I really think that many factors are effecting the antisocialism. Some say that mass pvp would change that, but I have to disagree, we all have seen how WAR is, join in kill kill kill then leave. Sorry I didn't mean to point fingers, I just thought that was a good example.
From what I have experienced these are some of the factors that I have noice (correct me if I was wrong):
- Greed (loot and what not)
- Conflict in intreset (one person gets a group does what he needs to be done with a group for himself and then leave the rest without offering to help them. you might call it self centered or maybe selfishness)
- Guilds ( many, but not all, Guilds that call themselves Elite tend to be antisocial or unfriendly toward a person that is consedered a newbie to the guild. I noticed that some small/casual guilds are the same as well. Though some tend to become more social toward new members as the guild starts gaining some trust toward the new members. I can't say I blame them though)
- Games are being dumbed down and being more and more solo oriented ( Then again I can't complain here since once a game starts to get a bit older and people have reached much higher level, how do you expect low level people to level up or have fun in the game when there aren't many lower level people to even group with, which in my openion is the main reason why many games are being dumbed down with time and some companies take the short cut and have the game easier from release )
So in the end it's not the games' fault for antisocialism, it is our fault, the gamers. Many of us don't have the time, want to log in finish what we needs to do, then log out, or even just log in save the effort and just play with people you trust and know, like real life friends, old game friends, guild members and so forth.
Sorry That was one huge block of text so I'll end it here with saying this is all just my openion in this matter.
OP: thanks for the great thoughts/review. It made me even less patient to get my hands on this game and try it out.
I started with EQ and have been moving from one MMO to another for a while now I'm just playing EQ2 and waiting for Aion.
This game did catch my eyes as well, and I plan on giving a try. Your fear of immature people is in its place, but then again what game out there doesn't have that!
Once it comes out I'm willing to Play with you it's always nice to play with someone (it is an MMO after all) than playing solo.
On a side note though I am not sure how the game is so I might not last very long in it. will see how it goes.
Edit: Actually what I learnt from F2P games is that once you have good people to play with, you can just turn on your inner filter and just have a pleasant time with your nice group.
I might actually try this one my self. I tend to do like game like that too; light hearted and very casual.
