Just because I'm bored I'm gonna start another thread, you know why? Because I can. ^^ So guys, why do you still play this game?


Just to throw my answer in:

I guess I still play this game not for the actual game itself, because to be quite honest it irritates me on an hourly basis, but for the people I meet. I have met some of the nicestest, most entertaining people imaginable on this game, and simply that is what keeps me coming back. I have formed bonds with people that go beyond the game, and I am proud to consider these people true friends. I have actually had conversations on the phone with quite a few of them, and it makes me extremely happy. So it is becuase of them I continue to come back, day after day, night after night. THey keep me going when I want to quit, and cheer me on when I am doing well... thanks guys

I'm still having fun playing it. It hasn't become like those that have quit already for me so I see no need to quit yet. Also,being stationed out in the desert where the closest town is 30-45 minutes away there isn't much else to do. Plus it saves me money because I don't have to buy a lot of gas to go places if I don't leave post.

The world is still pretty much vast and new to me. Each level makes it easier for me to explore and find out little things I've missed out on because I was too in a hurry running away from a mob ^^;

And definitely, I stay for my friends. You all know who you are, and if you don't, well... we have to sit down and take a chat over by my favorite places so you realize just how much you mean to me.

I still have goals with some of these friends too, that I look forward to. Baba and I have been level partners, how it started, we're still baffled, but we've made some funny end game goals we want to do. Apollo and I are gonna be in a new fairly low level set with my LS home and I can't wait for that. I haven't even begun to craft, but I'm hoping to earn my cloth glasses one day, to be the geeky nerd I am in game and out. And soo much more.

Besides... who else is gonna plan the Gatherings? ^^

I still play the game because it hasn't gotten boring or anything. Sure, there are times when things are slow, but that's when you take a break from it and play something else. Plus, I have been privelaged to meet some of the coolest people on here. Play hard. :D

i keep playing because i am addicted to this game.. I love playing this game, day in and day out.. I have even called in sick to work becuase i wanted to sit infront of my computer all day and play this game..

I keep playing because of all of the friends i have made during the process of becoming addicted. The people i have met in this game are awesome, and i have had phone conversations with lots of them, and i dont think i could ever leave this game..


I also do it for the beer and the bit[Black][/Black]ches.

I definetly play this game because of all the awesome people in it, I dont know where I would be without some of them beside me.
(probably still a level 32Monk/Sam scared to set foot inside of Garlige Citadel again)

I play this game because I'm not done yet...I will pound Maat into the ground. I will be a 75 Monk. I will expierence some endgame fun. I will explore this world inside and out. (and I will have fun doing it.)

Last but not least I play this game because as of yet I have found myself pissed at it, nothing seems to upset me in this world...Ill have to admit its my escape from RL BS. When this stops and I get mad at something that happens my days here will then probably be wearing thin.

This game has the stunning visuals, amazing storyline, and the VAST world that we come to expect from SE in regards to this line. The fact that they regularly add to this world, and give us new areas to explore, new equipment to drool over, and new foes to conquer is awsome.

That all is the cake. The people are the icing. I've met some wonderful people in this game and continue to do so (Infinite Conflict, you guys rock!) ^^

I started playing MMORPGs because all of my good friends had graduated college ahead of me and I had nothing else to do. And that's still why I play when I play, because I have nothing else to do. It's just better when you can play with friends then playing a stand alone game.

I play because I am a hopeless addict.

*scratches self in a way that looks painful*

Actually i play because its:
1) Final fantasy
2) Fun
3) I have so many friends, and I look foward to making more acquantinces. I've run into Merodi and had a brief discussion about peanut butter. (She likes hers crunchy)
4) It's an escape from this boring world.

I play for a few reasons. I loved FF since before I can remember.
I wanted the chance to play the game I loved so much with other people, to explore new worlds and set foot where no Mithra has set foot before!

And I get to talk to my brother without a nice phone bill is good to ^^

Well truth be told hmmm...why do I play this game? Simple answer for a brutha. This is another game where you can show off, that simple. I don't care much about anything else except for that. Looking cool as h#@ and post up somewhere where newbes are like d@#! you see what that guy has? Now that's my main reason for playing this game .. that and getting rich on this game.

i question i would have not asked myself about ... but now i did...

i have to tell ... i never played an online game b4...

i started when i broke up with my ex... i needed to find a way to pass time without thinkin of her... now im addicted.

i play all the time i can. the worst is i cant tell i really love that game... i even find it boring sometimes... but thats true we can meet ppl (even tho i dont really have any friends.)

what i like the most its to help ppl... u know ppl that really enjoy the game n wants to do something too hard for his/her level... u help him/her n u make him/her the most happiest person .... thats what i like the most... i feel really good when someone is happy ....i dont care to waste a whole saturday helpin someone to get rank 4 or 5 or to get any kind of keys or anything possible in this game as long as i put joy in someones life....

i helped lots of ppl that /wave me but i cant say i got lots of friends tho... my 2 or 3 friends are always doin something else n too busy coz they dont want to waste time... wasting time... wtf... its a dam game... anyways...


Why am i playing this game... im still asking myself about it.. i think id only need one big something to **** me off n id quit... until then i hope ill meet ppl that will make me look forward for my next gamin session....

peace n luv ^^

I've done some deliberation on this subject, and I've come to the conclusion...

I play the game because every time a taru dies, an angel gets its wings.

And I'm proud to say, I've helped many an angel ascend.

Please, it's got an incredibly good proxy economy. Sure, it's easier for one single person to weigh it, but it's still fun to play with. So aside from the people I meet, the main reason I play this game is to have fun with the money. Seriously, tree sapplings I bought over a month ago for 80k sold yesterday for 201k. Those Wind Ores that I could have sold a month ago but held onto? 150k then, 280k now.

...oh yeah, and the huge world and teamwork and all that stuff. Yeah. Technically I'm not playing right now since I'm still finishing Xenosaga II.

- the people, especially everyone in SA. I could name names but the list would be too long. Aw hell why not, I can name some of you I suppose :) Eleusynia, Yekan, Noxx, Awias, Braewyn, Alucarth, Dedrick, Ulysses, Galkus, Zekenthia, Dragonflie, Kaaz, Arondight, Merodi

- the accomplishment, succeeding where failure was expected (like soloing the NIN quest leeches at 48, right after I had myself convinced rdm sucked)

- the fun, watching our set BLM take like 12 deaths in 3 xp sessions (and still laughin at it), hangin out with friends, dune parties for sh[b][/b]its and giggles, not xp.

There is probably more, but I can't think straight today.

*edit or type apparently

One of these days you will be on the receiving end of my Savage Blade, my friend. And on that day, I will cry tears of joy, then giggle madly as I force you to eat a R1.



l'edit: Psst, Nam. Wanna help me get savage blade?

As I posted in my thread when I begged for absolution for beginning to leave, I am bound to this land because of the people.

But also, there is this desire to see the heart of this world.

Unfortunately though, I can't just use the keywords "Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" at a portal, and wind up at the heart of the world like some can.

So I am just going to have to do it the hard way, and exp/quest/mission till I get there...
