Reasons why people stay here.

SuperStarx · 11/19/2007 21:38:52

List 5 reasons why people stay and some go? Hopefully the right eyes will be watching this and make changes for the better.....

Also what are some things that could be done to brighten up the game some on everyone behalf?

Stay:

- People
- Fun
- Roleplaying

Go:

- So called "lack of content"

Croesis · 11/20/2007 01:42:07

Stay:

Community
Friends
Storyline
Roleplaying
Challenges to overcome (Such as to be mentioned in an archive, gain a perpetual item, gain recognition for being good in a certain field)
PvP
Based in semi-reality (ie not a fantasy setting, dwarfs, warriors, wizards etc...)
I suppose a sense of loyalty to the game
Want to see what gets done next content wise

Go:

Friends leaving
Frustrating ineptitude at certain aspects of the game (ie PvP, RP)
Slow addition of content
Recycled content
Financial reasons
Belief that MxO won't last much longer
Low number of players
New Games coming out for PC and console
Other MMO's with attractive content and large number of players..

Is what I can think of right now.

Other MMO's with attractive content and large number of players. (I sometimes see myself looking at WoWs second Expansion content and think 'Hmmm', but I dont want to! Mabey if the Ghost in the Shell MMO was released outside of Japan...)

A lot of Vinia's feelings were the same as mine, just did a bit of editing, deleting and twisting.

The Syntax community, in its entirity. SMILEY

Tiango · 11/20/2007 09:22:26

The people with a big heart for the community and the game itself stay.

The people that leave have a big heart for the community but not for the game itself.

The only which unbalances this is the money, which is like 5% of a Monthly wage anyway ^_^

This is where we shun Sphairo for being a non-believer.

And not saying our names.

But mainly the faith thing!

Why do they stay?
In the roleplay aspect, the setting makes it very easy for people to immerse themselves in, many those who wouldn't have tried roleplaying before. It's so easy because its you, in this world - the idea of putting yourself in the matrix world is something very appealing.
I remember watching the trailer for the game, and how excited it made me to join the game, to become part of the matrix.
It still has a soft spot in my heart. :)

In the community aspect, there are some wonderful people here, people with talent, people worth getting to know. Never would I have thought I'd be having some deep philosophical discussion of the matrix with someone until sunrise. There are people you meet here that become like family, and those that stay do so because in a way this is a home, this community a family - those that stay do so not because of what the game is, but how people make it.

Why do they go?
As with any large gathering of people with different personalities, not everyone gets along. On the internet, it is easy to poke fun at people without considering their feelings - that they too are human. Some people see this game differently, and unconsciously expect others to see their perspective. It's natural. A group of people looking at a painting will easily break into an argument over what they see - but you can't see what someone else sees unless you stand where they have. You can only see what you see, which is different from what other see, some only slightly, others moreso.

Eh, I don't want to rant too much, but I think I said what I wanted to say. :)

Snipe_104 · 12/03/2007 03:44:41

Why I stay:

Good community
Live events
Content
And cause I plain just choose to

Why to leave?
Many reason but most which I play ignorance to.

I don't think so. It is within the required parameters. So--FYI, KMA.

FYI - L2P It was too big.
