People being bored

Postby Deltin » Tue Feb 25, 2003 11:48 pm

After reading the many posts about people getting bored with the mud etc I decied to offer a possible solution.
I have never played an evil race character, however I would be willing to start a brand spank me new character if I could find enough people who also wanted to play. What I would propose is that we meet 1x per week for like 2 hours regardless of boot status, no equiping from another character, all gear must be gotten as a group, no power leveling.
Now the reason for this is when I first started playing I seemed to be playing the same times as an invoker who was about the same level as me, we explored evermeet and got the gear by questing and killing mobs not trading, buying or bidding for alts. This was probably the most fun I had ever had. Suimar and I had a great time logging lots of hours exploring etc. and the same could be done on the evil side or the good side. Just a thought for people who are bored and need ideas.

then what, get bored all over again? the solution to boredom is to get rid of everything you have and start over? but you don't like the ideas of pwipe? thank you, drive through twice.

Nice reply Daz, I think he was asking for people interested in doing what he proposed, not for you to shit on it.

He doesn't force anyone to start from scratch, he only asks if someone (that is bored) wants to spend a little time grouping, having fun exploring, questing and killing mobs.

and maybe my point was that we should try and find ways to keep people from getting bored in the first place. but thanks for putting words in my mouth, i rather appreciate it.

Well you could try:

Holding your own RP events.
Holding your own contests.
Running your own quests.
Writing a zone.


Ask not what Sojourn can do for you, but what can you do for Sojourn.

Deltin wasn't suggesting "that" kind of quitting. What he was suggesting was a group of people who already have fun together embarking on a different kind of adventure within the game.

Incidentally... your solution might be to quit regularly, but there are plenty of people who don't have the general issues of dissatisfaction that you seem to have... or if they do they don't blame the game.

I've been wanting to start an ebil or another character in general (preferably ebil:P). So this sounds like great fun to me. Pls give me an mmail or something and tell me what you think. I'll play about any class so I can help fill a role in a group:)

Daz, the times you made a new char ..you always had eq you could transfer over. Deltin's suggestion to have NADA eq/no trading or nothing ....all from scratch.

I've seen that more then once :P

Oi Deltin, count me in..when do you want to start :):)

Whelp, I'm not exactly bored with the mud so I guess this doesn't really apply to me per say. But I would like to say that I did do something that did spruce up my fun factor. Sometimes I toss all my 50th level gear on a 20th level char and lead zones with people I don't normally know. (for the most part). I'm not talking exp, but actual zones. Usually ones they've never done before.

I've found this is very fun for me atm. I get to meet all kinds of new and different people I wouldn't normally meet being an evilrace girl. The fact that I have zero zone use spells creates a dependance on the skills of others.

I started doing this not out of boredom, but as a way of thanking those goodrace only players who are especially valued to me as friends. :mrgreen: And a personal desire to want to spend more time with them.

agree Deltin

Postby muma » Sat Mar 01, 2003 7:21 pm

I can't agree with you more, the best way to not get bored is to give yourself some challenge and not use elite eq. then you have to kind of interact more and work harder as a team. anyways, ooc is also nice hehe.

Deltin,

I also think this would be pretty fun. I had actually rolled a character where I wasn't going to juice him up with high level gear, or even accept gifts from other players. I was gonna earn what I got gosh darnit! Of course, I wasn't playing here at the beginning of the wipe, so that could be part of my madness =P

Look me up,
