Question
Can we make the game cost money again? Or at least bring back "registered only" servers? Seriously. When you make a game free you really bring in the idiots. Let them have their buyable colors and such but at least let the oldbies play with oldbies ONLY. [/rant]

I think the game is okay in my opinion though.

Anyone with a lesser intelligence usually. Assholes go in that category. Noobs usually go in that category but not always. We all know for a fact that everyone who has registration loves this game enough to pay for it. People who play it for free; don't care two shits about this place. They'll say anything they want, act any way they want. And PM a mod? That's like tattling. We shouldn't have to tattle on idiots. As for black belt servers. It doesn't take an intelligent person to play a certain number of matches. I liked the way things used to be around here. Before the newfag flood. Honestly I resent Hampa for choosing to let it be free. But it's his choice and I still have an insurmountable amount of respect for him but at least give us a haven.

hmmm i'm not sure i would have got the game to start with if it wasnt free...

now if i had to pay to keep on playing, i would.. but i think that making it free enlarges the community, which has to be good for the game.. but "subscribers only" servers dosnt sound like a bad idea.

I know I don't have much to say but I think you just have to deal with it :/

Here's the thing though. We can make a difference. Simply allow like 4 "registered only" servers AT LEAST. So people who really care about the game can play there.

I still agree with part of it being free. But in runescape concept; some free, some purchased. I would pay monthly (you heard me monthly) $20 to have access to registered only servers.

$20 dosent sound too high. I think i agree with you on this one; waiting in an 8 person long queue of whitebelts dq ing themselves to play some toribash...= not so fun..

Hampus can still get all the same amount of money. It's jsuta barrier I'm looking for. I'm sure most of the money goes towards server costs (oh god server costs T_T) but this is necessary to keep people interested. If newbs dont get pwnt by ancients they stay. If ancients don't have to deal with assholes they stay. Win/Win.

That might help.

The texture thing would DEFINITELY filter out lesser peoples. Anything that distinguishes the truly dedicated and the trolls.

The texture idea sounds great -- i'm still a bit n00b so i wouldnt be playing in those servers for a while, but i'd like to think that when i get better there are "higher class" servers .

Usually # of games played can indicate this, but some newbies really just play a lot because they have no lives, and some great people just don't play many games.
So, what we're looking for is something that can make that distinction. Iunno. I can't think of any single one thing that can.

BUT, maybe let's take this back another step. You're complaining about people acting stupid. Do they do this with their tori characters when fighting? No, they do it by opening their mouths. So the simplest solution is /ignore. Seriously. Just add another file with a list of ignored people and reference that to block messages.
If the noobs really want to blabber and use /em to talk, well, they'll probably just get their asses kicked so fast you don't have to deal with it until next time their fighting. And when they lose that attention inbetween, they'll just stop. I don't think they would stick around for 8 people to go through que just to curse you out for a minute then lose.

well there's a very good point. 8 people to go through. That in itself can be avoided with reg servers. I don't know how long you've been around but back in the day there was 3 beginner servers unregistered people could join and the rest like 15 or so were for registered people. Also to filter out DEDICATED players; SUBSCRIPTION like I suggested before. Other than that the ignore point seems valid enough but it has loopholes.
