mouthwash Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Yeeeeahhhh, so i tried this for 1 week, played a lot and then quit, vowing never to play it again. Reason was twofold; one, I didn't actually enjoy it all that much, it was just kinda consuming time plodding around doing random things that weren't that interesting. two, the reports from literally everyone that it is heavily addictive, linked in with reason one that I didn't actually find it all that rewarding play experience meant I didn't want to get hooked on a game I wasn't 100% on. Instead I accidentally managed to get hooked on Minecraft, running servers, moderating for the Yogscast, making videos, spending WoW amounts of time playing basically. But hey, I met many friends, actual friends I meet up with in the real physical world, including my fiancee... who is trying to get me to play WoW!! Noooooooooo i say!

Humpy Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Vowed never to play any mmorpg's ever again. Played swg, then wow, dungeons and dragons, rift, the new star wars one. Even though I enjoy those games, I realised how much of my life was being lost to a game. I struggle with my own life let alone living with an in game character or 10 Quote
mouthwash Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I think my count in wow was over 400 days Imagine what you could have achieved with a year of awake/active time. Quote

Being an epic Priest Healer was not good enough? :lol: moderating for the Yogscast, Keep talking...... Hmm, joined as premium member way way way back, was good times got to know people, got asked to be moderator, did that, demographic of Yogscast really shifted to kids as things like the YogPod dropped off the radar, forum changed to be more like the minecraft forum, got annoyed, quit.

Being an epic Priest Healer was not good enough? What have you got to show for it now about 6 £700 toons back in the day, which are probably work £1 now Got told loads of times why don't you sell them? Because I didn't want to throw away all the time I put in....wish I sold up Quote
Husky Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 if at any time someone says "here's some money for the gaming you've done" I'd throw the stuff at them and take the money! Quote

mouthwash Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I tried to sell my account back in the day when I had T3 equipment for about £800... Got a load of emails from Blizzard threatening legal action, never done it again. 1 Quote

mouthwash Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Or find one that likes to do her own thing while you play games Quote
BulletMagnet Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Maybe try DayZ or Infestation:Survivor Stories (formally known as WarZ, until Hollywood made a movie with Brad Pitt that sounded similar) Quote
Husky Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Or find one that likes to do her own thing while you play games that only lasts so long before they get inevitably annoyed Quote
Grundy Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Maybe try DayZ or Infestation:Survivor Stories (formally known as WarZ, until Hollywood made a movie with Brad Pitt that sounded similar) Played Dayz back in the Alpha/Beta, was good fun. But didn't change enough for me to buy it. (Although I bought Arma2 just for it ) Quote
mouthwash Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Or find one that likes to do her own thing while you play games that only lasts so long before they get inevitably annoyed I've done alright for 7 years now Quote
Husky Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 i did the alpha DayZ thing, same as you bought Arma for it. it was... ok, it just sucked as a multiplayer, the concept was great but; the day night cycle was irritating as hell, the lack of control of spawn location (grouping with friends) was terrible, and the absolute defeat on death was harsh.

BulletMagnet Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 It's a standalone game now. I also have the alpha/beta works with Arma 2 version and haven't played for a while Quote
mouthwash Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 It is a standalone game (in alpha, I think?) now but it still sucks at the moment, although I haven't played it for a few months maybe they've made a few improvements. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I have been watching some vids of gameplay on a channel I follow Quote
