A friends concern

[LethalAddixtion]

Hey all, im just going around to the forums i visit and posting this to help a friend spread his word, it may not apply in the servers Xanton runs but it wouldnt hurt to be aware of whats going on in other servers:


To all of the UT community,

There is no community without communication!

Before I start I would like to say this.

Please take some time out to read through with an open positive mind.

As most of you are probably aware the UT community as it stands is very poor. This is mainly to do with lack of positive communication between players and clans. Most of the communication has become very negative. Players flaming other players, clans flaming other clans. And I am not just speaking about public servers. This also includes ladders and IRC. If we are to strive and to keep the community alive we really need to do something about this. The solution is very easy. Take the time to actually get to know the other players/clans. Be it over IRC, in game chat, teamspeak, ventrilo, whatever. Just be nice and friendly and I am sure you will find that most of the players out there are good people and very nice to talk with. At the end of the day were all basically the same. Some have families, a wife, husband, or children. Some are single, young, old, black, white, male, female. But the 3 things we all have in common are these. Were all flesh and bone, were all just sitting in front of our pc's and we are all just playing the same "GAME".

Some players are better skilled than others, some players play just for the fun factor and others would like to become good enough so they can be classed as pro players. None of these matter. If you’re beaten in a game it's not the end of the world! We all have our bad games no matter what skill level we are. A lot of the members of the community have been playing this game for a very long time. I myself have been playing it since the very first Unreal came out. But there are still also a lot of new players. Please don’t scare them off by flaming them in game with words such as "nab" or "n00b". Remember! You were also new to this game once! Maybe take some time and give the new players tips on how to play? We need to get this community stronger and this won’t happen by scaring the new blood off! This also won’t happen if the old-time players decide to quit because of all the abuse they receive. Server admins be more vigilant! And warn/kick the abusive players until they realize their mistakes. We have all probably flamed and done all of the above in the past. But please let bygones be bygones and let’s all just try and get along! Let’s sweep all past confrontations under the carpet. And lets all start fresh. No more "n00b, nab, hax" Lets see more. GG. Good shot. Nice shot. No matter how the game goes. Let’s see the higher ranked players and clans actually communicating with the lower players and clans. Just because they may not be as skilled at the game as you does not mean they should be ignored or flamed. If all of this is achieved then you/we will all find online games to be much more fun and friendly. This will also bring the new players back for more. And it will make our "community" much stronger. And if the above is achieved then maybe UT2007 will start off on the rite foot!

If you have read this far then it's already started.

Please pass this on to other players and clans. And please add your clans IRC and web url info to the list so we can start the communicating!

oh yea ... Locke my best friend?

I totally agree with whoever wrote that. I haven't played much at all in the last year, and a few weeks ago when i finally did play again, i found the whole experience completely different! Everyone used to say hi, good shot, and talk a lot during games, but they don't now. I'm not refering to our server, cos i think we've managed to keep a friendly, fun atmosphere. I'm not even saying that i got abuse in other servers, just that no one says a goddamn word! Maybe that's because everyone is in TS talking, i don't know?, but i doubt that everyone would be. At the end of games no one talks. I think that's down to zounds though, people are too obsessed with those to chat with anyone.

[XIR.Xanton]

Also agree with the first post. BTW: Had some good
talks with Perentie - he's a nice guy and welcome on
our servers.

Yer, I notice sometimes when I'm on a different servers
but I'm really happy to see the friendliness on ours. Well
whoever's getting rude will soon notice it's not a good
idea. Well, maybe I'm wrong and others have a different
view but actually I think we don't have such a problem
on any of our servers. I'll support The~Saint 's idea though!

I passed it trough to one clan runned by few of my mates so I hope they will read it trough and also pass it somwhere and maybe someone after all will read this trough and there will be more friendly servers and ppl
