It was around second week of January when I started thinking of quitting. I have finished all the storyline in the game, both main and side ones. It was getting stale. I was just logging on to chat with people in the guild. It was at that moment when I realized why a lot of people have quit the game. People who I played with all those years ago. The game has gone stale and is drastically losing its brilliance that it so magnificently demonstrated 4-5 years ago.
The game was not releasing any interesting storylines in the game. And if they ever did released new quests or stuff to do, they were finished immediately. The usual questing before that would take at least a week to finish a part before starting on another one was gone. If someone actually tried to finish the new release or events within the game, they could finish it in under five hours or so.
Yulgar's Inn was a place four to five years ago that was booming with people talking and now, it was a place for people to just afk (away from keyboard), meaning that they were just standing there for countless of hours doing nothing. No one was talking. And if there was, it never lasted for more than two hours or so.
Another realization I came to was that, like other games, they don't care about veteran players. Veteran players who has supported them. None of that or whatsoever. Instead of trying to release new events for veteran players and to keep them playing, they released a tutorial hoping that it would attract new players. By the way the game was going, it was stupid.
I did not understand why the people in charge of the game were doing the stuff that they did. They were trying to attract children who most likely not be able to purchase stuff in game with real money to replace people who were spending lots of dollars on the game.
I told myself several times in the game that I would quit. Shy already quit. I had to delete 15 people from my friend list in the game because they quit. I did try several times to quit the game.
One of them was the moment when I pretended that I quit and gave the account to my brother. I seriously did want to quit, but there was something in the game that I couldn't leave. The people I have grown close to in the guild. They were the only ones stopping me from quitting the game.
Even though they did not physically say or even said in the game for me not to quit, I felt a connection that I didn't wanna try to cut. Although I have never met them physically, there was something there. I felt friendship. It was overwhelming in all honesty. So to all those who say that it's impossible for someone to experience frienship online, YOU ARE WRONG. I experienced it. I live with it. I'm still experiencing it.
I told myself that maybe I wouldn't quit the game, but as I look back at the past 2 days, I've realized that I've been slowly quitting. Trying to get used to the fact that I don't have to play the game to talk with people I've met in game because some of them are here on Wattpad or KiK.
