I am sick and tired of experienced players turning their back on new players. I admit, i was one of them. i sighed whenever someone with low hours was president and said "metaland" in OOC whenever someone asked where the chef was, back then i saw nothing wrong with it.
After being met by new players asking for help and time, i realized what i was doing. When someone asked where XYZ merchant was i answered like people should, not meta but that (s)he should use /pm or look around the city. It was when i changed i saw how mean this community was against new players, how me and many, MANY others at the time treated them.
I feel many of us have changed, when joined there were nothing but META! and METALAND! in response (this is from MY OWN personal expeirence, your may differ). Not everyone but many players now respond like someone that wants to help and we have to continue going this way. We are open, lets keep it that way.
If you read this and are one of them who say "meta" or "metaland" in OOC to these kinds of situation; How would you feel if you were new to a server and got that response, would you be engaged to pursue that community or would you think about leaving to find a potentialy better one?
TL;DR Think before you type
