Anyone else notice this?

[staz]

It's just a little quirm I have with a lot of the planetside beta players but I've noticed it a lot as I'm one of those ubah forum lurkers. People keep using everquest terms in reference to planetside. Like dueling people, corpse looting, and a lot of other eq terms I can't recall off the top of my head. After playing so many FPS in my time it drives me nuts.

Anyone else feel this way or am i just being oversensitive? I feel like when this game first comes out there will be tons of former Everquest players shouting, "How do you push the attack button and hit things!?".

Probabaly cause theres a lot of EQ players.

Nope I don't think so... And if they do, they won't stick around after the serious FPS people kick their butt over and over again. :)

Deep down inside I sort of want them to stay. I would enjoy being on top of the fps food chain.

I don't see it at all, cause ya can't duel (well... it'd be tough), and corpse looting isn't specific to eq. But maybe I'm in denial because I don't want eq fans discover planetside. I've met too many annoying EQ fanboys.

The VS is obviously the most "fantasy" like empire, maybe EQ players like that..

I haven't noticed too much of a term leakage, but on a side note, I've learned a new term.

Legos - what you call the little blocks that represent 1 tenth of a battle rank.

I despise it when people say "What's the hack ETA?" Listen carefully...

E T A = Expected Time of Arrival

Hacks do not move. Therefor, they wouldn't be able to arrive anywhere. Learn the military terms so you can use the correctly!

Funny...

I played Everquest for 3 years, yet I'm very good at first person shooters. Please tell me when school is in session, because I can teach you a lesson.

Actually ETA can be used in this situation. The hack takes 15 mins, so technically, the hack only ARRIVES (aka, gets there, happens.. ) at the end of the 15 mins..

[Squeeky]

ETA is used in the wrong context here but i still say it http://staff.planetside-universe.com/squeeky/Smilies/shrug.gif
