alright, i'll be frank: i'm skeptical of any community that advertises to be non-toxic, let alone like a family. those things are pretty much geared into my head as 'as a whole the community is terrible, i'll be friends with the ones who also know the community is terrible.'

my criteria for a community to be 'terrible' is simple: are they all obnoxious, rude, and uncaring what others think? (eg: WoW trade chat) The community is terrible, make a close knit set of friends and complain on skype or guild chat.

the ToME community has blown me away when it comes to kindness, sincerity, and camaraderie between players. the only reason i planned on joining was to get access to the portal vault. however, i ended up having some trouble--i was planning on collecting all the unique uniques (such as prisma wyrm hide, radiance, staff of absorption...those things). I didn't realize I only got 3 slots bc donation perks.

here's where The Real MVP(tm) comes in: user stuntofthelitter. i don't think i've met a more sincerely good person in a lifetime of gaming. going so far as to buying AoU for me within 15 minutes of talking, i was a bit in grateful shock. and then they do the same thing for several others within a half hour.

the next few hours were honestly a blast talking to the community while i played. ive only been part of ToME for a matter of hours, but i feel like i'm gonna be staying here for quite a while :)

cheers!
