Celtic Heroes

This topic is really about gaming ethics and tactics. Sometimes they do not mix. A good tactic like farming in an area where your enemies lix may not seem ethical but perfectly legit. Common courtesy is not so common in a game. In fact, one can argue it does not apply in a game. This is a virtual world not real life.

This is a game, played for fun, trying your best to make others' game experience as miserable as possible in an mmorpg is borderline sociopathic. Healthy, respectful competition can exist. Ethics come into play in any social system, virtual or not, there are real people behind their toons, believe it or not.

I'm curious who this rival clan is. Is lix sabotage only happening to those in the rival clan? Whether justified or not, revenge only ever seems to escalate any issue in life. Not saying I agree either way but I can see it from both sides. In general though, people have always had an unspoken courtesy regarding lix in my in-game encounters.

Common courtesy is not so common in a game. In fact, one can argue it does not apply in a game. This is a virtual world not real life. You do not get death sentence killing countless people in arena. But that does not mean u kill indiscriminately. Kill only selectively and do not kill the innocent. Innocent means someone who is not in your rival clan who are out to get you banned or who harbours traitors from my clan. Sometimes that means kill everyone who is not in your clan. Farm in areas where your enemies lix. Inflicting pain and frustration on your enemies in a game is part of the strategy to stay strong. It so happens my clan and I are strong and we dominate the server. It could have been the other way round. But we deserve to dominate because of our commitment, unity, teamwork and strong leadership. And I could have been at the other end of the stick. And this could happen if a rival clan becomes dominant. So, we do what we must to thwart our arch enemies in the game subject to otm game rules, to prevent our enemies advancing in the game. Not easy but we try hard. As a clan we make sure we r united and help each other. We whip the slackers and free riders once a while but we still love them like parents who cane their children for their own good. Occasionally we have traitors but that is fine. Part and parcel of life. Just need to deal with it as part of the game. Never be too philosophical about ethics in a game. Know what you are in it for. Do what you like. But whatever you do expect what you will get. Then you can enjoy the game wholeheartedly. And Celtic heroes is one awesome game. Back to farming where my enemies lix and making sure they do not get their gladiators. Be a kid, let loose your beasty killing instinct, be a fiery Celtic Hero! Or you can choose to be a good farmer like me.

Yep.
@OP , i have few things i wanna say to u :

1. Just because OTM doesnt do anything against griefing it doesnt mean u should do that, OTM also doesnt really handle scammers, are u going to scam? Or perhaps u have done that already? (Excuse me for my questions being so direct, i would rather show u the worst to make u understand something like that).

2. U said that we cant speak without knowing the history of Arawn, if so, why did u post this thread? Did u look for us to justify u?

3. In order to make ur post objective u need to explain us what u know and we dont know and not present it as if u just logged out for few hours and ur simply farming because its legit, while there are multiple places to lvl at any range of lvl, there are more places to farm at, so im assuming u had a reason behind this.

4. Griefing isnt the same as killing, also i believe u dont kill ur rivals just so they wont get their gladiators, u prob kill them regardless if they need their glad or not (which is ok by some) so i dont think ur using tactic here, if anything i dont think ur using a reason more than ur using ur instinct, eye for eye is pretty much what ur doing, while it is fair and legit u cant speak bad of someone griefing u if u grief them back.

A griefer is a player in a multiplayer video game who deliberately irritates and harasses other players within the game, using aspects of the game in unintended ways.[1] A griefer derives pleasure primarily or exclusively from the act of annoying other users, and as such is a particular nuisance in online gaming communities, since griefers often cannot be deterred by penalties related to in-game goals.[2]
