What is fun to you in an MMO?

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Hiya folks.

Just a curious friendly survey of sorts.

*lies in wait to ambush me*

What kind of things are fun to you in an MMO?

• Clearing all missions/content?
• Meeting new people and hanging out?
• Thrill of competition for first place, time attack, achievements, etc.
• For the admiration and/or awe that comes with first place, setting records, achievements or excellent gear?
• Gathering the best gear and loot available?
• Collecting rare items, costumes and other baubles?
• Using cool attacks and spells in aesthetically awesome gear?
• Living out your the story you create for your character?
• Living out the story that the developers have in mind for your character?
• Overcoming obstacles with minimal outside resources?
• Learning more about the world you adventure in, exploring and lore?
• Organizing events for others to participate in?
• Creating a legacy to your name or guild?
• Character progression outside of gear (leveling up, merit points/alternative advancement)
• Finding new ways to play the game?
• Other:

There's probably a poll somewhere that encompasses all of this.



What types of things do you enjoy in an MMO? What drives you to log into the game each play session? But most importantly, are you doing things in-game that you enjoy or do you find you're spending more time doing things you don't enjoy for a smaller amount that you do enjoy?
