Not to educate you or tell how to act in this case - but seriously, will you allow one troll/griefer impact your decision without even trying? Game will come only after months. Don't jump to conclusions. By the way this forum have ignore list too. Very handy if you ask me. Use it well
Just try a little bit when game comes out and see what's happening.
In other postings in other threads I have already mentioned that my "real game" would very likely be in SP Offline mode (meaning not even having Universe updates). I'm understandably curious about MP and would come online to chat and make friends and have a look. I expect my ED gaming would look like this - 95% SP offline, 5% MP (you can search if you want to, I'm not lying). So, there's no "impact" at all. This has all along been my plan.
I do plan to come online to see what's happening, and, if the community is similar to Evochron's (being that the entire game is open-PvP as being the similarities), I might move my "real game" online.
My participation in this thread is to voice the other side of MP - guys who just wanna make friends, go on quests together and have no interest in PvP whatsoever. MP to people like me is a "social club" not an Arena. Apparently that point got lost, or I didn't make that point clear enough. Everyone tells me to avoid this, avoid that, how MP is played, group rules and so on.
True enough, game is not released, no one knows for sure how MP is really going to be like, and my points do not seem to be made or understood, I concede and thus leave you all to your MP discussions and how it should be played.
