Why Do You Quit

[Zandan]

I usually quit because the game gets boring. Usually that happens when friends I make in the game quit or become very inactive. That also usually happens when I hit the max level or a satisfying level.

Only one game caused me to quit before I got to a satisfying level and that was Maple Story. The community on that game is just the worse I've ever seen.

I quit WoW twice i think and i'm back now.
Mostly cause it costs alot and i'm not good at economy there, poor all the time -- but also cause it got boring and most people there are immature, i used to play RuneScape when i was little, but when i got WC3 it got BORING)RS), also MapleStory, but that wasn't just fun anymore at all.

I was an original WoW player since Vanilla WoW days (Pre-BC).
It's all my fellow marines (back at that time) and I played post deployment. I had to quit to pursue my AA degree.

I got back into playing WoW again in 2007. Took a 3 month break because I needed it.
Back in Oct/Nov 2009 I applied to work for Blizzard Ent. I got the job (x_X).
Now I'm a full time Blizzard Employee since my probation with them finally lifted Feb of this year.

I quit final fantasy XI because i was to lazy to put my new card in the payment. I plan to play final fantasy XIV instead.

I quit playing MMOs 'cause I got too addicted.

MMOs is a helluva drug.

[Souhi]

I'm still a WoW player, and the only reason I'd quit is if the community of guildies and friends I've made over the past 4-5 years were to gradually fade away. Admittedly it's happened a bit because of this pre-expansion lull/dead zone of new content, but with Cataclysm around the corner, I won't be quitting anytime soon.

[TomoyoSakagami]

I always quit but then half the time, I go back to playing it again.

Now I just pace it out in my life, if I feel as if I've been playing too much, I'll take a break from it.

[Saxima]

I quit mostly because it just gets too repetitive and boring.

[Darksword66]

Hmm, i normally quit MMO's because of the story line, crappy society, or things more on those lines. Also i feel that you need to balance grinding and quests, which most fail at badly.

I also sometimes quit for stupid reasons like if i have to spend 3 hours to get something cause they one thing doesn't spawn...for a long time.

Though i have come back to wow many times, currently not playing it but plan onto soon again, though I think i'll stay more with ff14 when it comes out. But most of all, for payment mmo's its cause i can't pay for it.

I quit playing Guild Wars mainly because I didn't have anybody to play with. I have small numbers of friends in real life, and am little good at making online friends. If I had a better computer I'd give Star Trek Online and Guild Wars 2 a go, but in the end, with my dismal social stats(CHA isn't a dump stat after all), it'd turn out the same way in the end.

I quite FlyFF and Rappelz because they're terribly designed games with neither soul nor fun You put 'fly' in the title and you can't even do that right, why did you make me waste my time grinding up to that point?!.

[lcycrow]

Gaiaonline- because alot of school work has to be done!

Combat arms- Alot of laggers and glitches.

ALL MMO- that i never heard of.

[MistaCloudStrife]

You mainly quit to live your own life. You get carried away playing MMOs and you miss out on the real MMO; your own life. :P Lol @ nerdy-*** analogies.

[Gero50]

There can be a lot of reasons to quit a MMO. For me it was due to personal life issues, and the fact I had college coming soon. Maybe when I finish college up here soon I will get back into it.

[PinkCherimu]

Usually it's because of computer issues :/ Or that the only thing you can do in the game is grind =3=
Another reason is because it's simply super hard to lv...

If I really like the game though, even if I quit, I'll start playing again after a few months :0

Games are typically repetitious and often without end - over time it just wears you down. I am a long time player of RuneScape but decided to retire last year when it got so boring that I just could not keep interested. These days I prefer to be talking to people about something, doing something irl, or learning something - keeps things interesting!

[Lily Rock]

Right now I'm on the edge on either leaving or staying on WoW, probably stopping for a month or two after this paytime is over, probably gonna test Guild Wars or some new game.
I got 2 85's, getting new gear here and there, but yeah, I play abit too much even if I play 4 hours per week.

[cocogame]

Sometimes I quilt one game, maybe it is waste lots of my time, maybe it is interesting enough and so on, I think different people have different reasons

[Nesh]

I start playing like crazy at first ....but then I get really bored and quit
*don't seem to be enjoying the game like the first times

[Xeyuzio]

I've quit FFIII because I couldn't beat it and stopped playing Pokemon because I am a perfectionist and ruined the game for myself.

[Meteorkeeper]

It's always the same thing for me...boredom I grow tired of it after a time.
The length of time it takes for this to happen always varies from game to game but it will happen it always dose.

I don'tfully quit, but when I do kinda 'quit', it's only because I don't have time, for some reason the game won't run in a new laptop or computer I have, and moving. Like right now, I have no choice but to quit in one of my most spent time and money game because they only have north america server, and will have to make another character and account for another server.[/FONT]

[Elukien]

Boredom. The games are fine and some are pretty sweet but they just get boring after awhile. Also the whole running back and forth doing quests constantly gets rather repetitive.

[Mattey]

kuz i get bored or that i get scammed(yeh im not to bright about who to trust xdd)

[TenguSan]

same reasons as most i guess.. gets boring, no friends to play with, or find something better.

WoW - I played this for five years. I was in a decent guild because I had decent connections and was known in my circle as a reliable 5 man tank and dps. I raided a few times but never really liked doing it. I don't like to voice chat. If I want to hear people talk I'll have/go to a LAN. I like to blast my music when I play. I got bored, all my friends quit, and the elitism was astounding. Sorry, I don't need full Wrath purples to tank Heroic Gundrak. DIAF. I was also upset with the changes to Warriors and DKs, my main classes. I like the game enough to give it a chance again in the future, if it goes F2P.

Lord of the Rings Online - Played a month, but it was F2P by that point. Looked good, played similar to WoW. Just not a lot going on so I got bored.

Star Trek Online - Played three months, quit, played another three months and quit. First, I'd had it since the Beta. I really enjoy Star Trek, but I found the game boring and glitchy. I returned later when some friends wanted to try it, and found it much, much better, but the missions are too repetitive for me. There's also been an influx of the WoW idiots. A big part of why I left WoW was due to the utterly worthless community. Star Trek wasn't as bad, but I couldn't find people to play with that either knew what they were doing, or would at least take advice. I also did not want to join anyone's fleet and then have to wear their uniform.

SW TOR - I'm looking forward to this. Other than Duke Nukem and Battlefield, this will be the only PC game I buy for the forseeable future, as I now have PS3. I never get tired of Star Wars, and like another poster, I play more for the stories and the adventure of exploring a world than I do for raiding and epics. My WoW crew will be playing this with me as well as some folks I've recruited from work. Exception - If I'm attending police academy, I'll be holding off till graduation so I can give 100%.

I enjoy roleplaying to some extent. I'm not one of those Olde English people, or the OOC-police...but I remember older games where guild/clan meetings took place in-game, a system was used for people to speak in turn, and people actually filled their assigned roles. Sometimes it was frustrating, but it brought a sense of community and visualization that Ventrilo or a forum cannot. I believe my clan in the original Jedi Knight Dark Forces II worked this way, and we all roleplayed as members of an Imperial fragment. It was quite fun. STO had some of that in certain locations and channels and I had fun with it. I suspect SW TOR will as well.
