Why people quit?

[Culanan]

it may have been a sweeping generalisation but it covers 80% of those who quit and blame either mythic/nerfs/cant be bothered to arty level/ or are just shit and dont enjoy it because they wont do the grind.

I accept some people quit for other reasons.. personal and social.. myself included after the death of my partner and contracting cancer myself i took time out.. but when u really read most of the quit postings its full of crap.. waj wajn zerging albs ruin my fun... QQ mythic nerfed my class.... if you read between the lines 80% of those who quit do so because they just cba anymore..

More likely it covers 80% of the people who bother to post on FH about it but then lots and lots of people don't even post on FH, although they may read it.

I suppose you're extrapolating on that basis but I seriously doubt it covers a realistic majority of players who do quit.

Nothing wrong with getting pissed off with the game for changing anyway, it suits some and not others. They feel the need to communicate it, some agree, some disagree.

Accusing people for quitting just on the basis of radar and zergs is just lame, who seriously thinks the TOA grind is a blast?
Most players agree it's a royal pain in the arse, it's ok once you've finished it, if you can endure it and if you haven't lost some sense of fun at the end of it.
Especially considering many of those who posted quitting threads here have played since beta/retail release, 3 years is a damn long time to play a game and is pretty much at the end of most players interest cycle.

get a duo partner, and you can have have extreme fun in nf

(so that you have speed, some sort of CC etcetera )

Agree with this. Alot of ppl in my guild whines that they have no role bla bla.. tanks suZ etc. ( Aragone :wub: ) And i simply told him/them to get a good bard, druid and an eld (exampels) and go out have fun, harrasing CS/Svasud or camp a route to a keep... I'm sure this works and if i where a tank i would play daoc like that.
Not saying that its MY way or the highway, sure there is alot of diff ways to play daoc, and the most imp is that u play it YOUR way.
- Not like its hard to avoid the zergs if u WANT to.

 

[bloved]

You are so full of shit.

The reasons people have for leaving are varied.

I quit daoc for personal reasons. I am someone who cant do something without putting everything into it. The timesink that is daoc sucked me into a circle of escapism and when i awoke my life was falling apart. The game itself is designed to be a timesink so I had to escape. Made friends in daoc but in the end I can chat to them on irc/msn.

Feels good to breathe the free air again, make some changes and prepare for WoW

hehe lol lissen to yourself this is some funny stuff .....
let me filter it a bit for all of you

I Quit Daoc For personal Reasons ..... my life was falling apart ......
feels good to breathe the free air again ..... prepare for WoW <--- a other timesink

Just say you wanne play WoW or need a fresh new game
Personal Reasons yes sure but for the few peeps that dont have a life some of us do ...
And you can perfectly play this game,and have a life depends how mutch time you wanne spend either with in Real life or in Game ..Sumwhere in there is the perfect balance

and the big time sink your so worrried about.
Well the time paradox is made by you not by Daoc
Sum peeps spend 1 hours a day, sum just the weekends and sum 24/7
But where all human with our own world and problems so stop blaming a game for your life ..... Your in control not Mystic ..;so its up to you

And if you stop playing for WoW well its a new nice game and i hope you have tons of fun

the difference between daoc and wow is you HAD to put TONS of hours in daoc to "keep up" and become a total gimp, where WoW is nothing like that...

i havent quit daoc u kno that elcain i allways message u and say hi <3

 

[Skynyrd]

Not sure whether Ive quit or just takin a break at the moment, although the fact I'm not playing during what should be an exciting time in DAOC history does speak for itself.
Frankly Im disgusted with the way the game designers have totally fecked up since the torment of TOA was unleashed on us poor subs paying fools. I was really lookin forward to NF, but it didnt take me long to realise the awful truth......Im just too bored of it all to bother, even with a FOTM ranger and ment to play with.

Anyhow im not one for whine .....more of a vodca man myself ;-)

 

[MTMag]

Really, I seem to remember you had...

you say im dumb, just read what i say, and take it in, and understand it \o/
i think have said atleast hmm 37 times i was quitting daoc anyway, i stole gov, just for a laugh and it worked, this is comedy :>

despite the obvious falshood in regards to your reason for stealing the GOV, I think it is pretty plain.

I guess you just can't keep your word, shame as I really think you should do in this case

Stealing is wrong.. But a GoV isnt the end of the world now is it?
Think about Fame/Sweat who gave away acc pass and had hes chars rerolled to level1

[Gesp]

it's ToA crap for me, just not so fancy spending 10-20 more days of playtime to get some proper temp and have fun. might come back and try with 1.71 -easier arti levelin things- but it's no more fun for me atm. not actually quit yet, but not playin as often as i used to do.

i never feel so weak to go talk crap at alb forums btw, so i suggest the same to albs n mids, just follow your forums and general discussion, thats better.

new fame was crap (if my memory serves me well) anyway, not so bad he got rerolled

and stop talkin about that aphios fool anymore btw, lol, its just boring now, i dont care for him anymore. to help you, there's the story of the big loser;

- (loser) omg, trade bug, gov disappeared!!
- (gm) no it didnt, he stole it.
- (loser) well i stole it and i'll use it on my ns, hehe!!
- (someone) i know your ns
- (loser) well i was quittin daoc anyway, so i stole it and left it to decay at dl!!

he's pwned up top, so dont try to pwn him more, save your time lads, hf

What the fuck is your problem with me?

I never passed judgement on anyone elses playing style or their lives - if they can find a balance in their lives then thats great for them. I'm saying I cudnt so needed a few months to get things back on track.

If u actually took the time to read and digest my post you would see I am not blaming a fucking game I am blaming myself for a lack of personal control. I can assure you I have spoken to many players who feel the same way about themselves and daoc. It doesnt mean I am a sad bastard - it just means that sometimes some people lose perspective.

While you sit on your throne of perfect balance handing down judgements on me who you dont know from Adam maybe consider that not all are so fortunate in achieving a balance between RL and escapism. Luckily I sorted a lot of my life before I discovered online games so its relatively easy for me to get back on course for the sun.
