how long do you plan on playing this game?

[bobalitos]

^ the deepest question that i was ever asked in this game... :(

(got me thinking of quitting lol)

anyways, how long do YOU plan on playing this game?
months, days, years?

i'm not making anyone quit, just curious... so dun close my thread D<


-dont thank me, thank trxie-

[Grizantir]

I ask myself the same thing. How many bills are we going to keep dropping on this here game. *sigh*

[ky0_drag0n]

Ahh, that deep question everyone always asks themselves.
I guess I'll keep playing until I can't play anymore.

[ChaosAD]

My goal is to get to lvl 136 Shadow Master. After that, i'll just play for the sake of playing, until i cannot bare to play anymore. Getting my Templar to lvl 112, getting my other chars to high lvl. Can always create new goals. It wouldnt be a waste of time since unlike most people, i play this game when i feel like it after i come home from work instead of spending from morning to evening playing it everday.

[catry]

I'm only casual playing this game now, grinding basically when I feel like it, and I don't really intend on seriously playing (or seriously any money on it) ever again. With that in mind I intend on hanging around for a while and I'm open to any changes, since I still think this game has a lot of potential and I've made a good number of friends in this game.

[mysteryangel79]

hmms~ that is the toughest question ever. but since i only play for fun and to spend time with the uberly awesome ppl i have met, then i guess whenever i just cant stand to log in anymore.

**SIDE NOTE: Alrdy tried quitting this cursed game. Spent 3 weeks in serious withdrawl.:p**

[kazuya-str]

I technically already retired but I still go on and kill like two monsters and then leave.
This game is very addicting. I uninstalled SoS and ended up reinstalling it. <<;
I don't actually plan on playing after I turn eighteen. I'll probably be into something else by then.
All my close friends (with exceptions) have already left and I haven't anything to look forward to when I log in. I used to play for the sake of having fun but I got bored of competition with "I leveled past you" and all that other stuff.

I guess I'll be around for quite a while.

[ChristinaM]

My bf and I always joke about this question. Saying we are going to be 75 years old and playing with our children lol :D I dunno really how long we will play, but for now, we are excited for the future of the game - and we love to play this together - So its a good way to rewind for us! We've tried playing other games, and this is just the one we love :D We have found we actually spend less money on this game then we did when we were going out to the bars together and things like that - THAT got expensive - so for us spending $25 here and $25 there is no biggie compared to the bars lol - SO its helped us a little :DD So we are sticking around for awhile I think :)

Forever............................

[CyberPhoenixSlayer]

Not ready to quit for a long time. have a lot to do in this game.

[AzNRuthLess]

until i have a lvl 180 character of each class.... :D

[BellaAnimorum]

Until the bloody, bitter end... 'old-timers' for the win!

[deedee479]

well i'm close to quitting due to problems with many people( rumors of them tring to get me bann XD and trying to pin someone else trying to get them bann on me)
but first i was asked to move servers
may just do that well see.

[opensunflowers]

NOT LONG IF EVERYONE KEEPS PESTERING ME TO GO ASSASSIN...




Teehee.
Just kidding.
Sorta.
<<'

But yeah.
Until everyone I like leaves.

Quite a few people have already left, so there's only a few friends of mine who still play... :<

I do want Archer though. ;)

[Mikitan]

Until the bloody, bitter end... 'old-timers' for the win!

I feel the same way. Been here from the start, I'll be here til the end. ^_^

[ChaosAD]

All my friends leaving SoS has never been enough of a reason for me to quit, because i've always managed to make new friends and find new people to give me a reason to keep playing this game.

I'm in too deep to be able to leave SoS once and for all now. Even if i just log on to check out pvp or go grind to get 3%, i cant bring myself to not log on at least once a day let alone uninstalling it.

The only way for me to actually quit SoS once and for all is probably after i manage to stop myself from buying anymore spark cash and realizing how much money im wasting on sc items and ultimate kits.

For the first time ever in my 1 years + with this game, i lose all the motivation to play.. Maybe it is due to 4th final class which was my target, disappointing final skill, no more competitive challenge from other players and this game has game has becoming more and more expensive.. Last year, I was willing to stay up or wake up early for event especially the one involving enhanced gears or PvP.. Now, i don't care about the event or anything with this game.. My friends, the old timers whom I had most fun with have gone from this game.. I made new friends but it is just not fun as it was.. The players whom I admired have moved on and left the game.. The other thing that was fun for me was PvP and now every time I went there, it is just dead and boring.. Heck, even I am not that blood thirsty anymore.. Like my gf said, she will never miss this game if she quits and now I understand why.. It is turned out to be plain vanilla and even the community is not as spiced up as before.. However, I loved this game and I never regret myself for playing it :)

[Kayarine]

Hmm... I think I'll stay until leveling my Wiz becomes seriously slow. I might work on my Aco when that happens, though. xD

[sir-link]

Eh not really sure. :S

[SawyerAshfire]

*sigh* I've attempted to quit more times than I can count and I just don't think I can until I've reached my goals. Obviously school is more important to me, but I'll never just straight up quit I don't think...who knows.


