To be honest. The game didn't make me stop playing. I can put up with a lot of things and be optimistic, but when I have to deal with real people it's a whole different story. I stopped playing for the month of February due to being fed up with Linkshell leaders dictating what people can do and who they can interact with. It made me sick leaving 2 major Linkshells due to this childish behavior. Nothing in the game world that the developers created made me abandon this game. Just the atrocious groups of people I've mistakenly helped out and called "my friends". If it weren't for the recent updates, I probably wouldn't be here right now and giving the game another chance. That's just my story... I enjoy the game, but hate most of the people on my server (I.E. Linkshell Empires)
