why so serverist?
 
I feel that lots of people are serverist in the community, why hate on zone because they have less players? why hate on era because their players are "asses"? (NOT quoted by me), and why hate on classic because, well, i don't see why there is any reason to hate them. But my point is that the servers' communities should get along, and make one big, nice, and friendly community! maybe if the other servers were nice to era players, then they wouldn't be asses, and maybe if you guys would stop scaring people away from zone, then they would gain more players, classic doesn't really average out to be a bad community, it's more personal but if those particular people would stop being asses then we could all get along! #thegraalhippie

I just sounded like a hypocrite, didn't I?

I had neutral opinion of Delteria, and then I got to experience the joys of its staff/player attitude. Now I can't stand the server just out extension of those experiences, and avoid any topic about it like the plague.

Other than that, you'll get it because of bias/fanboyism. It's going to happen regardless of logic or reason. Same way you have people who hate on different games/consoles, you're going to have the same thing here.

It's a pity, because it's the sort of thing that happened way back when making your own server was a new thing. Then it dwindled away and servers started to respect each other, especially staff/devs, and it led to people being generally more helpful. People went from being selfish and caring only about their server to generally caring about Graal as a whole, and wanting better of it... but with the introduction iOS servers(and now Facebook and Android), it seems to have gone full circle and everyone being angry/ultra-competitive.

most people pay attention to the pros of a game that they play, and to the cons of a different game that they don't play which leads to arguments on which game is better, nobody pays attention to the cons of the game that they play themselves

Humans haven’t discovered the concept of getting along yet. The only time we were able to that was in the movie independence day when the aliens were going to fook us up.

Well in my experience, the staff seem to get along fine; irregardless of server. We have several guests on Era who are staff on other servers and many of our staff help cross-functionally on other servers as well. When new staff join from playing or working predominately on other Graal servers they are welcomed with open arms. It is normal for us all to hold some sense of personal pride for the server we work on but I think the staff are generally accepting of each other, the players, not so much. It's all rather interesting because in the end, there is no "competition" to warrant all of the hatred and putting down of other servers in the Graal family.

Zone and Era have always been sh*t. Don't deny it.