*ponders quietly in the corner...*

[kingzamzom]

I will always be here.......cuz she hasn't come here yet =)

Well, when she comes, I can say it's just started ;)

....Not planning to quit, this game/community is just Great! and Fun!.

SotS, Game On! ^_^

[TRXSTA]

I played for 360 days. :O

(I didn't do anything, bobobob. Don't blame me! <.< )

[bobalitos]

[Orangeman21]

[Maxout]

[waffaddict]

I'll play until I get bored or until something that requires more of my time comes along

[jojoli]

I've been playing for a little over a year now....and is still stuck with all chars lv 46- v.v; I is the most slackest player of the slackest group of the slackest people of Xen. o.O;; Lolll~ I tried to take a break and uninstall, but this....this game...is more addicting than making siggys D:! So...I ended up reinstalling ....>.>;; I don't really play I just log on and chat...and....slack.......and take uber screenies of my char. Why is this game so addicting?? DDDx
Oh and...if I keep playing, maybe in 5 yrs or so, I will reach lv 90. Lollll~
[edits]

[fuad199rpg]

[LewCfurPrime]

YOU CAN'T QUIT YOU WEENIES...THE GAME HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET!!!

......*blasphemeingwussypiecesof....rabblerabblera bble; frigginquitwtharetheytalkingaboutquitwhenthegameis n'tevenfinishedrabblerabblerabble*....



pshaw.....quit...that's a good one, Bob, you hamster-eater, you.....


\vv/>.<\vv/SLEEP WHEN YER DEAD, WUSSES\vv/>.<\vv/



man mah siggy's outta date........

[himoses]

Quitting…hmmm….


I came really close with the whole economic meltdown of Xen. I said I would play until may sparkcash ran out but I bought some more to get my aco to cleric (achieved) and get major heal (4.5 lvls to go) and my neo to rogue (4.5 lvls to go). I would like to make it to warlord, but I do not think I have the patience to put up with .01 exp or less for 34 levels. I am not a hardcore gamer and am really discouraged with the .01 exp I get in chant, edine, and b2 library. The game was particularly fun when I was getting 3-5% per aoe when I learned wild swing. I have only leveled once since becoming warrior a few months ago.

I only have like 10 or so long-term friends who still play.

I will probably quit when:

1. Cleric learns major heal
2. Secret Neo gets to Rogue
3. Scout hits level 66 or 71
4. All of my friends quit
5. I use up all of my sparkcash left (trying not to buy any more)
6. I get tired of hosting random events

I will probably have a massive give-away of stuff when I leave.

[Rivan]

Well, I've been playing for over a year and really, for the past few months, I haven't quite wanted to because leaving behind everyone I know....just not possible. Dx Though I have tried once, it was a complete and epic failure. I don't think I will quit, not completely. I want to watch the economy and community evolve. See how it changes. Just as when I first started, I believe, if we work together, even those who've left or are in the midst of doing so, can pass on a bit to the new youngsters who are coming in. Maybe I won't ever get the third class, but I enjoy watching new folks popping up. And helping them out. So yeah, I don't think I will leave. Besides, I still have a few people to pwn. :3

PS. I have a few nagging friends who cling too much. coughLAHARBORICUASEPHIRNETCcough >>;

Luffs to you all~ <3 :D

[tomi-textbook]

[For me, I've been here since November 2008. I did quit for a month and when i came back so much had changed! I was so bummed i missed so much stuff! To top it off tons of my cool friends had left! I've made a ton of new friends(and rivals.. i call them rivals cuz i dont wish to be rude)! So i'mma play solstice till i can't anymore!! ^^

[s2galm]

Till The Day.....Alastor Takes Over....

But Then Again.

That'll Never Happen. ^^

[n_guy]

I have no idea when I'm going to quit.

I expected myself to quit before reaching a high level like 70, but I went past that.

[ggBuRNe]

Today i have decided to retired from the game. I would still lurking the forum and stalking the sparkbook. I have achieved what I wanted which was the 1st Wizard, the 1st Archmage and the final skill Freeze Splasher. Life goes on and there will be new faces coming into the game. I would come back from retirement who knows, but not until July's winter break (2 weeks) or at end of this year around December xD I don't have any reason to play anymore and I am very busy with uni workloads. It is my 3rd year and I am planning to get 1st class honor or 2nd upper class. Moreover, I need to save money for my future and my girlfriend. This game is getting expensive and I believe it is the time for me to let it go.

In the end, this is just a game. Therefore, enjoy your time as much and never forget about the importance of having a good real life and future. Game is not your future. Take care and enjoy~
