MMORPG killers

I tend to play a lot of MMORPGs and other online games before. I would often download and play many online games and if I get tired of them, I would search for another and uninstall the game that I get tired of. One day, I was playing this certain online first-person shooting game then someone PKed(Player kill) me and he followed it with a curse. He PKed all the players in the room then cursed each and everyone of us. Most of the players in the room reacted violently about what he had said. We decided to ambush him and kick him after he died. After that, we reported him and he was banned to play the game for a few months.

Be simple.

I always like to use the computer and surf the net. I play a lot of online games and meet a lot of people. There are different things that you will see while playing the game and maybe you can learn from it. When you are playing games like ragnarok, you will encounter many people that have different attitudes. Sometimes they can be good or bad to you. I also use YM when I want to chat and talk with other people. I learned about chatting when I saw my sister using Yahoo Messenger to chat with her classmates. My sister told me to make an account because she said that it is very helpful.

Oops! Lesson learned…

I usually like chatting and playing games everytime I use the computer. But most of my time is used in playing. I’ve met a lot of people online, coming from any parts of the world, but not all of them were nice. I’ve encountered people who were rude, ruder, and rudest. If they got pissed of by somebody (can also be you), they would attack (thinking for a better word) you with these bad and insulting words. Actually, it was my first time to read the Netiquette on this subject. It opened my mind on what was happening in the online world. I think those people who don’t know how to act properly online should and be required to red the Netiquette Rules in order for them to learn how they should be acting or talking with other people. That is what these rules are for, for us to look good and decent even if we’re not seen. Verbal actions should be taken seriously to avoid any problems communicating and getting along with most people, mostly the ones who belong to other countries. Respect is a key to friendship, always remember that. We need it not only online, but in any sort of communication. I admit that sometimes, if somebody online talks to me in a bad way, I actually answer him/her in a bad way too. I know it’s bad, but it really pisses me off. But now that I’ve read the Netiquette Rules, I would be able to know what to do.

He/She hates me.

I haven’t done anything wrong regarding the netiquette although I have experiences in which I was the one being violated. There was this Pop who had bothered me for a long time in Multiply, at first he was just cursing and saying stuff to me until he hacked my account and decided to delete it. I reported to Multiply of what happened and they put back my account but then in just less than 24 hours it got hacked and deleted by someone again. I got very pissed of what he did since almost all of my files were saved there. I have those files backed up in my iPod but unfortunately the files got corrupted on that very same day.

I have also experienced people making fake accounts saying that they’re me. One of those fake accounts even attempted to ask my Dad how much he earns. Not before one dinner time when I told my Mom about this person who tries to ruin my social relationship with others just then I knew that this guy was also talking to my Dad. Well at least it was a good thing that my Dad never answers such question even if it was really me who asked it.

There was also this time when I can’t log into my Friendster account. It always says there that my email and password don’t match. I tried sending reports so that I can see in my Yahoo! Mail account what my password was and surprisingly it says in my verification mail that it was “gago”. I never used this so called word as my password. The hacker must have changed my original password to this and again it pissed me of.

Actually, I think that all of these were made by only one person but I can’t think of anyone who can have anything against me.

Trolls Among The People

      I had experienced bad netiquette when I was playing World of Warcraft and other MMORPGs. It happened when I had asked a question on a channel and the people responded quite rudely and were not answering properly. Some people even cursed me for no reason, not in WoW but in the other MMORPG for no reason which is poor netiquette and was quite dismaying.

Trash Talk abounds

One of my personal experiences regarding the rules of netiquette happens all the time in this game I sometimes play. It is a variation of Warcraft and I play with other people via software called G. Arena that enables me to play with complete strangers. As you can imagine there is a lot of trash talk that goes around, ranging from insults used by kids to insults on family, mothers and the like. The trash talk is in violation of the rules of netiquette but no one can stop them so they do it anyway.
