It is difficult to tie significant emotions to most things, let alone games. The world is a place that rarely elicits anger, fear, or anything worth feeling.
Haven will have your heart pumping a thousand miles per second. You experience true sorrow and defeat, as well as admiration and glory.

I stick around because of the emotional bonds that I have formed with the game.

After seeing how active the community has gotten since I've joined, I kind of regret leaving.

It's one of the first games that actually let's you.....lose. Prior to Haven the closest there was was Ultima Online statloss for dying as a murderer and even that was laughable compared to dying in Haven. Single player games almost always have a save game function (Minus the few with an ironman mode) and Mmog's pretty much universally have a ressurect system so dying is at most a bit of a bother. Pleasure is nothing without pain, happiness is nothing without sadness and Haven allows you to feel a FULL range of emotions, not just "BOO YAA I AM TEH HEROEZ!!!!". That's my take on it anyway.

My cows keep my playing, even though I haven't left my walls in 2 months. I get all i need by trading.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy
