What keeps you playing?

Post by Eemerald »

Most ppl outside haven think im a serious nerd or an idiot with too much time to waste playing haven. They see it as a slow game, which can be destroyed the moment devs decide on a new world, or someone comes and destriys all yoyr stuff and kills your charachters. Which im pretty sure we've all experienced at some point. And this game IS time consuming and its disheartening when you lose things uve worked months to get.

So what keeps you playing world after world?

Friendship and adventures!
No matter what stats I have, no matter what I do (be it peaceful farming and hunting, or raiding)
if I do it with other people I'm enjoying the game 100%.
Edit: Also what zacty said, I've searched a lot for games like this to no avail.

Because it's one of the few games (that i know of) in wich the way you achieve something it's more important than the end result. That and because i've met a lot of people in my time playing :D

Oh and the feeling of the game, more specifically, the beginning of a new char/world are what hooks me the most :)

I don't play anymore and yet I can't bring myself to remove myself from the community entirely. A better question would be what keeps you coming back to the forum?
