whats THE reason you play?
whats THE reason you stay even though this game is "dead"?
whats THE reason that made you hesitate when you quit (and kept stalking the forums)?

    I guess there is no real reason why I am still playing. All the friends I have that I got to know a long time ago quit. That is about 30 people I had good times with. I still have contact to some of them outside of the game, but it is not the same somehow.

    I probably am still playing because of the good memories, wherever I go. The music, the good old quests in the mines . . . good times . . .
    Feel free to PM me for help.

    Well said.

    I honestly love the game despite that it is broken/dead. I think there's still a part of me that hopes that one day they realize that this is such a profitable game and they should FINALLY make revisions for it. It's a long-shot and I don't know whether I need mental help for even THINKING about it, but a girl can hope.

    I do know that PWI is the best performing game under the PWE umbrella, and maybe one day when the game loses too many players, they will start to make changes, and I'm goingto keep emails of my close friends, so that I can let them know that the game is being fixed!!

    Again, it's a long shot.

    + 1 more.

    It's like those Farmville things. It's also not mandatory I pay $xx/MO, but if I do the math, I probably am getting close to WoW monthly by now. Lucky me my new irl bill will make sure I budget out PWI now. Plus, as long as I stay away from faction and friendlist, I'm allowed to play as slow and as little as I need/want to. So it's like those Farmville thing, except my cleric doesn't wither if I don't harvest her in 8 hours.

    I'm a PvE player and this f2p MMO suits my needs with its dailies, even if there are some noticeable bugs/glitches/etc (most are negligible). This is my occasional break from real life. It's great to have a place where I can kill some time by by killing monsters in-game for fun b:victory. Eventually, with dailies/farming, I can get something new to improve my chars' performance, whether its a new sage/demon skill or gear. It will take a while to get everything I want, so I don't want to rush it to give myself reason to play. Along the way, I also like to make friends and show new players the ropes.

    I'm guessing many call the game "dead" because of how cash shop items have devalued something they take pride in such as levels or gear acquisition. I'd probably quit, too, if any of that stuff mattered to me. From my experience, cash shop games will devalue those things, so it's to be expected. This is one of the reasons I don't PvP in this game.

    I remember the first time I played PW on PW-MY, then I moved here after about a year.
    I played non-stop every time I could. I think I've always loved this game and ignored it's countless flaws.

    I think as long as they don't prohibit me from playing, running around the map, and talking to my irl and in game friends-I'll always be loyal to this game. Cause I've created some wonderful memories for myself here. b:thanks

    read below ↓ ++reason for lurking around the forums because I do that when I feel like sparking up a convo/helping out some others around other forums...
    I quit PW and all its games it had to cater to me. I'm off playing a better pay-to-play game where I experience no glitches, no spamming LF squads, lose stuff in PK mode, lose exp on death or anything for cheaper price than what I paid for here. However, I'll still be lurking around pwi forums from time to time. Quit Date: March 4, 2011 RIP my beloved characters. b:bye

    Lust's **** and/or fapping? :o

    And yeah... +1 moar.

    But... The addition is going away, I haven't spent... More than $10 since I bought a nix and then ragequit for 3 months, which was before the Earthworm expansion. And my friends seem to be losing interest as well.

    So... There's less and less holding me in this game. I just took 3 days off to watch anime. And TBH, I'm kinda thinking about watching some more... But I can disengage from PWI at midnight and go to sleep, Anime keeps me up until 3 am and I get grumpy as hell the next day.

    ... Reason I love PWI? Because I can watch anime and make profits in-game at the same time.

    And 3 am isn't that bad. In my case it's like 7am when I hear my father leaving for work.

    Yes, but I have to be up around 7:00 am, so that's not enough sleep for me.

    ... If I said I've stayed up until 7am watching anime when my alarm rang on 6am, would that be creepy?

    I have gone to lectures without having slept a moment. Multiple times.

    Like right now, it's 1:40am and I'm only thinking that I should watch Toshokan Sensou.

    Nothing better to do till I move town and find work cause work here is inexistant.

    Then i'll be able to become a regular cash shopper like 90% of the game wants me to be..
