Hon and DOTA were nothing compared to the sandbox communities of Mortal Online and Darkfall Online in terms of viciousness. League of legends didn't really have a functioning community since it was so large; discussion was either impossible, or involved a lot of +1s.

The planetside type of community is new to me... Attempting intelligent discussion but failing(for the most part). I find it infuriating.

So...should we interpret your continued presence as you saying you're a sucker for punishment? lol

Yes, other types of discussion are so much more interesting.

Fair enough; I can appreciate that.

I experienced several communities, and I can tell PSU might be one of the best. Every kind of people here are involved in the game, we can see big a number of different minds, and we even have the chance to see some devs weighing in. Including the fact that it's not an official forum, when I know that on other official forums, having a dev reply is a miracle, I have to say PSU looks quite unique sometimes. (and I'm talking about psucom_feed on twitter).

Ahh fuck, just woke up and read invite e-mails went out. I checked my e-mail and I saw a mail with: Another FOCUSED TESTING T...

Turns out it was a alpha for another game.

Damn...

Oh well, good to know that some EU people were let in. Mayyyybe I get an invite later on since there are going to be more sent out. Otherwise I will wait for the CB.

But J_smedley saying:

We will be conducting a separate EU tech test soon. I don't have specifics yet. Please be patient about this.

Means we also get to play in the tech test so it won't be to long I suppose

The best community I have seen has been in Final fantasy 11, though I didn't really like the game. Anarchy Online also has a fantastic community from what I have seen of it.

i'm wondering to which you are comparing...

i have seen sooooooo many communities that are worse.... take most official forums for mmo's, games like BF3 and COD....

This is a really mild forum compared to most.... and i'm a forum rat and have been member of over 1000 forums so far...

EVILoHOMER · 2012-07-15, 09:35 AM

erm guys I was joking.... just got really drunk and pissed off at people moaning all the time.

Crator · 2012-07-15, 09:37 AM

^^^ LOL, we need to start a "Drunk Poster Offender" list....

I do want to be able to play US servers though because of when I work I play mostly at night. Also being from the UK I hate how every EU server seems to get taken over by a different language, so I normally just roll US servers and I'm ok playing with a 130 ping.

WTF... if my ping is higher than 80 I blacklist the server.

Dagron · 2012-07-15, 10:11 AM

People who live in the US are used to having great ping, but anything around 150 is the best i can hope for around here.
