My First Rant

Two of my best EO friends have just announced they are quitting EO. Is it because of FWN? Hell no. Is it because of me? Of course not.

The main reasons why my good friends feel they should quit EO is because of the game itself. There hasn't been any major updates since I first started playing about 7-8 months ago. The only changes that have been made are the ones the players took upon themselves to make, to worsen the quality of the game by the use of hacks, scamming, and shit talking.

I'm going to address every single problem I find in EO as of late.

These shit talkers. I'm sure they have a cold sore on their lips for having a dirty mouth, but really, anything they say has no relevance to actual facts. People that make those random hate comments have absolutely no self control, and it's expressed by what they say. If I wanted to go to EO's worthless forums, I could go there and be like, "You guys have no lives, you are all nubs... I want gold." The reason I don't is because I refrain myself. I have discipline. Rather than go to the forums and make a complete ass of myself, I'd rather walk around the bullshit and continue blogging. I'm sure everyone of my fellow bloggers understands where I'm coming from.

Two types of people. The nerd and the youngin. The nerd is the rich guy in EO that may not have many friends in real life, probably because of physical handicaps or maybe an anti-social personality. Maybe they don't get out much, and when they do, it's to go to EB games to check on the new Naruto game or something. They are withdrawn, and this is one of the reasons why they vent out their frustrations online, whether it's on EO, youtube, or some big community on the web. They want to feel like they're not worthless, and they'll go to great lengths to gain popularity.

The youngin. I feel sorry for them. They go to EO to play the game, but they just may not understand how to play. They ask someone for help, and they tell the youngin to "piss off", or, "gtfo nub". These kinds of people are the nerds explained in the paragraph above. Kids are very naive, and are easily infuenced by what they see. So when someone calls them a "nub", they in turn will call someone else a "nub", to jump on the bandwagon. Hell, they may not even know what a "nub" is. They may not have the know-how to play a game like EO, so the next best option is to copy someone else. But all in all, they are not the big problem. On to the next paragraph.

Hackers are everywhere. It's not just the idiots trying to hack your account, but the dupers, the speeders, and the auto-magers and others also fit in this category. The reason they may do this is because of the feeling of satisfaction they may get from cheating, sort of like a theif when he/she steals. This is because of the individual inability to demonstrate a basic level of work ethics. They want to do things the easy way. Unfortunately, that's not the way this world works. And their habit of using cheats and making a feeble attempt at playing the game with their own rules usually results in their plans backfiring on them. Whether they get jailed, or they in turn get hacked. It's like a pyramid scheme for idiots.

The creator of his game and his inability to organize his staff. I don't know much about Vult-r, or any of the admins. But it's safe to say they rarely login to control the chaos that's running rampant in EO. They just login to warp here, teleport there, talk to their friends and then log out. If any jailing ever goes on, it's only a 2 hr ban and the jailed idiot is back out, not learning anything, not caring that he/she was jailed in the first place, but in contrast, is content with being jailed in the first place so everyone knows that individual is a cheater. I know Wikky and a couple others are saying that Vult-r is trying his hardest to fix the problems, but there's nothing that shows he is doing anything at this time. I don't see what is being worked on, I only see what is happening.

Even with these problems, I still login to this game. Why? Because I have a guild to run. And this guild is comprised of good friends. I also have this blog, which I invested time and effort to make. Look at the other blogs. There are atleast 10 other blogs related to EO, and counting. But why is Wikky making posts about Kongregate? Why has Nezlo and Avamay left EO to play Wonderland Online? Why am I starting to play Luminary (yeah, I found it by accident but it's fun. Review about this game to come later in the future)? It's because of the filth that engulfs EO. I mean not everyone fits in the category of people I talked about in this post. There are people who are friendly, those that do offer help to get the beginner started in EO. But the reality is that because there are still a majority of people who play this game just to work hacks, the community in this game in general suffers.

Hopefully I get some comments. Do you like the way EO is going now? Or do you want it to change for the better? Are you an EO bullshitter, or do you actually play the game the way it's supposed to be played? Do you have any ideas on how to make the community of EO better? Let me know.

Like I said before -- probably the only reason I play this game is to chat with my EO friends. But it seems they're quitting. What else does EO have in store for the future?
