I believe the person to blame for this person's suicide rests solely on the person who commited suicide.
The fact that it was over in game items only reinforces that. And assumin…

Totally agree with you about judging a person based on a fictional persona.
Lets look at what he did a real person though.

You are so wrong on so many counts that it would take me much longer than I am willing to spend to help you sort out your mixed up ideas. Let me start by posting this:

Hitting someone's ships in game is not bullying, using a public platform to call on people to do so in game with the stated aim of trying to get him to kill himself is a form of bullying, quite simple, comparing it…

EVE is a game about blowing up each others stuff. Someone who can't grasp that really needs to find a new game to play. Anyone who threatens suicide over the loss of assets in this game really really needs to find a new game to play.
I personally…
I know it's kind of late to reply to this but in case anyone else is reading.
What the hell did you expect? All MMO's are grind fests.
Name one MMO that doesn't have some sort of grinding. Even in EVE which has offline training you have to …
First yeah we did ask for raiding. Raiding was something people wanted from as far back as beta. Raids have been a part of EQ from that far back so to pretend that the existence of raids was something forced upon the player population against our wi…
Yes it's still going relatively strong. Not much of a newbie population (which is not surprising considerng how little effort Sony commits to marketing it) but it's now at like 13 expansion with another do in November. They are switching to a yearly…
Once agani just a bunch of empty rhetoric and anecdotes from a small number of people with a bone to pick. Absolutely no evidence to back their assertions up and a convineint conspiracy theory to explain the lack of said evidence.

No one cares. No one plays this game. All the old school EQ 1 community play on Shards of Dalaya. A lot of new people have been joining up as well. It is sort of like a reunion and interesting to run int…
Here we go again lots of inuendo and a couple of anecdotes from a few anonymous internet posters who don't actually play the game anymore going on about all the hacking with completely unsubstanciated claims of such BS as 70% of the population hacki…
What a bunch of crap.
Seriously you lead out with 70% is an understatement followed by mentioning the most marginalized server in the game as were most of the hackers live. I'd be amazed if Zek represented 1% of the active population of EQ.

4) Lastly, and most importantly, raids just are not fun. I could forward you to the NY times article about how 85ish% of players said raiding was not fun. I could argue that spending hours upon hours geting read…
Perhaps it was just your guild, I know my guild takes an extremely dim view on hackers/exploiters.
And it would make sense that the sort of people who were accepting of such things would tend to congregate together.
Still the idea that any si…
Why anyone would have to hack to do the things you mention is beyond me. Most the mobs all spawn in the same place. between guild halls books and the magus travel is pretty trivial. Maybe hacking is rampant and I'm just not noticing it but honestl…
