So why are you still playing the game?

Well seeing that there is so much flaming and hate in here and seeing how the forums have been going downhill and how people only seem to be frustrated, I have been asking myself that question quite often recently.

The answer is quite simple: the community (not some numbers on the screen). As long as there are still people around who make this community fun, it's still worth it :) Just to make a positive thread for a change, I will name a few of those who make me stick around:

GeneralChaos - for being a good friend and the one to introduce me to the drug that SGW is
RobinInDaHood - for his wicked sense of humour and being a great friend to talk to
RepliJake - for so many reasons ;)
Huxley - because saving his ass has always been fun...
buck - for being buck (there's no words to describe that)
David Hasselhoff - for being the hoff :P
EnterTheLion - for his great commitment to the community and his sense of humour
S T I - because his posts are always constructive, respectful and actually make sense
Bad Wolf - for saying what he thinks in a most refreshing way
REK - for being the SGW pimp and the most sympathetic spammer ever
EliteAceMan - for still making me feel bad about leaving DD
GenLucky - for eventually (you know you want to) returning to the game to give me that spanking he promised :P
High Empty - for being a dirty little weirdo
All of Omega - for being awesome
The Mod Team - for all the effort they are putting into this community
My enemies - for sending me pms that are cracking me up
Everyone who's making me laugh - for making me laugh :lol:

Pretty sure I forgot 99% of the reasons I'm still playing... but hey who reads too long posts anyway... :lol:

So why are you still playing?

Refreshing ? hhmmm thank you.

I stay in this game for many reasons, but mainly for the people.

They make the game what it is for me anyway.

Love you all

I play for the distraction for work. I do not really play for the people because I have this complex where I do not consider internet people to be REAL people. Fun stuff.

Good question, it's been tempting to just sell my account and move on :)

I play mainly for my friends and my alliance.

To name a few:

sub_zero, Robe, Bad Wolf, Holdfast, Grimgor, darlec1974, Oumar, Ossetian, Sha_Ark, Acronon, Mågius, Lore, Lorien, JedimasterX, Elven Archer, TC, dundee etc.

+ CiA HC and the rest of CIA and especially BWP/BWB of course.

I probably forgot a few, sorry :( ..
