I find myself unable to game casually. For me, it’s all the way or not at all. Having being turned down from a few raiding guilds on Najena, I find it hard to swallow the feelings of rejection and turn to one of the more casual ones.
Being able to excel and achieve is an important goal for me, not just in a game, but anything else I do. This is the same reason that allows me to dedicate myself to one particular game and nothing else for years. I’d much rather succeed at one than be mediocre at a few. The sense of achievement and accomplishment are huge motivators in my gameplay. When the chances of them start diminishing, I find myself rapidly lose interesting in the game concerned.
What’s your playstyle?
Games – Can’t seem to attach myself for more than a few minutes. Last game I tried was Allods, which -after a 1½ hour download- ended uninstalled within some twenty-odd minutes because I just couldn’t justify any fruitful activity to the screen/colors/animations appearing before me. It’s not games themselves, rather the entire concept just won’t inspire me.
Work [comes close enough] – very very thorough. Essentially 24/7 sans physical limits. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8JkSEvyFhM :-)
