What keeps you still playing?
« on: October 05, 2015, 01:52:08 am »
Serious question. I'd like to know if you don't mind.

Please don't turn this into a NLW/NLC flame war.

Wow, I'm stumped. The more I think about it, the less I have an answer for that. Damn.

routine? Been doing it so long it feels natural  ??? I recently came back with some friends and I'm trying to find what makes NW 1) so easy to return to 2) why everyone is still the same and continuing.
What I mean by 1 is, games like Call of Duty you play for a bit get bored and never touch it again, why can NW get you back into it all so soon? 2 - you're all still doing 1v1's, the same events etc.

People come back to it because to be playing it properly, you'll always be playing with friends. Not playing it properly, though, are the people who hop from regiment to regiment, not really making any true friends, and then either quitting altogether or moving on to leading their own regiment, which somehow often ends up with tons of members before it disbands.

People come back because no one who played in a regiment for a good amount of time didn't have at least one amazing moment with those people. It's a game you can laugh at, with friends, and equally be super competitive about. It fits a lot of sub-audiences in the audience that plays this sort of game.

"Community" is too broad. Everyone should have a reason to hate "the community" by now, if they've been around for long enough. It's the community that they're in that they like, whether it be an immediate, regiment level, or bigger, like the regiments that they always fight with/against.

Because in my case, this is one of the only games I own where I can play and enjoy the multiplayer aspect. Like, for Arma and other games like that, it's too much, too serious. And for games like Call of Duty, wtf even is the point making clans? In NW I like the time period portrayed, I like how silly it can be, and I like the friends I've made along the way. It's not perfect, but right now I'm content to keep playing. Have been since 2011. Also the 60th Rifles is the best regiment, NW?

1vs1 and big lb´s are sometimes boring but nw has evolved. We have now the NWL ( the nwl is old but nvm ),NLC ( damm global chat ),RGL,GFL,Cav leagues and now a duel League.This  events bring variety.

and the community 2

I came back to NW as at that time i was bored of another game so i decided to play NW. I started off on a random server (tropical paradise  ::)) then got recruited into a line inf regiment and started playing properly. I used to play mainly as artillery with a few cav reg's in between, which i was pretty good at. Now i'm in the current 2nd/1st best reg (probably 2nd though) as a gren, so i guess i haven't got that much else to do but get even better, which with the collapse of all the longstanding regiments as well as those that rose to become very good and competitive ones doesn't seem so rewarding.
