friends outside of towns..it's also come up with a God system that could be interesting (Actually that should be a lower case g there since there are many gods in this...) Anyway, if you really care you'd read the damn website/forum ...I suppose I do this for those whom may actually read this thread with interest.
Aaaaaand..... a fucking wall of text. Bad. BAD BAD BAD. You were aiming for the lofty heights of intelligence and undershot. Or missed.
Considering the content of said text-wall, I'm gonna go ahead and judge this a brick. Whining and crying about someone whining and crying (read:your comment about "Carebears") invalidates your entire post. Good day.
But wait! There's more!

Weak. I responded to the one after that. Next.

Nowhere in my previous post did anything resembling the word "shooters" appear, nor did any word that could have possibly linked the word "shooter" and "MMO." You're either seeing things, or those drugs are reaaaal good. And yes, they are out to get you. It's all a conspiracy, man. We have no interest in any of this; we're here to harass you and your gaming choices
I'm still trying to figure out why you flipped in the first place. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

Yeah. Because the term camping in MMOs is stupid. It's an ambush. Get over it.
I will speak in small words and type slowly so you can understand me.
You are stupid.
The word's been accepted and is understood by millions (literally.) Just because you take a stand against something this inane does not mean you are educated nor will it make you a martyr.
Edit:] Hell, because I know it's beyond your capability, I'll do magic and copy/paste the text I was referring to here.
The Great All Knowing (Sometimes) Wikipedia wrote:
In some MMORPGS which have PVP (Player-versus-player) elements (such as Diablo II and World of Warcraft), "corpse camping" is used to refer to a player repeatedly waiting near the corpse of a player they have killed, in order to attack them again after they respawn near their corpse. This is usually considered a dishonorable practice.
Get over it. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

First of all I wasn't talking about you, though now that you've gone off on a tagent like a fucking child I'm gonna have to add you to the list. I may live in Ohio but at least I don't act like a fucking woman.
Camping, the term originated in shooters. And wow, you went back and edited all that in? Glad you got a good think going there pal. /end _________________ <-Tri/_p
*e-sigh* ...Ohio guy, the jibe at your state was a joke...I thought it was obvious, but is text and all so fair is fair.
...as to my reply to the idiot above; The term camping was coined (As far back as I am aware) in shooters. When he said camping thus, especially in that I take about 0 seconds to formulate my witty replies, was that he was talking about shooters...since camping in an MMO relates to ambushing people in an area and that in my mind this was not 'dishonorable' thing to do. Now, corpse camping never even entered my head as 1.) It was not called this in UO. 2.) I never played the other shitty MMOs for more then a week and a half, and 3.) If this was talked about at all it would have just setteled under the term, 'griefing'. And yes, it was an evil thing to do, and yes, I have done it to deserving individuals. I hope this clears up this AWESOME 'debate' we have all been having here.
And yes, I believe my reply was quite intelligent compared to the other gentleperson. Also...i've never liked the term noob used by anyone and I hate bullies.

So, essentially, you don't think when you post your replies; you just shoot from the hip and then attempt to (poorly) defend your half-assed statements.
Got it. You get lumped under the "useless in a conversation" column.
It's not /end: for you it'd be /wrists, which, since you're not hip to all the new MMO lingo, would be slash wrists! Hurr hurr!
