Thanks for including me on your list And all great reasons to like this game.

Some for me:

The competition (with the exception of the few times it turns ugly or sour, mind you). Most of the player base seems to have a solid competitive spirit mixed in with a sense of fair play. We're all here to enjoy.

Conceiving character ideas and then experimenting with them in game.

Something I've most recently learned is the many ways you can experience this game. I've had a tendency to stick to a narrow range of character types in the past but I have come to see that trying a totally new character type/cabal combo can give the same excitement as trying the game out for the first time.

Definitely, Imm recognition in game.

The Battlefield, PBF and entertaining imm comments in the PBF

This last one I realize can be counter productive to a fun in-game experience, but, the varied, unique and sometimes abrasive personalities on both the official forums and Dio's that lead to some entertaining threads to read while I'm at work!
