[Editorial] Thoughts About Moving On...
I downloaded an addon called "x bar" about three weeks, ago, and I found out that it has a nifty little feature that told me how much time I have spent playing Runes of Magic. When I finally started paying attention, I had realized that three days have already passed. I mean full twenty- four days, and it exclaimed that I had played sevendy- two hours worth of the MMO in less then a week. I thought to myself, "No, this cannot be possible, right?" but lo and behold, it was true. I had spent three days doing nothing but gathering herbs to sell at the Auction House, and I was accountable the whole time.
Now, this may happen more often then I thought, but then I thought about the total time I had been playing to get one class up to fifty, then another up to thirty- six, then dropping it in favor of leveling Priest up to forty- one soo far. I realized that with all that combined time, I had spent about two months of my life playing this game in a ten month period. I'm sure this too is quite common, but after about hour three- twenty, the game really started to get... well... bouring. Don't get me wrong; I like the guild and all, just I think it is about time that I move on to other things that is not Runes of Magic. Get what I mean?
After I had spent so many hours of my life playing this game, I realized somthing that kinda makes the game a bit of a power struggle: only those with money will beable to go forward, and those who dont have it will not beable to fully enjoy the game to its fullest., as with the ability to buy diamonds over the Auction House. And then you get those with questionable mentality spamming world chat about their personnal lives and such, and it really begins to drive on my nervers. I mean, what made those people soo great that everyone should be forced into reading about their lives? Dose me no good, and it sure as Hell is not cute anymore.
Case in point: A character by the name of ******angel just became a grand mother. That is great and all, but she goes on to explain truthfully what the full name of the kid is, how much it wieghs, and other identifiable information. Is it just me, or is that very unsafe? I mean, if I was like some skinhead douche, I would have all the information to locate these people just by what she disclosed to the general public, and start stalking them, not that I would, of course, but the threat still lingers.
So, in short, I'm going to leave the game for a bit, and see if I cannot secure some form of employment or another.
Sorry if this is sudden, but I will always check on my favorites to see how the site is doing. I would like to thank you guys for at least showing me that there are guilds that are not totally comprised of idiots, and that I totally enjoyed my time with you guys. Send me a PM if you need me, and may the rise to legendary forever be a happy one.
Thanks, guys!
I'm also getting bored with RoM, i log in everyday thinking how many times have I started all over again making toons and my other one which is 50, i dunno what doesnt really have an appeal to me but i think im too use to it and know what to do and what quests...anyway
It's cool A.d., I totally understand what you mean and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I myself don't find myself as interested in RoM quite as much as I used to when I first started ither now that i've been away from it off and on as I do pop on from time to time but for some reason it just isn't seeming to hold my attention as much. Kingiix and I also believe that they have no intentions of bringing the Diamond Trading back either and we've both slowly seen a dwindle in the amount of players on the game. I've also moved on and lately i've been playing rts and other online games along with BoI which is where I tend to move to now more and i've still been searching for other games to play and things to do online. Good luck with everything and we'll see you around when you are on.
