whats with this obsession with calling people either retards ,roleplayer, adder,zerger, or leet. Is the vocablury really that bad in this forum among all people. You dont even have a meaning to what you write 80% do you:p???
Why in donkeykongs anus were you attracted to a fantasy themed game in the first place:p???
Please someone on this forum come up with something new and inventive for once. the imagination on FH is like the patience of a mother chimpanzee of 10^^....none:p
over and out...

I hope the following will answer your question:

"With so many players in the game, individual perceptions of what is ‘fun’ in an
MMORPG will logically vary. While the majority of players get along harmoniously, some players appear to engage instead in play styles that specifically disrupt other players’ gaming experiences. This type of play style is known as ‘grief play’, and grief players are known as ‘griefers’." (C.Y.Foo, E.M.I. Koivisto, paper delivered in International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology ACE 2004, June 3-5, 2004, Singapore)

If they cause displeasure to other players yes. I'm not advocating a side here, it was just a reply on why people call others roleplayers, leet etc, hence I produced something that cover both sides.

edit: The paper goes on to describe about grief play and how it's defined etc, if you want to have a read at the whole document feel free

In a simplistic way, yes. However more things are involved into defining what greifing is. Read the paper, good thing to pass time in work and you'll pick up some things on the way :)

I see albs retake everything in the middle of the night, typical.
Aye, can't have people preventing relics from walking off, it's madness!
And in case you didn't concider this; how is taking relics at night any worse than in the early afternoon? People tend to be at work around that time, so there aren't any more people playing around that time than at night.

my ranting was more of a frustrated plea to use anything but the same boring words in every single thread:p
ut yeh..i understand why they use them. Thing is what makes me anoyed is that people throw them around without taking alook at what they are really saying. Just to make something clear. Roleplayer....i would say im not far off if i say that 80% or more that got in to daoc at some point in life either played arpg game(on pen paper or as pc game) either read fantasy...or liked fantasy in some other form(movies...plays or whatever:p). So calling someone fucking roleplayer seems kinda stupid to me. since we all are fantasy nerds for even playing this game^^...and all the other words i described...well...to really come across to someone and not be taken as a follower or wannabee themself, a change of words or something more inventive is always a plus:p If you wanna curse at someone a tip is to use something thats not repeated on rikki lake or in 1000 other post on FH, that will make the curse hit home more:p
enough ramblings..hehe
over and out..

I dont understand why they take the towers..
And I dont understand why pedophiles, rapists etc do what they do either.
