Thread: Why did you quit Gemstone?

  1. Post Why did you quit Gemstone?

    Just wondering why some of you guys quit Gemstone...

    Also, how long did you play and is there a chance that you will come back and play Prime or Shattered? Why?
    I will probably play Gemstone IV next year. Right now I got to familiarize myself with the game (By reading all of play.net).

    GM's enforcing gay ass rules.

    Lack of players.

    Played for years and years and years.

    No real chance of permanent return for shattered. Too expensive.

    I quit for six years because I was burned out, and was working too hard in school to really play. I came back because of the roleplaying, there's no game like it out there.

    (wrathbringer78) I think that's it. Viril is one big obnoxious ambient script.

    I've played for 2 months in the past year and a half or so. Basically, without Dev for sorcerers there was not enough going on in game for me to try to work full time, school part time, and play. I will return once either Tiqal or Strathspey gets serious about the sorcerer lore review.

    I would say because there was nowhere to go after cap and Nelemar but if I was being totally honest I'd say the RP, 'magic' of the game and population.
    The friends I didn't see any more and pretty much everywhere I went to look for it was like a ghost town with just memories so I put it down.

    I stopped playing once because of lack of time and once because of lack of resources and liquidating helped pay for my last semester of undergrad.

    I came back because I have a really good job with some not so great hours and some time to kill at odd times of the day. And really, echoing Drew, I haven't been able to find another roleplaying community like this one. I really enjoy the people, the lore and the world that can be impacted and changed based on the characters actions who live in it.

    In my case the question would be "Why haven't you quit Gemstone yet?"

    The answer is I don't fucking know.

    I can actually access the game from work when I do play, so my usual excuse of no time doesn't really fly now (although it was true when I cancelled my accounts).

    So I'll probably reactivate eventually and give Shattered a whirl.
