Second post: So, in your oppinion we should divide ourselves in about 40 (or more) factions who only help their members? Imo is no better way to see Atys deserted in less than 2 months.
And about my post and responses. What I'm saying is that behaviour was VERY rare before merge. Almost nill. Now has become rather common as long as players started to complain about it. Could be a coincidence? Maybe. In that case I am wrong and I'll present my apologies. Or maybe not and in that case your accusation of lack of maturity are out of point.
Only time can tell.
To all those people accusing "all" Windermeer people of being jerks, immature, and what nots, that just shows your lack of maturity and close minded attitude. Generally speaking, before the merge, the Windermeer community was much like the Arispotle community with a lower population. People were nice, friendly, helpful, considerate and willing to risk their life and limb to come to one's aid when one was down. That is not to say that Windermeer didn't have people that weren't "bad apples", but to generalize one group of people as all being bad is just bliss ignorance. Every culture and nation has people that either in RL or GL are jerks or just don't want to be helpful....which there is a difference between a jerk and a person who just doesn't want to bother.
Personally I'm a rezzing freak. I enjoy helping people and coming to someone's aid. That is just me and the way I like to play. Not everyone is like that though. I would also like to add, I have yet to see this behavior although something similar happened to me last night.
Last night after the Merger Celebration Party in the city of Windermeer, I decided to do some exploring and just generally see who was where and try to meet some more peeps I hadn't met all week so I teleported to Pyr in Fyros since I hadn't been home in awhile. I was running from Pyr to Dyron passing through Oflavok's Oasis on the road on the other side of the Kami TP when some poor bloke ran by me and aggroed a group of cloppers on me. Now, normally this wouldn't have been a problem for me, but unfortunately, I only had my casting armor on and valiantly fought to the death since I was surrounded and trapped and couldn't run for the water. No worries though, there are 5 blue dots all within 250m of me. I called out I need a rez xxxMeters from xxxLocation please and my time is xMinutesxSeconds. No response so I waited patiently. I did the /who command and their were just 5 peeps in my region...all the blue dots showing in my radar. I sent a tell to the two closest since i was down to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I get a response from one of the two peeps closest to me....Zelig I think(can't remember cause I was a little intoxicated)...say 125meters or so. I knew they were leveling, in a battle and he said hang on, be there as quick as I can. Unfortunately, I ran out of time. Yes, I was a little upset, not at Zelig and his buddy though as they were in a battle, as my dp is around 330,000 per death or there abouts, but easy come easy go. I worked off my dp and cooled down. Why couldn't those people come and rez me? Who knows.....although I know one group of two people, of which one of the members was the one that messaged me, was in a battle and couldn't. The players could have been new and/or new to the area and not known how to get to me, some might have been afk, others might not could have made it from where they were, and still others might not have been paying attention to region chat.
This is the first time in a long time I had peeps on my radar and wasn't able to get a rez. Consequently, I could easily presume and accuse Arispotle veterans of not coming to my rescue. The fact of the matter, that this would be poor judgement and thinking on my part. It is simply not true. I just had bad luck. Plain and simple.
I urge people not to start wildly accusing large groups of people. If one has a close minded view of other groups of peoples in RL, keep it there please. I play Ryzom to get away from all that childish nonsense. Fortunately, I have yet to meet such people ingame that have this view of us Windermeer Wayfarers, and I hope it stays that way.
Edit and note: excuse any grammatical and spelling errors as I'm still hung over from the Merger Celebration.
