Hi,
I have loved Regnum for 3 years. I like my realm, I like my characters. I'm not level 60 yet, so I still have some grinding to do. But everytime I log on, I feel like stopping immediately. For some reason I'm feeling really bored with the game, be it hunting, fort wars, realm wars, or grinding (naturally). I used to really enjoy the game, and that was even post WM and Horus' state of dying.Just asking... How the HECK do you guys play so long and get to 60? Everything seems to crawl along slowly. Tips? I don't really want to quit the game but I really have no incentive to play much.

+1, it all gets a bit monotonous after a while, give it a rest for a couple of weeks and you'll likely be itching for war again :)

I have. The occasional patch piques my interest, but so far I'm not playing more than 15 minutes a day. And so little can be done in that amount time. Wow quick replies

Yeah i took a break as well, playing an other game, maybe a game you played before RO.
And when you feel like logging on at RO again, you can try it again.

My advise is to take a break before the game really annoyes you

And i probably will take a break soon again as well

Well, RO took my life so I grinded marks in 5months straight without boosters :tonguey:(Yeah, no-lifer)

The only thing which helped me grind without getting bored is having some-one to grind with you.
I had a clan mate who went on his conjurer to help me grind to 60. We chat, laugh and die :D
I never got bored with him. Also, try to change locations, different than your realm. I've made pretty much from 53-57 out of Sytris territory.
That's the only tip I could give from my own personal experience.

That or take a break and relax a bit like Quincebo said.

Well I think almost everything has said above me here.
It's all about quitting and then returning to the game for more fun.
In the 3 years I have played RO I have at least quitted 15 times.. At least!
Sometimes a few days, sometimes a few weeks, the longest I have done without RO would be like 3 months. This game will get you soulbound to it, impossible to entirely quit it. Probably because of the fun community and the way you have to make friends to actually do something in game, RO is an one of a kind game you probably won't find fast.

Short summary, just quit and we'll see you next week :D.

Yeah, sometimes it gets boring, thats why I took a break with Regnum, a 4 weeks break without playing, now I enjoy playing 1 hour per day xD

Make char of every class, and switch them when you are bored with current one.

:) very good q.
someone noob told what i'm playing only for WM... two days ago i got WM on barb... nothing special.
why i still playing? maybe i play not often ... after hard work a bit... maybe i play random class chars :) now i trying conjurer... for me its interesting... i can't playing only one char.
for me... if i havn't hard (phisical, emotion) day - i can't playing lol

I got 6 chars and still feel the same way xD its just RO
I bet taking a real break for a while will make 'miracles' happen.

Afther that break you will be dying to talk to your realm mates again
and crush some new enemys in wz
(i actually once had the feeling that i wanted to grind O.o)

(also when you cant play the game/not allowed/not possible..
its much more fun to play it than when you have all the time in the world)

How to enjoy regnum 101

(Grinding)
Gather your xp in groups. Do area leveling vs 12 monster or more at the same time!

(Grinding)
Do it to see how many drops you can make and what drops are worth keeping.

(Hunting)
If you are not a hunter, hunting in horus can make you want to wish you were never born. Try going to areas where people love to train.
(Stone Hendge, Ignis Orc Camp, Alsius Ice Beach <behind Imperia>)

Tad extreme? Horus is extremely crap for hunting, unless you really love to gank people. ^^

On topic : Just don't play, do something else..go outside look at the gorgeous sky.

I'll never join Syrtis. Anyway, I'm laughing so hard right now because it seems like quitting is a core part of Regnum. I've been gone for a month and still don't feel like playing. Just afraid that one of those newbies that I gank on my higher levels will become 60 WM when I get back.

"Taking a break" does indeed seem to be a core part of Regnum, but I'd say its also essential for a healthy life balance, MMO's are meant to be played for a long long time, to keep you interested and give you stuff to do for months on end, some do this better than others.

In Regnum it boils down to grind or war (war on Horus being mostly about waiting) You can't just do those 2 things over and over without giving yourself variety in between, so play something else, do something else.

Speaking as someone who used too frequently put in far more hours per day then I should have, variety is the spice of life, Regnum is fun now and again, but it shouldn't be your "main" leisure activity, its just gets stale too quickly*, particularly if you've been playing for years, this is why I won't ever gain another level unless NGD does something amazing.

*Major problem in a game where grind is so friggin slow and you need a high level to really take part in the "fun" bit of the game.

What is this?

Is it disturbing if I prefer the sky when it looks like the end is near? Volcano is optional.

Oh right I forgot to say something on topic... erm, yeah, just keep taking your break until you feel the urge to come back. Trust me it can take a while. The longest I went was 2 months, others have gone for a year or more though lol.

You forgot 'Go afk at save for an hour while your realm struggles to stop an invasion, then come back when its too late to help and yell at the newly afk war group who are away for one min to pee/smoke/grab a drink'

I've only ever played on Ignis and Horus. My real life friend who used to play on this account had a Raven server Alsius Marks and Conj, but I've never ever had ties with Syrtis. How would you know if I played on realms daily?
O.o

Its a different person

Yeah, probably different person. How did you know...?
