why do you play?

[xzizoux]

All except PvP and Ring... hehe anyhow i like Grinding too it can be fun with the right ppl

[thlau]

As you already saw, you missed out crafting, and I missed exploring in the list. If it weren't for exploring, I don't think I would dig in PR anyway.

If 'Large battles and complicated politics' wasn't inferring PvP, then add a vote on that for me too, but it seems tied into it in the poll.

R2 really needs the seperate hosting support structure to work, but it is a big factor as to why I'm still here.

[moyaku]

uhm you could vote for more than 1 option dude

*smacks his forehead* hadn't notice *falls unconscious*
Then add a vote on "grind", "digging" and "the ring" for me

[d29565]

digging isnt tedious

Is too!!!!

Anyway, I voted for ONLY social element and shiney stuff. I like shiney things

[zanthar]

I chose the social element, digging, roleplay and lore, and shiny stuff. I'm not into PVP and large scale battles cause my pc just can't handle it.

[katriell]

Roleplay possibilities and great lore
Large Battles and complicated politics
Social element

I assume the second mainly consists of PvP, which in its current implementation has stimulated politics and therefore causes a lot of enrichment to the RP in the game. Conflict is part of life; there is at least one conflict element in every story. There's absolutely nothing anti-RP about physical expression of conflict toward other played characters.

IMO the difference lies between 'Simming' and 'Playing a role-playing game'.
Simulation of a world and roleplaying (in the RPG sense) aren't necessarily the same thing, though they cross over a little.

Well...

complicated politics is part of social element
roleplay possibilityes same

large battles is a subcathegory of pvp

striving for next thing is the second cathegory nicely put

[dakhound]

explanation of my catagories since you lot dont seem to agree,

PvP - non OP pvp, involves nothing more than picking a scrap with the nearest body bag volenteer
large scale OP fights and politics - I lumped the 2 as all politics these days seem to be about building effective alliances which then go and attackk outposts. Any other form of politics usually involves lore and therefore I class this as Roleplay
