Been pondering this on and off since it was said to me. Bear in mind, this is aimed at those who came from a RPG background like myself, rather than you more seasoned FPS gamers, though comments are welcome of course.
Back in my DAOC days (and other RPGs) Jup's always been the reasonable guy. Guild leader and all round nice chap. Never had anyone on my ignore list. Still (after so many months) have people asking me to go back to DAoC. Member of Kemor's E&E team I'd help anyone who asked, no question. Advising people who others (Brannor) would have simply reported, talking stuff through with people and so on. Trying to fight in RvR was absolutely terrifying. I'd never fight other players in RPGs and I would actually shake when trying to hit someone.
A couple of days ago, piloting the Galaxy for the joint PL and BS teams we've had running (Been enjoying the teamwork alot guys) when some numbnuts from our own faction starts shooting at the galaxy. Without hesitation, I'm on voice:
'Can someone please kill that fuckwit'
and duly someone hopped out and dispatched said annoyance, for which I thanked them before we loaded up and got underway.
Couple of seconds later, Boomhowser, in outfit chat:
'Planetside's changed you, Jup'
.. and it set me thinking.
This isn't about the rights and wrongs of TKing, it's more about people in general.... anyone got comments?
