Why Stay?
•
by PimpDollaz
Have not written in a long time, mostly because I like to put some effort into it, and time does not allow. Now I am past caring, so I will just ramble. I left this game for a while, then came back but noticed I have no feeling towards this game one way or another.
I wanted to know, for those of you who have been here a very long time like I have - why do you stay? What is your motivation to continue? This game is boring and has a long way to go to even be mediocre, so I just wanted to get a sense of why there are still people around that have been here for years and are still plugging away. At the very least, I might get a sense of who still reads my paper or is subscribed to it.
I can't really say why I am still here, wasting my time. Perhaps it's because it has just become so routine. There was a time when the game had some semblance of community and I was investing a lot of time into it, so maybe I feel compelled not to give up. Maybe it's just the momentum of years that has made it seem almost job-like. I really don't know. Maybe if I figured it out, I could cut the cord gracefully. Or maybe not
Also, it's been so long since I wrote that I just noticed it costs gold to publish outside where you have citizenship. Back in the day, you could publish anywhere for free. Bastards are screwing us at every turn, yet we are still here, taking it....why, why, why

I'm still here because I like the people and the idea, and I want to see what happens next. Basically, what I mean is that the idea behind this game and the community that built up this sandcastle is still worth it to me. Sure, the game itself has been slowly suffocated below the level of mediocrity for years, but that's not the fault of the players. It's in them and their creations that I still find reason to stick around.
Or maybe I'm just a masochist.
Anyway, it's an amusing commentary on the sad state of things, but you know the gold cost to publish abroad thing is a new feature, right? They took away the ability to publish outside your citizenship country (at all) back in 2012 or so. They just added it back in a couple weeks ago.
I'm hoping someone will buy the rights to this game and do it properly.
i want to help my country 🙂
Community and routine. I don't play any a lot of games, so this is pretty much the only thing that occupies my free time.
Oh, and to see how long this game will last before people stop buying gold altogether and this place shuts down.
