How will we stand out?

My point is this: When I play Skyrim, it is not "So that the game can succeed and thrive", when I play Virtua Fighter 5, or Melty Blood, or Castlevania: HD, or Fable III, it is not for the game, it is not for any future game. I play it because there are aspects of the game that I find fun and appealing.

What do you find fun and appealing in this game to play it?

Okay. I see what you mean.

Well, the difference is that this game is an MMO, and as such, it needs subscribers to stay intriguing, updated, and more importantly, Live. You can play Skyrim, Castlevania, or God forbid Fable 3 any time you want without hassle, because they don't rely on a party system to be playable and wont die or fall into ruin if un-played by the masses. Single player games are designed to be a full experience (cheap DLC tactics aside). MMO's need to be worked and updated constantly to meet the needs of the playerbase and to ensure expenditure so the servers can stay up.

If you're asking me what draws me to this game, it's a combination of things.
Originally, I was all: Oh awesome, I get to play something like 11 again. But that turned out to be bull, so I decided I'd give the game a chance and test it out. I enjoyed the history packed lore, the soft natural aesthetic, the fact that the armor looked fairly practical, the company system when it was introduced, and the promise of 2.0 just before I start to get sick of the game and unsubscribe. When I heard a new director was taking over, especially one who worked on the Dragon Quest series, I decided to stick with it and see how it developed into 2.0.

Hope that clears things up.
