Is it just me or have these forums become more calm nowadays? Or are we just waiting for the next fail mmo? Not that it's a bad thing, I don't see the point of flaming other games, I think it's a waste of time you could spend on the game you prefer.

Maybe some people just got older

were all just patiently waiting for  AION lol (Note : im not a flamer >_>)

My friend, there is still plenty of animosity to go around.

I just prefer to call it 'aggressive argumentationalism'.

Everyone is unable to flame anymore as we are all so excited for this new MMORPG!

people tell me its going to be a sweet experience

Agree. I think some of the most frustrated players were PvP fans and both Darkfall and Aion have helped with that.

I like PvP and I would not touch either of those even with a long stick. Everything I hear from them is bad. Even the posts that praises those two sound bad! More likely everyone's waiting for the next decent game to come by. Calm before the storm. Just wait when people get disappointed.

School has started for most public education facilities.   Even private ones like colleges.

I think the more recent, smoother mmo launches helps compared to the darkfall, WAR, AoC debacle. Some stuff is still going on though.

However I have to ask you, what is your definition of a "flamer"?

In my opinion these forums are overrun with zealous "fanboys" who feel threatened whenever you make a critical point of anything. If you don't like this or that or think some games are fundamentally flawed.

In general I find this whole "fanboy" and "flamer|hater|doomsayer" is simplistic and stupid. Time and time again I have been labelled "hater" or "doomsayer" for calling out things that are wrong with a game under development. And I still have to find myself not right. And more funny, usually the other half turns around after launch and agree that the game was indeed flawed.

Yeah, but you are playing AoC, you have no standards.

That just come from the Blizzard fanboy (look at his post history)

ROFL

Bad economy. Everyone is losing their office jobs and have to work at McDonalds with no internet access.

I agree whole heartedly. I've started to get warnings anytime I say anything negative at all and I'm getting pretty tired of it. I think it's time they remove that stupid report button and have the moderators *gasp* moderate.

yep.steer clear of wow .thats what i do lol

I am afraid it is a calm before the storm, when Aion releases things will get back to normal.

The only game that have benn released since Df is CO that just got out but superhero games don't seems to get as much trolling as other games. So once Aion releaes things should get back to normal.

Also MMO is not as popular in schools today as a year ago so maybe some of the worst flamers quit because of that.

I too have noticed a downward trend of vigorous flaming of  newly released games. Champions Online seems to be somewhat calm. Aion I think will show some more lively discussion

Actually, Aion is made like Lineage, not WoW.  The games may be similir because most MMO that are hack & slash are set up in a similiar manner.

The game is pretty good, better than WoW in almost every aspect.  I doubt it would rival WoW's PvE endgame content, but that is not Aion's focus.

Or maybe we are winning the war on flamers ;)
