Skopje, 3 July (Novinky) â€”Â From time to time, the citizens can witness a wave of comments regarding national and ethnic issues. Understandable for a reason because the basis of the game consists of nations and a concept of conquesting territories, bonuses, etc.

But,with this comments, we can also see offensive comments about one or another country, especially after some big battle. That is the reason, why â€˜Novinkyâ€™ conducted a poll named Should real life interfere in the game, with pair of questions regarding this topic.

Things and issues from real life shouldnt be mixed and shared across the game chat, like national and ethnic issues, majority of respondents consider. This is shown by the poll Novinky conducted three days ago.

More precisely, 61% or 42 citizens thinks this, and around 25% or 17 citizens think the opposite. Meanwhile, 13% or 9 answered maybeand 1 citizen doesnt know.

The percent of respondents who claim that have seen such an issues till now, based on racial, national, religious hatred in the game chat is high at 76%, with 52 people agreeing. In the meantime, 12% or 8 players havent seen something like that, andÂ 9% or 6 people answered maybe.

One of the citizens is saying that he doesnâ€™t mind gentle comments, but, he adds that â€˜when it drifts into abuse and outright xenophobia it needs to be dealt withâ€™.

Real life issues should stay outside the game, considers one of the citizens who responded at the poll.

â€œWe are here to have a bit of fun, not to spread hate across the web. People can do that somewhere else if they want, here they should be punished if neededâ€, he adds.

A player who responded in the poll says that â€˜moderation should be usedâ€™ and that â€˜ethnic speech should never be usedâ€™.

â€œI do not believe stricter enforcement should be done, in fact I believe the admins have been too quick to judge in many instancesâ€, he adds.

In the meantime, other citizen explains that there are too many occurrences where real life interferes in the game.

â€œThe outcome is just too much hate and racism towards each other and both sides should be punished. Still, you cannot prevent it because of human nature. The best way to lower that as much as possible is to punish those players who cannot stick with the rules. This is a game and we should rest from the RL and not bring RL problems and frustration hereâ€, he believes.

One of the citizens warns that the problems does not have to do with comments or posts only, saying that but also avatars and pictures on articles.

On the other side, other player underlines that eDom is a national identity game, and that it literally cannot exist without the real life nationalism, since its what fuels this type of games most of the time.

Another player is on the same line regarding this, explaining that we all are patriots in the game, otherwise we cannot play. And we all are little or more
nationalist.

â€œIm involved too with this problem (I want to be honest). Not all the foul is on the other side, but when I see provocations I cant stay and watch. I never did
it first, only when see others making provocations and bullingâ€, is just one of the comments in the poll.

One of the dozens responses criticizes that â€˜game mechanics should changeâ€™.

â€œMake people fight for things about the game instead of using RL problems in here. Edom doesnt look like a game right now. Is basically a big hooligans street fight. Bonuses mean nothing in the present days, nobody fight for that anymore, and changing its rarity didnt solve anythingâ€, he considers.

â€˜Novinkyâ€™ also asked the â€˜Adminâ€™ for a comment on the intolerance and hate speech on ethnic and national base. Also, we asked that if â€œThreatens, harasses, or bullies or encourages others to do soâ€ which is part of the rules, and forbidden in the game, can be interpreted as a prohibition of the national and ethnic intoleranceÂ messages, and requested a comment if there is enough done by their side for this issue.

However, the â€˜Adminâ€™ shortly replied that there is nothing he have to comment, because the rules setted are not open to comment.

It is worth noting that there is another information box next to the chat, which is saying Having a conversation related to real-life or insulting/discriminating and any kind of abusive speech will end up being punished.

Yet, the majority of citizens, 61% or 42 people answered that its not enough done to prevent and punish such occurrences, and 10% or 7 players thinks that itâ€™s done enough. 14 players, or 20% answered â€˜maybeâ€™.

The majority 72% or 52 people also thinks that the admin should punish more often and be proactive on such issues, while 12% or 8 players donâ€™t think he should punish more often.

Almost half of the respondents or 46%, 31 players have problem with this phenomenon, 33% donâ€™t, and 10 players or 15% answered â€˜maybeâ€™.

The poll which Novinky published, has gathered 69 responses (as of the first question), and was shared across all our communication channels, as well as constantly shared into the game chat the previous two days.

yes if you do that almost an entire community from a specific country with a flag similar to japan will cease having a reason to play this game.
