general sense of unhappiness

Lately it seems to most people I've talked to have stated some reason for being unhappy ingame.

Reasons vary from friends fighting with mutual friends, inactive alliance mates, former alliance mates that scammed previous alliances for resources, big-time and small-time cheats that nothing are done about, as well as just getting tired of others taking the game too personally.

Given all these things, why do we stay? Right now I'm looking to hear you stay in the game instead of selling off and quitting.

For me I guess I stay b/c I'm bored. I know I have stayed or returned due to friends that still play the game.

So why do you stay?

Re: general sense of unhappiness

I stay because of the bonds i've made in the game and the good friends i've met.

Otherwise sometimes we do make the mistake of taking things to seriously, all of us...

But i am not quitting this game just yet ... I like it here ...

Re: general sense of unhappiness

I stay because of You, ZK, FS, LLS, AE, and a lot of other ppl i don't wanna even start typing becuse they're too many.

I think this is a great game, which creates friends and enemies, it keeps you away from boredom, but doesn't unecessarily take you hours and hours per day like WOW or smth.


I love you all, Easy^

Friends, yeah. Your good self included, Taxo.

And of course there's my cunning plan to outlast everybody else and eventually be the best on both servers.

Re: general sense of unhappiness

I want to get back in top 100, that's why I stay! :lol:
I could use my time for other things, I know it, so reason above is one of biggest ones :-D
I don't stay because I've not other things to do, but because I want to feed my ego :lol: :lol:
Since alot of people left, or are pretty unactive, the "sgw friends" part well not so important as before...

Re: general sense of unhappiness

Generally people take the politics too seriously, invest too much value in their game and throw away bonds due to actions ingame. They lose sight of the real meaning of all this. A game set about a common interest (stargate) which is both enjoyable and provides an enviroment in which to meet and befriend similiar minded people.

At the moment i'm playing for fun and i'm playing for friends and although i can't say I haven't lost some along the way, overall this community and Jason's creation has been a worthwhile experience.

Oh and <3 my Buck. Can't forget the main reason people play :D

Re: general sense of unhappiness

Hehe, I stay because there are still a small few things i must do ingame...

Mostly i stay because of my forum, yes i used it in the sense that it is mine but, For a time i was the only mod active, for a time i was its scurge, but our paths have always crossed, i feel that, weather it may sound big headed to you, if i where to leave the forum mostly would just get worse than it is now, which is why you often see me makeing sily threads, and generally being naughty in a silly kinda way...It is still my mission to keep the forums alive....With Smiles :-D

Oh and My friends play a huge part in it as well, though so many appear to be leaveing day by day :(

Re: general sense of unhappiness

At one point I considered quitting, but there are some amazing people I've met because of this game. So I stayed, living up to my goal of not quitting until the CoP and EPA disbanded. Now I stay with for the women :wink: :lol:
