There are few places on the Internet that are as full of hate, rage and hostility as the official forums of a MMORPG, even more so if the game is new or near to its upcoming launch date, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
New MMORPGs regularly get swamped by hostility from a part of the userbase that can't understand the challenges endemic of the genre and proves excessively resistant to change.
With the release of Final Fantasy XIV's expansion Dawntrail, its main character Wuk Lamat has been polarizing among the fans.
Square Enix has installed a real-life Aetheryte Crystal outside a train station in London to celebrate the upcoming release of Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.
Naoki Yoshida aka Yoshi-P is one of the best game directors out there today. For more than 10 years, he has been tuning the success of the incredible comeback of FinalFantasy XIVwith increasingly better expansions such as Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Dawntrail is out in two weeks, and it's shaping up to be a holiday for the Warriors of Light, but it's clear that there's definitely a lot more at stake.
Well said but it goes well beyond MMO games but they do take the brunt of it. The more people are able to reach out and voice their so called opinions it's to be expected few will act this way. Add the anonymity aspect to it and this is what you get. A bunch of losers with nothing better to do. Guess Mommy didnt pay enough attention.
Gaming communities will always be diluted with immature children and adults who never grew up, it's up to the moderator's to weed them out of the forums and for the mature ones to simple /ignore anyone that's crying for attention.
Although sometimes it is hilarious to see or hear an adult cry like a baby over a video game, almost makes you feel pity for them for being so pathetic.
