I've played off and on since 2006 or 2007, started sometime when a bonus 10x exp event was going on. My main reason for leaving is there isn't so much of a community feel between players. I can work a hectic schedule, like the next 2 weeks I'll be working 12-16 hours a day, so.. Time is pressing, guilds aren't a great option when you can suddenly have rl take over all your time, as activity is a must. I've always found difficulties in finding levelling parties, and believe it or not, in all this time, I have yet to make a trans. My highest character is my wizard, 90/50, and I can only play a short duration. Gets boring soloing everything rather quickly. It seems anymore the expected thing to do is to buy a leech, while newer players, or sometimes older that just don't have a ton of time on their hands, don't have that kind of money. So, in my opinion, it almost feels like you have to "buy" your way around here anymore. When I first started, we had nearly 10 fold the amount of players, and it was a lot friendlier once you filtered through the bots and obnoxious ones. The players make the server.
