Sorry, but as an RoM player I disagree wholeheartedly.

Frogster wanted to make an aggressive showing in these polls and they made an admirable effort to send their players to vote.

THAT does not define Runes of Magic's community. It just says that their players were willing to go vote in a poll. I think even the most hated game could probably get enough votes in an online poll if they were as committed as Frogster.

As far as communities go I am not impressed by Runes of Magic. It has the same percentage of dingbats, veteran snobs and mature helpful people as every other youth-oriented game out there.

LOTRO (I am an ex-subscriber) was definitely the game where I felt most comfortable when asking a question.

Someone should do a test. Perhaps Massively can.

Go into a low-level area (not the starting area) and ask "Where is the mailbox?"

Then count how many "noob lol"'s they get.

I used a level 23 one of my friends has and asked exactly that in the general chat there wasn't a single "Noob Lol" answer.

I was however called a moron, a fag, and told to l2p.

I agree with you. I was going to reply to this article and just say "So a company telling people to go vote by offering them something means the game must have a great community?"

I didn't see RoM have any better community than any other MMORPG I've been apart of. I'm not saying it's bad really, but it's nothing worth defending at all with a whole article dedicated to it.
