Neither do i don’t like getting called noob. I guess people just say that to feel good about there selves. Sometimes i say everyone was a noob before if you weren’t then you cheated.

Yes well those were some good points although it was mostly focused RuneScape.

I used to play that game (recently quit) and people who did not follow those rules did get quite annoying. I am sure you find these type of people any where.

Also Chris, I was literally laughing out loud about the “PK” thing. Seeing that I also called it “Poke” and didnt know what “PK” meant till I was a high leel in th game which really made me look like a “noob.” Yea well whatever, for the game RuneScape, these rules should be followed and for any other game i am sure some of these rules apply to them as well.

I totally agree with this guy.But Runescape is not a MMORPG.He should try real (free) MMORPG’s like 2Moons,Rappelz,Cabal,Lunia and stuff like that.(I hope he will read this.:)And a tip:join to a guild and go kill High Level Mob’s or go to Dundeon Siege’s.

These are very good tips. I play a lot of MMORPG games, and they are very fun. I am going to use these tips and I will have a better experience.

I tryed to tip my fellow MMORPG players the same things to be honest, back when i used to play online games. Some people really needed to be aware of these tips…

Anyway good tips, good tips.

Great List Chris. I too run a website and do use some software that combines everything in one package. I took the coupon and went to goDaddy.com! Thanks Chris (Genius)

lol m-mor-pigg i agree completely with you on the hate people who do this stuff.

all points brought up are great. i hope all mmo players take this in and use what is said here in the game

That is a great set up tips. I’m guessing that the MMORPG is RuneScape, which I play and this list is so completely true. These things happen ALL the time! I really hate it when someone follows me and asks for free stuff. But now in RS there’s a trade system so trades are balanced. For example if you have something work $500 000 the person buying your item has to be within a maximum of $30 000 of it.

these are good, has anyone done one on First Person Shooters? That could be useful as well.

i play ffxi like theres no tomorrow. theres no real PvP so alot of these problems aren’t found there. ffxi is worldwide too (even each server) so you get to play with Europeans and Japanese players as well as Americans.

the last one about begging however is very true. don’t freaking beg for stuff! everyone was poor and new once, we all found our way.

was funny Chris didn’t know what PK means, you’d think he’d have played some mmorpgs in his’ day!

The only thing I ask while playing MMORPG’s is respect from other players. Face it, without respect you will not play the game. If players of any level will respect each other, you will have better time playing.

This is my opinion respect is everything.

I really agree with the one about not treating famous players or mods like they are gods, I believe it actually makes it harder on the one treating them like gods since then they feel obligated to act different than their normal selfs to please the one they are talking to. What is being liked by people if it’s not based on your own opinions and thoughts?

As far as asking for items from others, it certainly does get annoying. You know what I think, is that you are only a noob if you act like one, I mean even if you are new, so long and you watch your grammar and respect other and don’t act like a helpless baby, then I wouldn’t consider them a noob.

Also I do wish people wouldn’t act like such jerks just because they are probably thousands of miles away from someone who they are insulting and won’t face any consequences. It’s everywhere and theres no stopping it even ignoring it is hard but it’s worth it in the end when you find a decent person able of carrying a conversation, and if all goes well you get a new friend.

Yeah i do not get why people do that act like someone is god because they can ban someone its kinda funny

I also hate when a admin bans just because they can ban its kinda childish

And when they talk in H4XX0R

I hate beggers they’re the most annoying ppl in all games

I like that ” I hate beggers they’re the most annoying ppl in all games”.

I like these ideas.They are the best i have seen.i hope everyoe flows them

MMORPGs are my type of game.. But i’ve never really played a real MMORPG aside from SecondLife if that even counts as one. I’d love to get my hands into WoW eventually when I get a more powerful enough computer that will handle it.

The one thing that really got me when in SL was people would pointlessly come to you and say.. “Do you have any money? I’ll pay you back in a week..” or something like that. Like I’m going to go give someone out of the blue money every time they ask. To do so is only going to welcome more “begging” for money and what not from them. Just don’t do it! Yeesh.

One other thing that i’d like to point out is if ya got a microphone.. don’t sound like you are eating the thing. If you are that hungry, go get food and don’t eat while talking or hrm.. don’t talk while eating! Thats down right disgusting.

There’s my two cents. :)

I play a game called SilkRoad Online. That game is filled with people like the ones stated in the video. At some points in time I cant walk two steps without a person asking for a trade and to be in a party. There are quite a few people that repeatedly ask for a trade while I am attacking monsters. This is annoying because while they are asking you cant attack the monster. People need to learn to be respectful to other players. Luckily this game allows you to block trade and party requests so these people cant attempt to continually ask for a trade even after you said no.

