Newbies are also required to be in the server's IRC, which is a usual thing for an RP server. However, it's fair warning to say that there will be a bit of hazing. It has happened to me before, but I was able to drone out the problem and not let it bother me. However, for others, it can be a real problem. The IRC itself, while it does has its fair share of arguments that are eventually dealt with, having a newbie witnessing this certainly leaves a bad impression. Overall, unless you have high endurance or patience and can deal with something like this, you'd otherwise have a bad taste in your mouth.
But even then, the events usually involve veteran players, again, going back to the clique cliche again. This leaves newbies being left out and having no involvement whatsoever. I myself tried to join some of these events, but even then, one particular ST seems to have some form of favoritism and only selects certain people.
There's also the fact that racist language was used both in the IRC and in-game (in the OOC room, of course). It may have been funny to the person who issued the comment, but calling my character a "sandbaby" is racist and not cute nor is it "cool". As a person of color in real life, I felt it distasteful and not funny. There ARE characters who are racist against others in-game due to the lore (I played a Mu, a dark elf, in the game who were often wary of elves [who are white] and vice versa) but this shouldn't even be acceptable in game. It's offensive and because it was an OOC comment, it can be taken as a personal slight. This same person continued to harass myself and my boyfriend in the OOC room and then decided to take it to the IRC.I'm generally against name dropping, but what Cyanide did was extremely annoying and offensive. Bragging about "pissing someone off" in the OOC room in the IRC is immature. Grow up. She is an extreme turn off to the entire community.
I agree - but it seemed to be a common theme to have prostitutes and child sex slaves as roleplay characters. One player herself had a twelve year old girl be a part of a sex slave ring (??); something else I felt was uncomfortable and not really relevant, nor did it seem to be really elaborated on because somehow, her character still managed to have her "childhood" and was a relatively happy-go-lucky kid.
@Tea&CoWhile I happen to agree with some of the things written by the original poster, and his companion; I do believe Agharta is being slightly underhanded in terms of what and who were really are. While I am fully aware you don't seem interested at all, I would honestly suggest coming in and seeing for yourself, before making a judgement on us based off of a few disgruntled people.
...I'd just like to correct this for you: We aren't assuming these things based off the OP and their friend. We're assuming them based off Edgewood and other Argatha players who have come to "defend" the server....

The post that started the thread was merely a minor curiosity, but the posts to "counter" it are what turned me off entirely.However, I have a few things I'd like to speak with you about. Probably better to make it not public (You admit you might never read this, and Lord knows this thread is already way off the deep end), you can PM me here or I'll try and find you on Agharta itself.Fake Edit: It's nothing toxic or drama-y or whatever, or even really about Nazka, I wish to chat with you on a good-will basis.
