So I haven't played this game in 4 years, I left around the time strategus came out. I had a great idea to get my two friends to join me on my venture to get back into crpg. I wish I could say it has been a pleasant experience.
Up until this point the going had been tough, but we had been laughing all along the bumpy demoralizing path that is leveling up in crpg. The last round we played, about an hour ago, my friend and I were on team speak goofing around. He says he is going to play a round without anything on and try to dodge my horrendously bad cavalry charges. All of the sudden he gets kicked. So, as any concerned friend would do, I simply ask, "what??". Instead of getting a nice simple answer, I immediately get flamed. You would expect the experienced players of a small mod such as crpg to be helpful and kind to new players. Instead you have players like blackrose_veb telling you to go play pony island, and others telling you your 4 years old or something. One person did eventually tell me about leaching and why my friend was banned, and I thank you. This wasn't the first time I was surprised at how a noob's question was answered. I know there are trolls everywhere, but you would expect the die hard experienced crpgers to not continue along that trend. I'm just here to tell those players that attitudes like that push away new players like my friends and I. Honestly I would not recommend this mod to people for that reason.
I hope those that this is addressed to grow up and realize a bigger picture about trying to keep a dwindling community like this growing.
