I've been playing this game for a long time now, and I've seen some things, and I've seen some stuff and I wouldn't recommend it.
Early in my cRPG career, people seemed helpful and more docile than hostile, I met many great players back when cRPG only had one server, and you waited 30 minutes for your stats and gear to update. The community was small, and everyone seemed to enjoy playing the game for the sole purpose of having a good time. As months passed I eventually found myself preoccupied with a clan, right around the time the North American servers started popping up. The leader of the clan was known for having poor spelling and grammar, and for saying silly and absurd things. Eventually, a poor reputation started and just seemed to stick, and I don't think I've lost it even to this day.

Originally, we asked to be forgiven by the community for the atrocities our last clan leader had caused, and while some people seemed to forgive and forget, a fair number of people continued to hold a grudge against those who had nothing to do with past disagreements. Team killing, trolling, false accusations and a number of issues started to rise and eventually my clan split in two. I'm not going to tell the story for the six thousandth time but right around this point in time is when the community of cRPG turns into a slum of shit and the word respect slowly transforms into hate.
Everyone started to take the damn game way too serious, personal threats, attacks and leaks began to flood our once small community. It was a fucking plague, and we've yet to shake it. People got hacked, personal information was released, people were permanently banned, corruption spread to the admins of the servers. I can't play without seeing mass butt hurt around every corner.
Lately, I've noticed that wearing the Dracul tag brings joy (all of the people I've gotten to play this game with) yet it's also a burden, as people still hold a grudge for things that happened
over a year ago and I can't play anywhere without being treated as a miscreant from hell. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Whatever happened to playing games because they were fun? How many of you play this for the purpose of continuing feuds when you don't even enjoy the game itself?
I guess this essay comes down to me saying this: We need to calm the fuck down and remember that we're playing a game, people take this strategus shit way too seriously and I think they forget that the reason they started playing this game in the first place was to have fun, not make enemies over the internet.
