One of the major drawbacks with Heroes of Newerth has always been it's community and what we old men and women over here refer to as "lollerkids" run rampant. The only way previously to deal with this has been to add them to your banlist and that way those players cannot join games that you create.

It looks good to me, it's a feature that has been surely needed to clean up the language and attitude of the game. Do not missunderstand me, I am not the one to run to dad and tell, but there has to be some major adjustments to the tone in the game community to ensure the games success both commercially and as an e-sport. Seeing top-end teams call people "jews" on a live broadcasted tournament leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and the worst part so far is that noone has actively spoken out about it and naturally those that did, were abused.
The only thing I seem to miss is the ability to report a player without a matchID - For example if any of the above takes place in the game lobby, or the ability to report a few of those not-so-clever nicknames on your banlist.
I think it will take a while before we see any effects from this system, but I profoundly hope that we can clean up the game a little bit and it can be a better representative for us computer nerds and e-sports as a whole.
We played EverQuest on the Mithaniel Marr server.
We played DAoC on the Kay server.
We played Lineage II on the Bartz server.
Bloodhoof was our PvE alternative to Stormreaver.
We played Aion on Perento.
We played on Karak-Hirn but later forced to move to Karak-Norn
High attendance raiding alternative to casual Nordrassil.
Rift was mostly PvE focused due to the design of the game.
