What's keeping you playing?

LucianDeathshield · 08-20-2013, 09:21 AM

So I was checking out the thread Ichi made about what it would take for you to return to RO, and I was curious on what's keeping people playing. (Friends, trolling, gameplay, w/e) So yeah, what are the things that keep you playing this game?

Linux Compatibility. Its one of only 5 or 6 MMO's that run natively on linux. I dont count Runescape as its pay to play, and Java doesnt run too well in linux these days. Same goes for Ryzom, also a subscription based game.

So, I play this. Its all I can play on Linux, even though I dont enjoy it as much as I used to.

I log in like once a month just to remind myself why I don't play anymore.

I was thinking about it many times, and there is only one answer: im stupid, but there are people playing that are even more stupid than me, so it keeps my self esteem high.

I'd say the community, but even that is falling apart bit by bit.

Honestly, my computer is the only thing that keeps me playing. As soon as I upgrade, you'll see another leaving thread.

Good question. I'd say these are the main reasons:
1) I'm running Linux, and there's no real Linux-native competition for RO
2) My PC is still sufficient for running RO/CoR, probably wouldn't be for most of the others
3) The community, and especially some very nice people that make the game enjoyable

Im only playing because of the people and because im finally decent rvr can be fun sometimes

So yeah, I can play lots of other games but Id miss all the amazing party/clan/personal - chats

1) I'm enjoying my 4 chars. Just discovered some interesting hunter combos vs locks and archers and enjoying experimenting. Barb is leveling nicely and I have some theories re good armor set up I want to try out. Knight is great fun to play despite low lvl.
2) Ha population is better than its been in quite a while, which is great fun. Ra is welcoming to non-Spanish speakers.
3) Some good ppl online including clannies.
4) Gameplay - CoR really is a one of a kind ATM
5) Linux compatible

And...

6) I'm looking forward to dragon update!
7) I want to get my hunter to WM
