I love/am entertained by the following:

1. that by this point I have played so many combos and there are still races and classes I daydream about playing.

2. that sense of camaraderie you have with characters you meet in game - like an intense friendship that is going to end in 300 hours

3. the adrenaline spike you get when you whomp another player or conquer a tough area.

4. the incremental build up as you level a character - this one is kind of like the same thrill you get from an aimless app game like battleheart. But I will waste 40 mins of my life when I should be sleeping just to get enough Exp to unlock a new skill.

5. Low barrier to entry. I know people disagree but seriously my area and secret knowledge sucks ass and I virtually always can compete. It's just a matter of mindset.

6. Other players setting the bar higher.

7. The IMMS. You can not fathom how much of the above is sacraficed when you spend most of your time playing an IMM trying to make other people's experience better in some way. It is alot harder to state the payoff than it is the work. I am very grateful that these people keep logging in every day to make the game run while I "selfishly" attend to real life.

8. That Whiys started a thread just like this on the Immortal forums
