I know exactly what you are talking about. I play Star Wars Galaxies and have encountered the same type of people. To make it even worse, the SWG forums are constantly filled with angry and hateful posts. I personally love that game, but it amazes me that people that claim its the worst game they ever played would continue to pay a monthly fee just to complain on the message boards about it.
Since i started playing Silent Hunter 4 and found Subsim i hardly even log into SWG anymore. I show up for monday player verses player night on my server and log in once in awhile, but to be honest i'm having a better time here. This is a great community and as everyone else has mentoned, the maturity level around here is alot better.
Welcome Back!
