Yeah, and it's a lot easier to see enemies as actual people if you can talk with them. In WoW each faction hates each other and I think this is why; they're some silent, remorseless enemy.

Without hate tells it just wouldn't be the same

The only hatetells I ever got were from cloakers and roamcell.

Sadfaceee.

So the key to lots of hate tells is to play VS and live in Australia?

and also be a pilot, that adds lots of hate, even when not in a reaver. Also use a thumper, well.

I made a crappy collage a few years ago. I certainly have more than this. Still funny none the less. If hate tells aren't in the game I will seriously cry. I can't wait to school some CoD kiddies on their Hewlett Packard's.

And before anyone goes crazy, I'm not trying to wave my shlong around, just posting an example of why rage induced internet people are hilarious.

Thumper is a unfair comparison as half of that hate will be from your own empire.

@D2A: Fun to see Mchief's4char on there, when I joined his outfit on my NC because I wanted to leach XP I learned that he apparently really respected me. His whole outfit did. I was kind of confused.

oh yea I have way more these are just the ones from in like 2007. i do like crossrealm talk, it does entertain me, but i can see why it could possibly, go without it, yea people just do hate eachother more, while i get hate from alot of people, i still talk to some people on tr and nc.

Another problem with crossrealm chat is if somebody is easily offended its just more work for mods with reporting people and shit.

oh lol you got inspector hate tell too, guess they're nothing special, i swear the guy sends about 4 different hate tells eachtime he dies.

I dunno, I see more cross faction hate in games like WoW that disallow it than in Planetside.

In WoW it's not directed at any one person, but there's a lot more other faction hate.

Thats because horde players think they are important because they arn't pretty (ignore belfs).

I struck up a conversation with an NC player that I "killed"... they were standing still for a long period of time so I waited, and waited, nothing happened. So I shot them with my stolen Mag-scatter. I sent them a tell, and they were playing.

On another part of the game.

Turns out, it was some sort of weird server echo or something. Kinda like a cicada molts and leaves a dead skin clone behind? I don't know how to explain it. That's what I had shot, which was why it didn't die. Turns out, anyway, that it was a female player. Natalie. We started talking frequently, then she gave me her out-of-game contact info. We started talking there. That's all I'm going to say.

Killed people like that a bunch of times, I'd always heard them called ghosts. Although it happens to me a bunch too :/

Of what? Me driving across three states so we could get together, have coffee, and then go hand out Bibles down at the YMCA?
