Will the community be DFO's Achilles' heel?

I read the DFO official boards and I almost want to cry. It's a cesspool of idiocy and puerile behavior.

The boards here, though they started wonderfully (see my member number), day by day I notice them slipping into juvenile penis measuring and unintelligible flame wars. It seems to be the DFO community is already infecting this community, how will it NOT infect the actual game come launch.

WoW's community (though bad), was never/is not this bad.

Honestly, I'm a bit concerned.

Official forums are usually like that. WoWs forums are like that, but since the game is released, its more in the form of whiners and others saying GTFO and QQ MOAR NUB. Personally, I would stay away from official forums for this reason. Flame wars are unavoidable there.

Its only been bad since we've had all the newcomers. People wondering why there isn't taming ingame, or why indie companies aren't exactly like Blizzard, or a host of other questions that have been answered before and tend to be in the FAQ.

Plus you can't gank that fucktard who was sprouting idiocy over your well thought out topic on the forums. Can't wait to be able to steal peoples stuff if they are annoying :D

I personally believe that everyone on the offical boards is a fucktard because they have nothing about the game to talk about, we have steady leaks to keep us sane and mature.

Any intelligent posts on the official boards does usually end up being rediculous, but I don't want to think that that will be the majority. The only problem seems to be the lower the IQ of the poster, the more likely they will reply to threads. Forums can't really be a good way to base anything on really. The ones who tend to have something interesting things to say tend to leave the boards after the fools get going. Wait and see. I don't think it will be that bad. I agree with the previous poster, all game forums tend to be flame fests and kids that like to post useless crap.

For the original question... The guys that are trolls\flamers are those that in game will be PKs or people with a bad reputation... You know as PKs make a habit of PKing (hence the name) other players, there are players (often entire clans) that take pleasure in hunting them down, thus keeping them sedated. If the game is lively there won't be a problem, if the game's numbers dwindle many of the latter form of players will migrate to other games thus leaving PKs rampant...

Unfortunately this is the exact type of game that attracts that sort of mentality.
Asheron's call darktide server was exactly the same with the same sort of attitude on the VN forum boards.
But without these people the good and sensible among us would have nobody to kill in game :P

Here is your problem.

The official DFO forums are really awful. While the flames of nerd rage can be seen slipping into these forums, hopefully the leakers and admins will take a hard stance on all of it and outright delete/ban anyone who gets out of hand.

Official forums are just troll wars.

The problem is when the devs start "listening" to the community, because essentially they are being trolled.


The guys in Aventurine seem intelligent to me. I hope they never take "the community" too seriously.
