Leaving DAOC... /wave

Okay...

Basically this is it...

Went away on holiday and realised how Addicted to this game i was before i left...

I have spent (wasted possibly?) about 50-60+ days of my life playing this game?? Things that are important to me in RL got neglected...

The aim of this game is to become lvl 50... and to gather equipment to become the "best" in RvR?

What i started to think was why the hell? Why should i spend all these days of my life lvling a Fictional Character on a game with people i will never meet?

Most of what is posted on this board is crap and i dont read, some people seem to take this game far more seriously then I did... and that scares me... I dont want to become like some of the peole i read... i also think it is best for me to stop playing...

Im not gonna mention GOA or anything like that... My views on GOA etc are nothing to do with why i am leaving... only thought was "What is this game gonna do for me in the long run?" and the answer is simply nothing... if i got lvl 50 then i would just rvr maybe lvl an alt.. the patchs that are coming dont look to great...

All in all i was addicted and i admit that... im giving up cos i realised how bloddy pointless the game is and i dont want to waste so much time.

I have made many friends out there...

Minko, Daws, Gwandyn, Gandulf, Domino, Wedge, Pac, Elvo, Pfy, Faded, Ninjastyle, Naits, Loccon, August, Babe, Rales, Agarason, Taglim, Sollon, I wont list them all, but you are ALL Great Guys.. and i will miss you... I will be on and of for the next couple of weeks... so will say bye to the peps i didnt mention (and the ones i did)

Its been fun lvling with u guys, and fighting with/against all of ya.

Take Care...

And see you soon...

PS> Ne1 looking for an account with 43 Minstrel, 43 Infiltrator, 37 Theurg, and 35 Merc... email me at tom@hotmail.com for more details

All games are a waste of time, your not going to gain anything but a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment. Just something to do in your spare time to get away from work/education/just general RL.

What makes MMORPG so addictive is the leveling process, getting to a high level, dedicating **** loads of time into the game to get to the top.

I dont mind playing this game a lot because I know come 6-12 months another MMORPG will be out even more addictive with even more interactivity and fun etc.

Its all fun and games, although you have to put RL first sometimes :)

GL with RL :D

Why bother breathing in and out, death is somewhat unaviodable so why make the effort?

Congrats on the most unwittingly funny post in a long time

No, the aim of this game is, like all games, to have fun.

If you weren't having fun you should have stopped a long time ago.

If you didn't understand that you were supposed to be having fun then you should probably never have started playing in the first place.

Cheers, best of luck to you and good-bye!

Couldnt agree more... there is no point in paying for a game you dont enjoy and have fun playing.. yeah sure gettin to 50 is part of the game but it isnt the point of the game is it?

ohh bye

I think the point about fun is true btw.

I stopped leveling and 41 for 2 weeks and just ran around doing silly stuff, helping people etc. Its hard because I see other people catching and passing my level by at least its not boring like just standing there and killing pygmy/trees :)

Maybe a break and then try and play less??

Thats what this "game" is all about...not levelling, RvR etc. Its a very easy way of meeting lots of peeps you get on and have a great laugh with (ok...so you do meet a fair share of wankers too ;)). I'm kinda reminded of the intro of www.kriegeronline.com ....although its maybe a bitt OTT.(and for those of you that have't seen the site check out the maps - very tasty presentation).

Good luck in what ever you choose to do Mr P. But remember one thing: the guys you mentioned above are RL peeps, and chatting and interacting with them in-game is far more fun than in a boring IRC window and less annoying than suffering the piss head community down the pub on a Saturday night where /ignore fails repeatedly...

I do have fun playing the game....

But its not just the game i am giving up...

My life is far to Computer orintated....
So im trying to cut down on Computer Time altogether and as DAOC was where a lot of that time was spent... i feel it would be the best thing to cut out to begin with...

Awww man it is sad to see you go :(. But on the other hand i think you are right in some ways... this game takes alot of time that you could spend on school/work instead. Personaly im trying to play as much as i can now so that when the hollydays are over i can just head out for some RvR fun on the weekends and thats it... but aslong as my account is active i have got a feeling i wont be able to keep that promise...

Well we will see what happens..anyway i will miss u out there and i hope to catch you ingame before you leave...maybe we should grab a drink in one of the many nice taverns in Camelot and discuss old times? :).

some people are really sad and do play too much. having 50-60 days playtime is definatly a sign you've been playing too much. having 40+ days play time on 1 char is definatly a sign too. having 2 or more 40+ charecters is another sign.

i think this game is designed quite well. you lvl up to 50 and have fun doing it, then when your 50, the game is rubbish so you have to quit. i think its to stop people getting too addicted.

Sad to see you go Para, sadder to see you leave this kind of post behind.
I personally play with ppl i've known for a long time and many i've met in reality; if it wasn't for the fact i can put a face to the nicks, i think i too would have quit gaming long ago and would be out pissing my life down the drain in a pub somewhere
not that i detest 'acceptable' passtimes or anything

still, good luck to you

Sorry to see you go, another nice guy down.

But before you hit yourself over the head about the wasted time, I will share this secret with you. Life is utterly and entirely pointless, there is nothing meaningful to do in life that can't or won't be undone by a single second of madness, no greater purpose we can succed or fail in achieving. There is no point to money, fame, fun or love, other than to make life worth living. Anything that makes you go up in the morning, that means something to you for just this moment, that's what life is about to me. I've allowed this game to mean alot to me, some choose paintings, some choose stamps, some a dog. For as long as this game motivates me I will keep playing it. And then the next...

Good luck in finding what means something to you.

Sorry to see you go m8...

On the Brethren forum you weren't 'sure' yet, but I guess you made up your mind :(

Imho, the best thing in the game is the friends you get there... I wouldnt even know where to start when naming the friends I made here...

For me, DAOC is just an escape from real life... I have a huge amount of fun, sometimes its a bit of 'getting through a level' (doing goblins with my wizz, yet again)... But chatting in guild/group chat makes it 'easier' ;)

The time I stop playing the game is when my fun stops... I almost reached that point when one of my best friends in the game left the guild... But I'm glad I didn't quit... I'm enjoying the game again...

DAOC isn't about reaching 50, it's not about realm rank 10... It's about the friends you make, the things you do together, e.g. its about fun... When I get home from work, I'm glad that there's a place where I can be with friends... Given their 'virtual friends', but still...

As for being adicted, I think I win from you m8 ;) Having over 40 days of playtime with Wedge, and over 7 days with Magmatic, 5-10 days with Icy, a few with a few other chars...

I have to say, just on topic about having fun, i have 4 alts on midgard/exc..all below 10.

Now how is this possible when i've been playing over 6 months? :D

I've tried every class, tried albion, tried hibernia, tried atleast 4 different types of runemasters, tried ran around, smeeled the roses and finally...after such a long time of pointless exploring...i'm levelling to get to NEW areas. I've played the game for 6 months simply at level 15 or below, jsut think how much fun i'll have when i play levels 15-30 :p

Some may say i'm NUUB, don't know how to play and such but...hey...how hard is it to level to 40? Really. I've had fun, sad to see another man(or woman) go down but if you feel like it, have fun with something else. This isn't an obligation, this is for fun.
