#6374, "I can tell you why exactly"
Edited on Fri 12-Nov-04 10:32 PM

  

          

I am able to be lumped in to the crowd of 'people who played but quit'. The reasons I left will be stated here, for easier reading:

Levelling: Takes way too damned long. If I have a role, I don't want to be restricted by having to grind for 4 hours. Though this has been 'addressed' by Immortals with various recommendations, it doesn't help the fact that it takes someone 150 hours to hero. That is really unexcusable and it IS hurting the enjoyment of the game.

Immortals: I believe there is a trend in the immortals who are leaving their positions right now. I count what, 7 who have left in the past 2-3 months? That's crazy. I think something has to be changed in regards to promotion and induction of immortdom. Needs demand changes and I definately see a need.

Community: The community is what is really killing this game. On one side, you have the silent part of the community. These select individuals only chime in when they have something important or positive to say. They are very much the minority. The rest, though there are exceptions, are loudmouths. I will use myself as an example. When I first started playing, I naturally looked for an 'unofficial CF site'. This way, I would be able to learn about stuff that the CF imm's refused to put on the official website.. thus making the game easier to learn. Did I end up a cheater? No. Did QHCF help me? Yes. However, after I started posting on the boards, people began to get VERY personal with things. Simply because I played one character and killed one of theirs, they took it as if I pissed in their cereal or shat in their toast. They would flame and strike down everything I say and when I asked a question - I would usually get some half-witty-assed reply that really just wastes my time. I think this is exactly what is killing the game. A game's success is part coding, part support and part community. The coding is what this game has as a attribute, the rest.. could use some work.

Frankly, it's the levelling that makes me not want to play this game. I only ever have enjoyment out of playing high level characters and thus, would rather spend my time doing something else rather then trying to level to 51 over a course of a few months.

I hope to god the Immortals heed some advice from the playerbase. It always seems that they are very quick to deny something (BY DESIGN) when it should be looked at and examined furthermore. Everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes and we (the playerbase) are understanding with that. We would rather be talked TO, rather then talked DOWN TO.

- Jaynus, returning when things become less of a chore.

Until then, take care Immortals and players.
