Why are you still playing the game?

    I'd like to hear why you guys and girls still play the game. Is it the community, your guild? Perhaps, the world and and the lore or the content? I'm interested in your reasons.

    Honestly it's the people I've met over the years. The lore can be fascinating at times especially with some quest lines, but the game itself isn't groundbreaking. They've added more personalization in Cata, which was nice for the quest lines and I got really involved in getting a pet and the questline for the legendary staff. Overall though, the game's enjoyability is intensified with other people. There's nothing that can beat activities like drunk raiding together and doing outrageous things in game.

    I stopped playing hardcore a few years ago, and since then it has mostly been about questing and being an altaholic. The actual world they built is pretty interesting, but one of the problems with WOW is so many people worry about progression that they forget about it and are in too much of a hurry.

    The game is still fun for me because there are plenty of things that you can do, and I don't play nearly as often as I used to. There are still other things to do outside of WoW, but I'm not going to just give up on the time I've invested in the game.

    I continued for the same reason, the friendships that formed over many years of playing the game kept me there. Then slowly every stopped plying the game. I tried getting back to it, but it was nowhere near the same as it used to be. :(

    It takes awhile to find a new guild once you were in a good one. I was like that during vanilla, was raiding with a progression guild full of friends and had a blast, then it fell apart in late TBC.. and had to start my own guild with mainly new players, but if you are the GM, you can just gradually build people you enjoy playing with, there is no catchup anymore.. basically every patch everyone is caught up no matter when they actually started playing the game.

    Yeah for me most of my old guildmates have quit the game and moved on. Some came back but it's not the same. I'm trying to re-establish new roots in different guilds but I'm not going to be hardmode anymore so I'm not sure how that will play out.

    Still enjoying some aspects of PvP and it's a good time waste hobby. I have nothing to do else in the winter.
