I'm stunned and shocked that there isn't more neener neener, After all what other purpose could COAD possible serve? Other than circle jerking that is.

well there was a time when enemies actually had a discussion on the forums and posts of more then 1 line in reply were in common. In this time some ppl roleplayed actual "pilots" with certain special habits like jade, j0sephine, Xirtam and weirda and even Molle as the evil dictator. Nowadays you only get "fofofo" spam and silly oneliners and the boards contain no real information anymore.

A few exceptions made (actually BE and Shin Ra are top notch) uve no real characters left anymore. The discussions of nez perez, digi and the likes, albeit sometimes filled with bitter hatred, but nevertheless well educated and witty get drowned in altspam, idiotposts and simple spam. Combined with an attitude of "we dont care about the game, the lore, the atmosphere. We are only in for giggles and a dramabombs to stroke our epeens". Even the holiest of all rules "never damage the company whos game u play" is broken regularly and smearcampaigns and threadnoughts dictate the "new eve".

The maturity has severly decreased -in general- tho i can say certain parties had their hands in it more then others. For those who dont care it will prolly be water in the mills, but i miss the "more serious" eve. In which reputation, ehonor and playing good or bad (nevertheless playing a character) had a meaning above "hahahah fofofofo new ship hahahhaha".

But as ive seen in the FLA thread and in hardins threads. There is still atleast a modest core of ppl who play and see the game in the same way and enjoy the same values. Characters like Ginger Magician, Stavros, Zap, Ragnar, Jade and even Xirtam can never be replaced by some youngsters enjoying "lawless internet" and acting like jackasses. Atleast in my opinion about this wonderfull game. Hence ure right Coad changed, not for the better in my view of things.

P.S. im not saying in the days of old there wasnt spam, or that there wasnt argueing. But the Coad had more temper, more emotions and more atmosphere.
