Why do you play?

[slvrmoontiger]

Sometimes its very difficult to play because things get very stressful on you. I think I enjoy the game. I like the story. I like playing or doing something I could never possibly do in real life.

I'm primarily a "killer" type, although a bit reluctant... I'm not here to grief, I'm having too much fun with the other facets of the game...

[LauraMars]

To have fun...usually.

Blame the time I spent running with the Amazon Basin crew in Diablo 2... they showed me some things about cooperative playying that blew my mind... also, the prisoner's dilemma.

It's a challenging game on so many levels.  And fortunately, it's full of great folks capable of wild collaborations filled with deranged but often brilliant sparks of imagination/storytelling.

After 14 years, I am still awestruck at some of the events/situations produced by Armageddon, and as recently as this calendar year, I can safely say I was involved in a thing that pretty much trumped the majority of my previous "situations."  To play a game for over a decade and still be floored like that?  Shit man, that's a good sign.

It's not a perfect game, and perfect people/staff don't play it... But I have yet to find anything else quite like it.

I am in complete agreement there -- I haven't played this game as long, but I've also found that this game will surprise me day after day. As Norcal said, it's a new game every time you log in.

I feel like pretty much every player on here deserves a kudos, because this is the best playerbase I've ever encountered in terms of the quality of RP.

One last note is that I love how Armageddon doesn't enforce any gender role BS, and has always been a friendly place for chicks who like to kick complete and total ass without being subjected to chauvinist bullshit. By the same token you can play a completely helpless/dependent commoner, and that fits into the setting as well. Wonderful freedom and variety!

Eh, I am done crying over the shit that happens in this game, so I'm done playing.

I enjoy creating personalities and allowing the logical conclusion to happen as a consequence of their personalities.

Murder, corruption, betrayal.

Oh, did I mention seeing 9 hours in Zmud time played realizing you hv been playing for that long almost without any dead moments? Fuck yea, I love you guys

Writers are completely out of touch with reality. Writers are a crazy person. We create conflict - for a living. We do this all the time, sometimes on a weekly basis; we create horrible, incredible circumstances and then figure a way out of them. That's what we do.

To escape the monotony of my RL--wake up, go to work, work, go home, go to sleep, day in, day out-- and engage in MUD monotony of hunting, foraging, selling, day in, day out.  Seriously.  I find immense pleasure in the isolated monotony in the game.  Don't care for the money.  Don't care for interaction.  Just want my monotony set in a harsh, barren, fantasy world.

Hey all, I am a complete noob to this game but not from mudding as a whole (came from IRE MUDs) and have found that this game's community to be one of the most welcoming I have ever found, after 5 years of mudding I have found that this game offers the most opportunities the most quickly, the depth of the RP I have already been involved in is astounding and I would like to make a huge shout out to all of you players, and the admin for creating such an amazing game.
