We have an on and off relationship. It never ends, there are no quests. It's just a game I've gotten so used to over the years.Zeebrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249301107613000020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-18159376944235852852008-10-21T10:34:00.000-04:002008-10-21T10:34:00.000-04:00@BrendaBut, WoW is not one of those games I consid...@Brenda<BR/>But, WoW is not one of those games I consider "home"<BR/>And maybe "home" is a misnomer is my point.<BR/>I do not have one game that I always go back to (except maybe Guild Wars...)<BR/>And this probably has to do with finality.<BR/><BR/>It is like a relationship. <BR/>We get married to a game, and stick it out..<BR/>Yet, some play around, but always come back, and may even feel a little guilty over leaving in the first place.<BR/>Then they put in more time with that game they married, and get bored or upset in that marriage..<BR/>But, we know divorce will spell the end, so we keep them hanging..going out every once in a while, but always coming back to them...<BR/><BR/>I could go on in this metaphor.<BR/><BR/>But, I guess I will never have one game I will die with...<BR/><BR/>I think I must be an MMO Bachelor.Elementalistlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536627257855895757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-62869537664505452112008-10-21T08:24:00.000-04:002008-10-21T08:24:00.000-04:00Not sure what you're getting at, here. World of Wa...Not sure what you're getting at, here. World of Warcraft is easily finished in a couple of months. When you get to where you're grinding daily quests and rep, you're done. Fini. Come back in two years to do it again.<BR/><BR/>Wizard 101, my current crush, is totally finishable, and I totally intend to finish it, too.<BR/><BR/>EQ is far too difficult to easily finish, and there's always one more AA you really want. EQ2 doesn't have that same pull, but the varied nature of the gameplay means there's always a lot of stuff you can do when you're tired of killing stuff. The whole interior decoration game is unique to EQ2 in AAA MMOs. And -- no killing.Tipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828719420913764824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-43160360822613406042008-10-21T07:42:00.000-04:002008-10-21T07:42:00.000-04:00"Home base" for me is Guild Wars.

The sense of pride over a crafted creation, taking down a difficult encounter, knowing that I am learning to play my class to the best of my abilities, the artwork that's been inspired from the games, all of these are why I play - combined with the social aspects. MMO's don't need an 'end' to be full filling (for me personally of course) because it's the journey that is the best part. It all ends eventually, I won't be gaming in this game forever nor will any of the friends I have now - but while it lasts, why not have a blast.Stargracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472484765938087671noreply@blogger.com
