I don't think it's a troll problem, I think it's more of a shit in the gaming industry problem. Think to DAoC, Mythic did not have their own forums for example so VN was teeming withj folks who wanted to communicate about the game. There was a great community here for DAoC. Now enter WoW with their own forums and numerous other sites that have forums. And frankly since as far as I can tell VN spread more word of mouth than actually advertising...there's precious little of that going anymore.
/trade me: Dude! Everyone come hang out on VN with me!!
/trade troll1: What's VN?
/trade troll2: you don't have enoughg old to afford me.
/trade troll3: That's what she said!
Yeah ok, someone pick a server and I'll come Cawkphlophonay trade with you. Frankly I personally like Deathwing.
