Even when you stop playing because you no longer have the time or desire to raid, compete, or grind, whatever, you can still have a great time on the forums. And people who no longer play are still interested in the game and are friends with a lot of the people who they played with.

So it doesn't surprise me at all that people who no longer play are posting here. I think that's a good thing.

If they fix raiding I may well come back, and what better place to find out about that then here? Half the fun for me was the forums anyway because the game got so dull, and with this place I can flame Kalidon without paying a subscription fee!

Aye. ATM, I'm logged in game < 10 hours per week, but I'm on the forums more than twice that amount of time. Truly, atm, the forums > the game.

Wow. I'm totally not surprised by the outcome of this here poll

Valencia · 10-29-2006, 05:08 PM

Aye taelana I hear ya. I knew what the outcome would be as soon as I saw what the poll had. Raiders are the hardcore and they tend towards mb's a lot more than any other type of player so of course they will be the most represented.

So the majority of the people who just quest/solo/xp group wouldnt join a forum? I feel a little...left out...lol. I guess its true. After all I rarely visited station dot com. Not even to find out updates to come. I visited ogaming mostly and eq2maps...maybe a little allakhazam becuz I'm a quester and slow lvler. This is the most I've ever spent on a forum that wasnt about anime...lol

if there was no raidin in this game i wouldnt be playin

I'm not knockin raiding. That was just an observation. Raid til your hearts content. From the polls you can see that the majority of the people who join the forums or have output are raiders or would rather raid or raid a lot or go to raider's anonymous...whatever lol. But most people ingame dont raid...they quest. They solo. They group with their guilds. They craft. They farm. They ... um...bot (well that's not a good example of prime EQ2 citizenship...heh). But most people dont raid. I'm not saying they HAVENT raided. I've raided, but I dont raid. I'm not in a raiding guild. I dont wanna raid. I dont care about raiding (no throwing things people!!!) Most people...dont
