Come and Checkout the Exalted Server.

So, I was playing an alt on Virtue yesterday and someone asked a question in help. He said "What is the Exalted Server like?" The first reply he got was "Horrible, half of them are elitist pricks and the other half are freedom farmers". I was shocked that he said that, but also shocked that so many people believed it.

This thread is here to say Exalted is NOT like that in anyway shape or form. The server is new and taking it's babysteps, and yes there are some 'trolls' on the server (ie think they are special because they are VIP sever) but that is only the smallest minority of players.

I hope before judging a server you would check it out for yourself. You will probably be pleasently surprised. We have a great helpful community and many Heroes and Villians happy to team.

I am not asking one to main on the server, only that you don't judge a server by the word of a few trolls and will actually come and see for yourself that actually the server is not bad at all.

While your at it, come and check out union and union chat! We have cookies!

I haven't even seen any of the "trolls" you mentioned. There was one mildy annoying SWTOR tangent on the help channel the other day, but other than that everyone I've encountered on the server has been polite and helpful.

I have run into several of the Very Intolerant Players myself. In fact I am just about done the Ex - Halted server.

You have some very nice people that enjoy the game and just play. The other night on a Positron 2 we had a great team and just steamrolled a long having fun, but I have also seen the jerk brigade out in force as well.

Not just in chat but in teams where if the mobs are not neatly lined up into an group waiting for the firing squad they throw hissy fits.

The new players are more fun in most cases - they do silly things of course but it is a game and so playing and doing silly things is part of it.

I was going to play an Exalted since I heard about Freedom, but unfortunately I'm a roleplayer and I can't exactly ask Union to move to Exalted. But I think I will create my joke characters over there. Bicarbonate of Soda to the rescue!

Even though i dont play exalted . . . . . . . whoever took the name "damz", give it back! Thats me!

I don't even understand this concept of elitism that could be attributed to the server. Until a month or so ago everyone was a subscriber, AKA a VIP. There's nothing more special about being a VIP now, and nobody on Exalted is acting like there is. The only special thing about the server is there's no lag yet it still has a health population, I usually play on Virtue but it's so crowded and laggy now that it's unplayable at times (I also ran out of character slots).

I have alot of characters on exalted already (both transferred 50's and newly created characters ) and play quite a bit , I just don't find the community there that likeable (or at least the people that seem to want to try to speak for the community ) on the other hand it has a bunch of names that I wanted and its a good solo server (the place I go to solo when im not feeling like hanging out with my friends from virtue .

so will I make use of Exalted ? "you betcha!" will I ever leave my main server for exalted ? "hellz no"

= There is already a growing RolePlay community on Exalted.
- Bad idea, a very BAD idea to begin with. Why? We have already at least FOUR servers I know that play host to a community of roleplayers. We don't need more, because that splits the RP community instead of bringing it together to have fun and work together. Why people insist on hiding behind a locked server is beyond me.

= The community on Exalted are extremely friendly, and after spending a few weeks on both Virtue and Freedom, my personal opinion is that the Exalted community is both friendlier and more helpful. - For now.

= Paying for the game doesn't automatically make a player A.)An Elitist, B.) A Special Snowflake or C.)Good at the game. Exalted does have its bad, but it also has its good.
- No counter-argument here.

=Whilst you are are entitled to your own opinion, you are exactly one of the problem players who have formed an opinion of the server without even giving any of the community a chance. If Virtue makes you happy, great! I don't want anyone to change servers but thinking bad things of a server just because it's VIP only is stupid.

- I know people who switched because they were butthurt at the constant catgirls and griefers. I know people who switched because they didn't want to be near Freems.

Those are the people that make me want to find bricks and pelt birds with them.

I am very much new to CoH in general, and I love Exalted (not tried out other servers yet, but I'll get around to it)

There are, however, some "elitists" as mentioned in the OP (which is, in itself, hilarious. being superior because you're a VIP when every single other player on that server is also a VIP = hilariously retarded)

I'm a 7 year+ veteran.

Bow before me.

I am your god.

/sarcasmoff

Who gives a **** about VIP status and veterans of the game? We're players like everyone else. We just get the special attention because we're whats making the game run by paying for it.

We're not special otherwise.
