And the Hype comments on the Warhammer board seem to have been pretty well behaved for once.
Double GG
how cute and people say the AoC will have mature players.
doesnt really matter where its located on the hype meter imo, many players are going to play just based on what they've seen and heard about the game

Currently Waiting For: Nothing, found my addiction for awhile
Currently Playing: Warhammer Online - Oblivion, Warrior Priest, Averheim; Team Fortress 2
I do agree it doen't really matter about the position on the hype meter. Most of the fan base is already so strong i dont think it matters. Just cant wait for release
I've seen a couple threads lately on the official AoC forums telling people to come here and "Hype WAR at 1 and AoC at 10 so we can be on top!".
Stupid nonsense like that proves that there's no maturity in AoC's community, anymore than any other game.
Which to say, now that so many people are into MMO gaming, there's pretty much no chance of there ever being another "mature" community for a game.
wow for like 10 mins then it went back to WAR ownt :P
Playing: Everthing
Played: DAoC,AC2,EvE,SWG,WAR,MXO,CoX,EQ2,L2,LOTRO,SB,UO,WoW.

SHOW ME????? NOTICE all the Warhammer people comming here and Trolling?
Somebody was saying something about AOC's Matureity level??? Is this an example of Warhammers ?? Case Dismissed!
Not trying to hate here, I think AoC will be an AMAZING game....but Vanguard used to be on the top hyped list.
Total time played: 9125 Days, 21 Hours, 29 Minutes, 27 Seconds
Time played this level: 39 Days, 1 Hour, 24 Minutes, 5 Seconds

I'm going to have to disagree with you for multiple reasons:
A.) I have met hundreds, possibly thousands, of individuals following this game who have maintained a mature and reasonable attitude over the official community forums.
B.) The presence of a few bad apples is hardly an indication the whole bushel has gone rotten, particularly since I've found immature players/community members to be to loudest attention seekers of all. This site and its forums are FAR from the best place to go to assess the maturity and attitude of any target online community.
C.) Funcom had no trouble whatsoever establishing and continuing to maintain a mature community in AO, there is as of yet no reason to believe they won't be able to repeat the performance.
D.) Even if the AoC community is significantly more immature on the whole than I believe it will be, the more stringint rules on the RP servers are bound to cut a significant portion of the tomfoolery down, allowing for the players themselves to do the rest.

You're quick to judge. Just because my avatar is from WaR you believe I'm a fanatical fanboy? I've seen this exact same post on the WaR forums. People who post these kinds of threads just do it to aggravate the other.
lol, and RFonline too

Haha what a lie...
Show me one post of that tard----
Well just like any game where going to get 8 year olds no matter what because there parents just will not care so its not going to be any different from any other rpg with dealing with that.....
OH NOES RATIONAL THOUGHT! *hiss*
Apparently too much for these boards.
I don't ever post on the forums, but this thread just demanded that course of action. I don't see why all of you care so much about which game will have more maturity or which will better. It's a GAME, you're supposed to escape from reality and have fun by playing it. That means that even adults, YES ADULTS, can be immature should it please them. Do you really think the M rating is stopping "immature" teenagers from playing? I'm 15, I'll be playing at release and from what I've read and seen so far, I'm a LOT more mature than all of you here. Or maybe it's just that all the mature players have been doing the mature thing and chosen not to enter this meaningless brawl. Have fun arguing whether WAR or AoC will be better, but in a few years you'll all be sick of both those games and move on to the next big thing.

Indeed.
Too many chickens running around without any heads...

Wow, I saw my post quoted at least three times. Since you were the only person with some sense responding to it ---
A+B.) I'm not saying everyone following the game is immature or unreasonable, and you are right, it's the clowns that stir up the most attention. I've seen some good posters on the official forums, I'll agree.
I don't judge anything by the mmorpg.com forums, as they are nothing but trolling and fanboy-ism. As can be seen by the responses to my post...(not yours Aelfinn)
I'm just pointing out that everyone calling "maturity" is wasting their breath, it will be no different than any other game --- people seem to love pointing out the "M" rating like it somehow sets the AoC fanbase above every other.
C+D.) Well, I never really found my way into AO, so let's hope they can manage to keep that record up.
I'm not familiar with how they will handle RP servers, are you commenting on the way they handled it in AO? I've yet to play a game where they actually have staff enforcement on an RP server... it's pretty much up to the community to deal with it in most cases.
As far as AO, AO managed to come in before the massive swarm of morons swept the MMO market. AO was a fairly early entry into the MMO market... back in those days there was a limited amount of people actually playing, and it was mostly more literate, less ignorant folks. So, AO's maturity may have just been a blessing of the times.
---Basically, my overall point was, that true "mature" communities don't exist anymore, regardless of what game/setting/rating. It's a thing of the past, sadly. I think you can agree that the general community in the MMO market as a whole has gone downhill.
Regardless, I plan to play AoC. I just think it's silly for people to go into it expecting some major change from other games. Maybe you are right and it will draw more mature people than some of the other games, but that's not going to change the fact that, as a whole, it will still likely be far outnumbered by the bad apples.
So long as it's not as bad as WoW's community(which so far, it seems much better than), I'm happy.
