I worked on the completely pacifist MMO Meadow, you can't even write something offensive to each other in that game, instead of chat it has an emote system.
One day when I was logging in to test something a player used the only sound that could be interpreted as hostile (the lynx hissing sound) and was backing away from me repeating it for as long as I stayed, I was hypnotized by the time this poor soul was going through to try and make others feel uncomfortable.
To me that was enlightening, there must be some story about something positive with working with the most violent game ever, I wish Kotaku would try and dig that story out instead.
- antepodius 7y agoYou get that sort of thing all the time. Games in the genre of DayZ and Rust, where the default is trust no-body, shoot people on sight and loot the tins of beans off their corpses- every now and again, someone takes a newbie under their wing, or shows someone mercy when they didn't need to, or helps someone get revenge against someone that wronged them, and you get a great little story of kindness in a harsh world.
- nickpsecurity 7y agoEh, one of my favorites wasn't quite kindness but a kind person teaching a harsh world a lesson in a kind-ish way.