Yeah, I absolutely hate playing MMORPG’s because of the people who do those types of things that you listed above. I mean really do they have to come up, and do that? It ruins the entire game for me, and everyone else. I stopped playing games like those because of this. I’m considering possibly going back to playing them. I’m just not sure exactly when I will…

Great tips, Chris. Many players don’t think about what they are doing/saying/typing… yeah. I also feel that a lot of the younger kids try to make themselves look like grownups by cursing, being abusive and trying to be “cool”. The thing is, the grownups know and those who don’t know right off usually catch on really quick. Just be polite – no reason to ruin it for other people. We all pay money for the service.

This was obviously about runescape, I played it when I was like 8.

Also, Ummed made me laugh out loud.

I like playing Guild Wars myself. These tips apply there also. I get hammered with beggars all the time. “Give me $$. It’s my anniversary” or some other silly excuse. It’s very annoying

One more: don’t be afraid to interact with others. These are communities that thrive on interaction with others, and you can make some great friends (and get awesome help on quests and such).

I tried world of warcraft, and it didn’t really seem fun. I do have a brother who is a warcrack addict, which almost broke up his relationship. Maybe video games do destroy lives.

I used to play World of Warcraft, and I swear the majority of the players of the game are very very snobby. Most times if you do not know how to do something no matter how complex in the game you are instantly “flagged” as noob by the people in your raid/party. I was always nice while playing and tried to help as many people as I could.

Some people just do exactly what you said not to do, and like in RuneScape, which is not an MMORPG, people come up and try to trade, and a lot of times people buy all of a certain item in a store and leave none for anyone else. I completely agree with you Chris. On World of Warcraft, i have not played it for very long but, I’m sure people act just like they do on RuneScape. And RuneScape is impossible to hack.

This goes for any team game, not just MMORPG. If your on a team, WORK WITH YOUR TEAM. Its so frustrating when everyone runs off in their own direction trying to get the same goal. Just stay together! youll have a better chance. Its amazing how much more you sctually WIN if you play with your team. And no team killing…. its just annoying.

man i hate mmorpg sooooooooooooo bad

I just to be one of those guys hwo play runescape alot, so in my point of view and now the i ting about it thats the main reazon wy i decide not to play any more, because the other player make me frustrated and all the time i was mad and depresed ntill i deside to stop. My recomendation or opinion will be to just play your game and dont tke it so serious still is just a game is not like you are going to spend all your life in there or the your life depends of it.

PS:IS JUST A GAME”

“Its like saying my mum will beat you up or something” ROFL!

I offically hate this guy.

mamorpagas seriously this guy is an idiot

learn to take a joke

how u get that matrix screen saver? its kool

It’s called humor, grow some.

this guy has no idea about any of this

mamorphagas

he doesnt know what he talkin about…srsly

I’d love to see those “rules” tatooed onto every brain of every 10 year old that plays RuneScape. After almost 3 years of playing, I’ve unsubscribed, and will not be looking back- the game environment there is just a slum. If you’re not being begged from, you’re being bombarded with “boyfriend/girlfriend” spam, and God help ya if you’re an adult that plays- I’ve never had to deal with such behavior.

RS was the first mmo-type game I ever played (being old school, I didn’t think I’d enjoy the interaction with others) & the enviroment, plus corporate attitude almost completely turned me off the whole thing.

Anywho- those are all great tips, now if only those engaging in that bratty behavior actually read it. >.

runescape lol not runscape

Oh god Runescape fags.

to all you Runescape players FIND A GAME THAT INST FILLED WITH 12 YEAR OLDS

If you can’t tell because you are 11 he is making fun of runescape by saying “RUN! ESCAPE!”
Indicating how shitty of a game it is.

i like ur matrix thing in the background..btw it sounds like ur talking bout diablo lol

you just read the letters they arn’t suppose to be words

But what if I can PWN U, NOOB!!!!!!!! lol
No but seriously, its all in good fun, I wasn’t aware that it required etiquette to play an MMORPG, other then basic manners of course, Im pretty sure this person is just PO’ed or really high strung person, but Ive done most of the things on that list and no one gets mad, its ALL IN GOOD FUN.

his a fucken noob,,,, learn to read

lol thats like the same thing skychi said in 1 of his vids

lol skychi from runescape lmfao

momoperga xD funneh

omfg rofl w/e n00b!

I knew that he was talking about runescape from the start. lol

yeah you can tell its runescape

Whoever wrote that letter copied it straight off of Skychi’s “Whats Wrong With Runescape” Video.

Pwn, is Own misspelled. both pronounced own.

momorpaga xDD

Yep this is rs to me i could tell lol. Well ya, its sometimes annoying for me when beggers ask me for 3k in f2p and i don’t mind giving free 3k or more to pple (depends). Yep, Chris probly played this game or not … just my opinion. Well its mostly pointless that u get nothing in drop partys when there is a bunch of players having the same percentage as you of getting like 20m or more or a whip or a blue party hat (wish there was two party rooms or idk.) well i’m off . I’ll check this site out again.
