Dude, WHAT are you talking about?

Oh, my child, you have much to learn about the world of MMOs and their communities. A troll is a person who acts stupid in an attempt to get a rise out of you. They get a thrill out of it. In World of Warcraft, many players have... um... a "thing" for the Warlock's succubus. A simple way to troll these players is to say in the chat (usually trade for World of Warcraft), "omg wats with the sucubus? shes so ugly!" Always expect 1 player to take the bait. You'll get plenty of whispers and replies along the lines of "wtf is wrong with you," "ur gay," "go die," etc. As a troll, you have just succeeded in making people mad and you can laugh and pretend you just did something that matters. Another popular technique in MMOs is to trick the lonely guys playing it into thinking you are a woman. You flirt a little, lead them on, and when they tell you that they wanna date you, trolls simply go, "im a guy lol." This really messes with them and makes that lonely boy very angry and upset.

Griefing is another type of harassment. In this method, you pick a weak or susceptable target, and cosntantly PK (pl

What is Neo Steam?

Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent is a steampunk MMO. It takes place on a continent called Chrysalis, in which magic and science worked together, in harmony. Eventually, a powerful substance called "Neo Steam" is found by a subset of the Pom race known as the Maestros. This caused Chrysalis to enter a "Golden Age," a time perioud where technology and knowlegde can flourish and expand.

The King of Chrysalis, corrupted by his power, feared he would be overthrown by the Maestros. He banished them to an island where they continued developing Neo Steam technology. Suddenly, a gigantic earthquake rips the continent into 3 parts. The Taxn Alliance, the Republic of Rogwel, and the Kingdom of Elerd are formed respectively. All three countries suffer greatly until they dig up the ancient Maestros's technology, which they use with the power of Neo Steam to wage war against each other for power and control of the Neo Steam. That is where your story begins.

Character Creation

The character creation process is fairly simple. Before you create your first character, you are forced to choose between Rogwel and Elerd. I chose Elerd, for the sake of simplicity. Yo

Horror MMOs

     MMOs come in all flavors; Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Steampunk, Social (Such as Second Life), Post-Apocolyptic, FPS, and more! But a horror MMO, is it possible? Can there actually be a game, with millions of players, that are absolutely TERRIFIED? I sure hope so.

Current Attempts

    The only attempt I currently know of is Requiem: Bloodymare, and honestly? It just doesn't interest me. I've watched videos. Seen the monsters. Went to the website, registered, and installed it. But never once have I played it. Mainly because the videos didn't scare me. Maybe I should give it a chance, but unless you, the reader, can convince me to, I doubt it will stay installed on my computer for long.

REALLY? Blood + Big Monsters = horror? I don't think so Requiem, I don't think so.

My Ideas on a Horror MMO

    My first idea was about the monsters. I wanted monsters that were so unbelievably powerful that put up a real fight one on one. It would basically force you to band together with others in order to survive. Next, since monsters would require you to party, most classes would have party buffs that only take effect when in a par
