When I first read your post, I did think you were having a go but then I re-read it and realised you were trying to be positive (proves you should always read things twice before jumping in with a response). If I read it right, you're saying that people have complained about recent developments but are still playing the game. You wanted them to post those reasons to give others (including the devs) an idea of what's right about the game. You want people to discuss the postive aspects of what draws them into Atys time after time, even when certain things might disillusion them. Am I right? For that I applaud your sentiments.
I would have to say it's the people as well. I still enjoy logging in even if just for a chat. I also still find motivation in levelling, never been a power leveller so I don't feel the need to rush things. It also helps that I don't log in for long periods due to RL commitments, few hours a day. I love this game for what it was before EP2, I worry for its future - hence the avatar. I think that this game can't lose more 'old timers' and survive. I hope that some will stay, I hope others will return (stares hard at Neun

). I will never be conviced that PvP is the future of Ryzom. This game has the potential to be a great game, I hope I get to see that potential realised. I think that above all else is why I am still here.
My sub also runs out in December, but I WILL be renewing for one month at a time for now, instead of 3 like before. I hope to still be here when they shut the servers down for the last time.
