Definitely, but I know not everyone acts out just because they can, and I think it would be interesting to see if there was a difference, for better or worse, in the amount of people acting out in such a situation. Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic |

I miss the galaxy too, but I don't particularly miss seeing your half-naked Pilsbury dough boy avatar gyrating around the ticket droid like a plus-sized male stripper in a chef hat. Congrats on the fanbase though, lol, I guess some people enjoyed it but personally I found you to be an eyesore and indicative of the need for the /ignore feature to remove avatars from the world instead of just blocking chat. Although to be fair, the fact that I remember you after three years means you got the attention you wanted, so, well done I suppose. /thread sign-off Veritas, do not take this the wrong way my friend, but I think you are being extremely unfair. Yes I danced in the starport and yes I was barely nude, but what was I suppose to do? How else was I, a lonely dancer in a world full of warriors yielding blasters and sabers, suppose to combat the grave injustices being administred in game? The new players in game were neglected and ignoredm they were an afterthought and I had to do something about it, I had to dance to get people's attention about this serious issue I thought was wrong and unjust. I gave them money and I gave them cents, I put a smile on their faces when they were down, I gave them hope when hope wasn't around. Veritas, you and others may not have liked my ways but they were my ways and my ways alone. I was a roleplayer Mr. Veritas, I roleplayed until I could roleplay no more. You know the art of role playing is fast becoming a dying craft. I wish someday my actions an efforts will bring back the days of old, in the meantime I will continue to dance and I will continue to ask the questions everybody else is to afraid to ask!!!!

You're a jelly doughnut? Awesome, so was JFK. Being smart has nothing to do with being a jerk or thinking some jokes are funny. Ive done IQ tests and have gotten 130's but I still love jokes that some people would call immature and for people that have low IQ's. Even people 21+ servers you'll get jerks and people that love that kind of humor, cuz im 26 and I know people older than me that love the so called humor people say is for dumb immature people. But I would be down for a 21+ server. Yeah people do get annoying with all the Anal insert ability jokes, the first few times it was funny but then it just got old. Just with any joke it gets old after awhile. Its the people that don't know when to stop that gets annoying to me, but anyways. Doing the IQ test will weed out most of the people that are annoying but it wont get rid of everyone that you may think is annoying

Well said Mr. Abrahmm, well said indeed. I think you(and a few others) are beginning to understand the true spirit of my idea. I don't want to isolate anybody, I simply want to find answers to questions that are mysterious and unique. Ichben Einberliner

The Crimson King will not approve of this thread. Funcom needs to change the /petition command into a general nano called "Summon Personal Jester" I keep hearing about this cloud computing thing and I bet that's where FC is putting the grahics engine. Right now they're investing in the weather balloon technology to get all the bits of code up there. Helium is expensive so it might take awhile. |

Judging by the OP's past gaming experience, he may submit this request to Blizzard, but I suggest calling it a "WoW server for pre-CU SWG vets." It's about the same thing as asking for a server with only high IQ players. Even the naked dancing Wookiees were more mature than half of the WoW players I've encountered. |

I want to forget about him for as long as I can so please Mr. Wise, please leave my memories alone before I say and do something I may regret later on. I want to focus on this thread, I want to focus on the NOW!!!! Ichben Einberliner |

IQ doesn't equal common sense. Just practical brain adjustment to a brain twister. You can have a 200 IQ and still be a worthless retard. The only difference is people with high IQ's will defend their trash talking by making some excuse like "It's part of sociology and human nature, besides text isn't heard. it's perfectly natural". Also, I know a couple people with only around 105 IQ. They are bassically what is classied as a little below average. Yet they are A students. I have a 140 IQ yet I am possitive they could smoke me in ANY kind of quizz or knowlege test simply because they purely put the time and effort into learning, wheres I am a lazy bastard. The reason? They have more determination and passion. Your IQ does not determine how motivated you are for something. So you can never judge overall knowlege, "Especially maturity" Based on IQ. Some people only talk sh!t online. I'll talk sh!t online and i'll say it to your face. |

Maturity doen't come with intelligence. Hitler was a genius. Look at those top 5 honors kids in high school, do you want a server of only them? My tip is: If your even a mild role-player, you will generally find older and more mature players on offical RP servers. -Selek |

A "WoW pre-cu SWG" is a noble idea, but I'm afraid the gods on cloud Blizzard will be too afraid to attempt something so massive and ground breaking. Ichben Einberliner |

Complete usleless thread ... except... It reminds me of a philosophy class. Question: are people with a higher IQ capable of having a more meaningful life than people with a lower IQ ??? And does that mean they would have more "quality" in their lives? --- :)))) ----

This would be kind of stupid because, someone could lie about their age so they could get above 130+ iq on the test, and just because someones not smart doesnt mean they are annoying, immature 12 year olds, you will still have immature kids with a high iq getting in the server. |

If it ever existed it would be like the Golgafrincham B-Ark from the Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy storyline.  |

A little thing called hyperbole. Get this shit. Last time I took an "official" test (1994?) it said I had an IQ of 145. I dropped out of High School in 9th because after I had gotten held back in 8th and then 9th the second time, I had no interest in being the only asshole at graduation of legal age to both smoke and drink. After I dropped out, however, I realized I was actually gifted with computers. Long story short, 10 years later, I'm a lead software developer for a Massachusetts billing software company. All of my peers have (atleast) Masters degrees in CompSci. Two of them came out of MIT. Me? Nadda. I did like a day of college (seriously). Can I hold my own in a technical conversation? Damn tootin. Do they respect my ability? I'm usually the guy they come to when they can't figure shit out themselves and Google gives them a single-finger salute. I'm a lazy bastard from the word go. I failed miserably in school because I cared more about my friendships and chicks and drugs than I did about doing my homework. At age 5 did I summarily usher in the new age of American Poetry by writing a sonnet even the Great Bard would cream his pants over? Nope. I was busy making mud pies and killing grasshoppers just like all you guys. Am I a genius? Yes and I can hold a decent conversation to boot. See.. average people just love to think genius comes with its shortcomings. Like being smart somehow makes you socially inept or inable to do your own taxes or tie your shoes. Its like they need genius to cause rainman syndrome because if it doesn't, somehow, there isn't justice. I say: fuck justice and fuck you because I'm the life of the Goddamn party and I'm successful enough to wreck both my cars ten times and STILL be able to get season tickets to the Red Sox. So... um.. yeah, I'll join your server.

High IQ doesnt make you not stupid. Just makes you think your smart. Your IQ is really only usfull until a certin age. It shows how well you can learn things. Not how much of a prick you are. |

I like it! Then the fights over purple loot will have complex math to back it up! I would join to watch how quickly the drama would sink back down to other server levels. My guess is about when the first purple loot drops for a PUG. Welcome to western culture - where self fulfillment can be achieved (for a few seconds at least) by virtual purple loot!

Accuse me for my poor grammar. IQ has to do with INTELLIGENCE - NOT how SMART you are. So YES, you COULD have an IQ of 283,572,105,720,857,085,128,452,705.... and you could play World of Warcraft. But due to how easy and over-simplified it is (like all popular MMOs), you'd probably level to 80 in a few weeks and get bored doing the same thing over and over. A person who has an IQ of 130 is boardline genius. I don't agree with 95% of IQ tests that are taken: because I know that 130 is very, very rare. Like 5% of the population rare. Just like an IQ of 70 is rare. 100 is supposed to be, "balanced" and 50% of the population is more intelligent than you, the other half is less. Intelligence has to do with your capacity to learn, whereas smart-ness has to do with your actual knowledge that isn't obsolete. |
