Re: A question for those who no longer play.
I just lost the spark i got when I first played the game, levelling was much harder with the reduced time I could play the game expecially when people didn't want you unless you could spend 4 hours+ in the party. When you work for a living, want to spend some quality time with some special person as well as having other commitments, that time gets very short and I was rejected from parties because of it. One guy told me I was weak for not having enough time to play" translated he was telling me I was weak for having a life?

I love computer games and still play them in my short time I can, but the MMO game in gneral is time consuming and doesn't fit my lifestyle anymore. I don't want to spend RL money to just fish, craft or farm all the time, to me that was boring. Granted SE has put a bonus on smaller parties, in my experience not many of them existed and when they did they wanted to do a long time or just didn't want to know.

The spark has gone for me, so rather than bitch and moan about the game all the time, I left, put the boxes and books into protected storage in my cupboard and moved on.
