Why DId You Stop Playing Project 1999?

[Nedala]

Yeah hav e fun, half a year from now fippy will be into the crap expansions.

Also you have to be scared sony gets hacked again and their servers go down, like they just did. Id be more worried about soe servers than about p99 server.

went abroad for a while and ever since returning simply just cannot be arsed to play. The forums are, of course, still a healthy way to procrastinate day-to-day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think "I hate this game and Im never coming back!" is such a trite remark. I bet 50% or more of the people that get bored or sick of this game and leave will come back at some point in matter of months or years. I don't care how good a game is, I always leave after a month or a couple months. It's just the nature of things for me. I think some others are like this because I've seen it. So I clicked on "I got burned out."

I think that short-term memory needs variation or it gets 'burned out'. Even games that have lots of variation get boring because the game itself doesn't change even with new content.

So we leave, screaming on our way out about some BS reasoning. But inevitably short-term memory relapses and we're right back where we started. The pattern repeats itself with each new game.

I do think, though, that people tend to stick with a particular style or trend of game. Like me, there're many games you won't ever get me to play, unless you pay me. Others, I'll play em, even happily.

Bottom line, I can't play the same game forever, but that doesn't mean I will never play it again.

I'm back to playing again, and enjoying myself, although real life will again and trounce my sit on my butt staring at a screen while I'm not at work time.

Why did I stop... hmmm... well I still play now, but early this year I stopped for about 4 months while playing EVE. Was playing EVE and still playing BF2142 (as I still do) so didn't come around here at the beginning of the year, didn't have time. EVE sux though, at least for faction war pvp, which was mostly why I got the sub. They even recently gave me a credit to play some more, but I didn't bother to reinstall. But I'm still here, but more casual and more time trolling the forums [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] What, there's a game, too?!?

I'm still playing and enjoying it. But I'd have to say if I do quit it'll be because of sweeping mechanics changes that don't appear to be tested at all before being patched in and then left broken for weeks at a time.

Tuning things to make them like classic, implementing mechanics that should have been there, those are fine. But it doesn't seem like even the slightest bit of testing is being performed to ensure that these changes are behaving the way they're expected to.
