    Hey, what's wrong with Mountain dew?

    Still, I love it. Life dose get in the way sometimes.
    "Impatience walks with disaster." My own phrase.

    "Let the winds of winter come. I fear not famine, nor blizzard, nor an army of predators. For I am wolf. My power is matched by the many that stand beside me. Come what may. I have faced it before, and it has yet to touch me." *The Alpha's Warning*

    Hahahaha....I love it!

    Try leading 100-125 of them, with the rest of the 50-75 as adults who act like little teenagers in an online game.

    I don't know what I was thinking. And still to this day, they QQ about how I left them with a fruit because I had to move across several states and get re-situated in life.

    *sigh*

    Finding an all adult faction is next to impossible though :-/

    nope, not even hard. b:victory we don't do TW or really any PvP, though, so that might be a dealbreaker for you.

    and yeah, i can identify with that comic strip so very easily... been there, done that, need to whip up the t-shirt to sell on cafepress, bet i could make a profit...

    Having played on Arch for a couple months myself, I'd have to agree... on that server. <_>



    But anyway. Nice link OP. Though in our game the lines used by the kiddie hoard would probably have been more like... "no, srsly guys, I totally have a job and a girlfriend and a car and a life and a six figure salary, im only kickin ur *** cause im BORED LOLOLOL. [insert chuck norris joke here]"

    Funny thing about kids online, y'know... they lie. A lot. >_>

    That is exactly why I try to keep my faction 18+. I'm aware that some people under 18 can be more mature than people over 18 and that a lot of the adults in this game act like cracked out tantrum throwing three year olds on a sugar crash but, what can you do. I'm starting to think I should put a psychological exam on my faction application. >_>

    That's kinda unfair, there are tons of nerdy single guys who are technically "grown-ups" that play this game, and act the same as the "younger" players ~__~

    Your not grown up unless you can act and look the part. It takes a multitasker, which when the 2nd task those nerds think is increasing the e-peen.... they don't reach that level of maturity :p

    25+ is better, in my opinion. That gives them 4 years to get used to being able to drink legally and learn how to do it without making complete fools of themselves in vent/faction chat. Granted, many will never learn, but at least they had the opportunity.

    I've had too many things ruined by the "OMG I'm sooooo wasted hehehehe omg I have no idea what's going on I'm so wasted omg I can't believe I screwed up that pull that I've done a billion times it's just because i'm sooooo wasted lawlz."

    It's also good fun to get ordered around by some kid on a power trip when I'm old enough to be his mother. b:scorn

    (reads comic)

    This is seriously the sad truth......


    Which of course is why I prefer adult non-TW factions, I tend to get too much raging and begging from anyone under age 17 mostly.

    However out of factions, since I stay out of PK zones, I see most of this in lv80+ FC squads.......

    Best part of what you said is that you assume I don't realize thatb:laugh.But hey I was specifically talking about Enrage not all of HT in general.

    Love the comic. Best part for me, though, is having someone ingame flirt with you, which I avoid like the plague and block/nip in the bud, and then breaking it to them that I might in fact be old enough to be their mother. After which, of course, I'm either told to GTFO because no adult should play this game, or a "lolz u just say that to get rid of me :D", in which case I just blacklist and move on.
