This kinda garbage is exactly why I haven't played tw in quite some time. Always some smack talk going on and always a dic|< swinging contest. This aspect has drained the game of fun. Has competition on a text game gotten so important? Flames, flames, and flames... Apologies after apologies. That is a drag. Oh well what do u do? Can civility and competition coincide within the same 20k universe? When it can I may come back and play. Some may think, STFU LD, others may think who is LD. Regardless a reform needs to occur. I've killed noobs, pros, and likewise been killed. However in my bloodthirst I have not talked smack and/or demeaned fellow players or team members. Hopefully we can take heed and not just say, "Hey LD, Blow Me!"
This is my opinion solely and I was not coerced by Blizzard Inc., Battle.net or any affiliate of Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction.

heh LD, well u made a list of where u might be found...lol
But in response, the Smack talk is part of the game, although I rarly do it myself, I find it rather amusing. The apologies shouldn't be needed, but when someone does wrong in some way it is nice to see them stand up and admit it.

Tell me about it.
Feels like I have been dragged thru the dirt this week.
None of The Foundation even feels like playing any Tradewars at the moment because of all the smack.
But this is Tradewars and the peeps who play seem to thrive on it. They just need to pick a different set of people to smack talk and flam for a while because I’m sick of it.
Seriously thinking of buying that WoW front end now.

LD I have been at the start of many threads that become a flame, or a debate, or a yelling and cursing match, and I have to tell you after all of this, Trade Wars just doesn't seem worth my time, energy, or money. I have thought time and time again about just letting the game go. Tell all the friends I have made through the game I have to go, and to let the community just forget about me.
Just yesterday I decided that I would not play Trade Wars as much as I currently do, and maybe soon I might just phase the game out of my system all the way. I get tired of arguing with people about things. People read things into the wrong context, give things to much weight, and cant seem to realize what the true meaning of many post are...
But I understand you, and I feel the same way, but we both know that as long as their is competition smack talk will never die out.
Holding on...for now

Shady, LMAO, I have looked at WoW - screen caps, etc. and the game does look...AWESOME. However, I remeber when all your little TW Converts where playing EVE-Online telling us all, THIS GAME IS AWESOME, now I see you playing something else, and it doesnt seem like such a big deal.
But if I had a free copy...

dont Give up, your just going thru a phase, the every one hates me phase. it will pass like a stuck turd. in posts you will always be misunderstood, and miss quoted, and story twice told til thay are a differnt story. friends made and lost. but as for me i think its all worth it. But yes somtimes i feel why do i have to put up with the BS im better than that! so Keep your chin up, and look for the golden ISS
at the end of the Universe. [:D]

I'm no Expert on the subject. and im sure others here can explane better. But WoW to witch all the chat about. is the ONLINE version
of Worlds of Warscraft III, whitch i think was the worst of the series is III, II was cool. but thats just my opinion. Thay took the
PC Game and made it online. DIABLO II RULES. you know you want to play.

I can't imagine playing yet another online game outside of TW's! Do you people ever sleep? and where do you find the time to play?
