see that's where the OP should have been more specific, i also thought originally with the title of the thread he meant "which fanbase is the most undouchelike and awesome to join out there"TornadoFive said:
in which i was questioning why the hell you put morrowind in there, as the person who quoted you exactly portrayed every single bit of elitism i have received from pro-morrowindists
OT:
depending on if you mean loyal/nice?
i would roughly say minecraft..but not too heavy on it, sure it has it's douchebags but it seems to be way more helpful/loyal than most customer/fanbases around other games/series
if you meant huge/adding content/still alive fanbases?
probably team fortress or some other valve game that people leech off of consistently until they die
I don't much care for any fanbase, actually. They tend to ruin the experience for everybody else, one way or another. Constant complaining, whining, entitled children who want everything for the price they paid for their copy of said game. Thing is, they're just one of the many people who bought the game. This example may have gone on a bit too long without noting a specific game or genre, so I'll end it on a strong note:
Marvel vs Capcom.
Waaah, I want this character to be playable!!
Waaah, why is this character playable but not this character?!?
Waaah, this character is broken!! Capcom sucks!!
Seriously? Just shut up and play the damn game. It's great and fine the way it is.

IMO, as far as FPS games go I'd go with Halo. Looking at Red vs Blue and the groups that I get lumped with, there are a lot of people (but not everyone) who just want to play to have a good time.
Then I try Call of Duty and everyone is fluent in profanity but me.

Of the forums that I've signed up on, the Neverwinter Nights community. Because I was writing scripts at the time, the questions I had were either answered or even had the code written for me as long as I was clear about what I wanted to do. No kick in the nads, no "go watch the tutorials and figure it out, ya nOOb."
I've found that a lot of games with a large emphasis on modding have nicer fanbases. It probably has something with group critiquing and helping each other leading to a fanbase more accepting of new players (because no one starts modding and then suddenly becomes an expert).
The Heretic/Hexen fanbase.
What's that you say? You can't hear them?
Exactly.
Quiet fanbase, content to add to the games and tinker with them while Doom gets a bit more fanfare. If the Doom fanbase is saintly, the Heretic/Hexen fanbase is even more so. Nice folks that love their game, nothing more, nothing less.

No such thing as a good fanbase.
They inevitable fall into one of the following:
a) Unwelcoming. "How dare you be new to this game, you fucking n00b!"
b) Fawning Fanboy. "Oh God this game is the best ever, it's so deep and symbolic and I cry every time whatshername dies."
c) Elitist. "The game I like is better than the game you like and I am a better person because I like it."
And that's not even counting the good old garden-variety arseholes.
Who knows, maybe Farmville fans are really nice...

It is possible to like one game and the whole series but every person seems to feel like they need to point out that their favourite FF is better than 7 and it gets irritating.aww yea said:
Yea. I?ve had very few problems with the Borderlands fanbase. I?ve played with people I hardly know and they?ve handed over all sorts of wonderful rare guns & shields as well as items that had to have been modded. Also it?s a co-op game which kind of forces you to work together.dyre said:
I?m also impressed by the amount of work Fallout 3 fans put into their mods. Some really cool stuff out there; next I plan on getting the Vault 77 Hand to Hand-puppet to clear out Paradise.
Yeah, I guess I wasn't very specific, and that's mainly because it could be anything. If you like it because of devotion to the game or politeness, anything in their favor that really stands out will do. Sorry about being kind of vague.gmaverick019 said:
Captcha was "Eliza uricep".
Yeah, Eliza, you're such a cep.
I'm seconding Minecraft (Griefers do not count as part of the fan base). Even though it's still in Beta people have done so many amazing things with it. A lot of creative and and imaginative people have been drawn to it vice the other side of the spectrum for a lot of the more mainstream 'destructive' instead of 'creative' games.
