[Ray2064]

I'll play the contrarian here, I suppose. I've been playing SL2 for quite some time. 2015? 2016? Something like that- before I'd made my discord, I know that much.

To be honest, I hated it. G6 was miserable for me, and I've never quite been able to pinpoint why. Perhaps it was the community, perhaps it was the game itself, or perhaps it was just being a teenager or some other such thing, but, when I quit, I fully expected to never come back. The game wasn't fun for me. I didn't like how static the world was. I didn't like how little of a purpose being around seemed to have. I didn't like how unless you knew someone, you were no one. Perhaps that doesn't hold true for some folks' experience, but, it certainly felt like it held true for mine.
.....

And I can understand that not feeling good, if it's not what you enjoy. I didn't enjoy the Great Six, but I'm aware there are a great many who did, and prefer it to Korvara. Nothing wrong with that, but, on a personal level, that 'pain' was entirely worth it. I enjoy the game more than I ever have.

fuck you pho u suck at ur job



...Okay, I originally just came here to poke fun at Robin, though I might as well add my own experience, since it's something I feel like could be relevant, from a new-Korvara-player's lenses.

I've been trying to get into the game a couple of times amongst the past few years, to no avail. Whether it was the relative lack of support, people not bothering to lend me a helping hand when I was clueless about all, and the lack of ways for myself to truly get ingrained into the world and more often than not just feeling like an extra , having to watch others supposedly having fun amongst themselves just for a feel of it.

By sheer coincidence, around last year and the same date , as I was leaving another RP community, I tried to find myself another sort of timesink I could just get myself into to escape the common woes of real life. I decided that, maybe I should give this game a shot once again, and by sheer coincidence, arrived shortly after Korvara was released, a few weeks afterwards or so.

I once again started as some completely unaffiliated character , who was as much trying to find his footing into the world ICly as I was OOCly. Though here, the open-ness and public RP actually came into my favor. People showed me around, taught me things, gave me reasons to RP and stick around both on IC and OOC levels, something I could never quite thank them enough for.

Through some RP and will to truly give a shot at interacting with more players and having structured RP, I ended up having my char join Geladyne. My expectations were pleasantly fulfilled, and my first wants'n needs satisfied.


Though after a while, I've fully bit into Eden's apple, and that whole "woah" factor somewhat dissipated for me, save for rare occasions such as the most recent huge Korv update.
Though I've stayed around for the sole reason that I ended up realizing that I do enjoy RPing on this game,that there are some characters, plotlines and players that I'd like to stay around for despite the fact that I've grown weary of playing with the new toy, already. Even if that type of enjoyment I get out of the game honestly makes it very hard for me to actually play any other character other than my main, or rather, did for a while.
