Lessons learnt so far as a new player.

[Enkidu]

I think cliques and elitism are one and the same really; groups of players who think they're above everyone else

Good point. I think it can also be more complex than that. Groups of people who assume other people are manipulating the server in some way, or not playing the game/RPing/etc the way "I would do it", so they assume that any enjoyment the other group is having, or advancement of their own stories, is undeserved.

They then start to create elaborate explanations for how they could have got into that undeserved position. This can be something banal like 'activity'. There's a curious discovery belief that the more active any one person is, the worst they are. Often it's because they see more of the person so they have more of an opportunity to formulate a set-in-stone opinion.
