I cast "Cone of Politeness"

[mikailborg]

On another subject, I played a few hours of WoW last night. World of Warcraft has a few different kinds of game servers: PvE, where you only battle other players if you and the other players choose; PvP, where if you enter certain areas, you can be attacked at any time; and Role-Play, where in-game conversations are expected to remain in the persona of your chosen character.

The point of all this is that I've begun yearning for a new kind of WoW server: RolePlay-21, where players don't have to stay in character, but they all have to converse in-game with maturity, manners, and otherwise like people with fulfilling lives outside the Internet.

I'll move all my characters over there like a shot.

PvP, where if you enter certain areas, you can be attacked at any time;

Those certain areas being just about everywhere but the newbie zones (approx levels 1-20), the racial cities, and Shattrath City. PvP servers are....interesting. Lots of folks on them like to just get on and spend a couple hours ganking folks who can't necessarily defend themselves. Can be frustrating, but, well...a bit more satisfaction in leveling, 'cause it's harder.

But yeah, WoW players can be frighteningly immature.
