GGE
By: Neamhain Blackmailer Date: June 12, 2015, 11:07 pm

I will eventually ask for this thread to be locked...
Lately, I've been on the verge of quitting GGE. I have my
reasons, but I'm conflicted.
For those of you playing, I'd like to know what you like about
GGE, why you still play it, and if you ever consider quitting
and your reasons for that.
For those of you who quit, I'd like to know why you quit, what
you liked about GGE, and any reasons you'd go back (if there
even are any).

Well! I quit Empire a while ago, and that was mainly because I
was too busy to be as active as my position in the alliance
required, and also because it was getting addictive which my
mother didn't find good, nor did I. I also quit because I was
getting a bit fed up with our local bully who continually
attacked me and members of my alliance, even when my or their
castles were on fire - and we had no chance against him because
he was a ruby player, and I was not.
But! A while ago, I started playing again because I had a bit
more time on my hands. I chose to go back, because I did overall
enjoy the game - I like Medievil times and Empire is a fun game
to play, though it has its cons. I also was surprised the first
time round how many people I met who have become good friends of
mine, some of which I still keep in contact with through email
or something. It's amazing how many lovely people you meet
through things like this - even we all technically met through
the use of GGE!
When I played Empire the first time round, it was a way of
escaping from my life which at that stage wasn't so crash hot.
My first year of high school was rough and not very pleasant and
Empire was a way of taking a break and going to a place where
nobody knew me and I could play in a make believe world. I do
the same with reading or writing or imagining stories - they
help us to escape from our world which might be crashing around
us to a place we might call Heaven. However that's just me, I'm
sure it is not regularly used as a therapy session. :P
There are many reasons to keep playing, as well as many reasons
to quit. It's a great yet frustrating game!
I'm not sure if this helped at all with your choice, may I ask
what reasons you have for considering quitting?

Whenever I go on, it seems like I'm just dealing with the drama
of being the temporary leader of a failed alliance. I can''t
really fix anything and the real leader won't do anything. He
just logs on, ignores everything, and builds up his castle. It's
just a long downfall that started a bit after I started the
game. I joined, our leader went inactive, the second in command
got us in a bunch of wars with crazy alliances, he left, I
verbally ended the war through diplomacy (and could do no more
since I was only a sergeant), the leader came back, brought
someone from his other account's alliance in, quit the game and
made the new guy the leader because of his level, the new guy
never did anything as far as leadership goes, he made me
temporary leader while he's away. I don't want to overstep
boundaries, so I can't really do much. And when he comes back,
anything I do will be undone anyways. It just doesn't seem to be
worth the effort.
If I leave that alliance, I won't be welcomed in the family
alliances. I'd have to join a different one and be attacked by
everyone around me. If I stay in the family alliance, I have no
one to attack because of pacts.
I can only ever attack during the foreign empire events. It's
basically a game of having to over-explain things to ignoramuses
and building up a castle. The diplomacy (which I should be able
to enjoy) has turned into drama. It's just a building game with
a few attacks. There isn't any action, it doesn't seem like
there is much of a goal to it. Plus, everyone gets upset if I
can't be on for two days. They want too much of my time, and on
the converse, if I don't put in time, it seems like I won't make
it far.
I feel as if it was a waste of my time already and that it will
just continue to take time away from me. Especially because,
once the school year starts, I'll have one college class, an AP
class, a bunch of scholar's classes, cross country, and my
obligations to my church. I'm not sure what homework is like
there, but for one night of homework I might have an essay,
reading, 50 math problems (I'll be in calculus, so it takes a
long time), and a few worksheets.
All of the people I met through the game, I can still keep in
contact with outside of the game.
I guess my reasons for not quitting boils down to me not wanting
all of the time I spent to be a waste (though I guess it wasn't,
because of the people I met), and I kind of don't want to leave
the alliance I'm in floundering (there aren't a lot of good
people that I'd be leaving, though).

Mmm... I see. There are some alliances like that, I have been in
a few like that. But I know there are plenty of places that have
welcoming and strong alliances. A lot of people play the game
for the social side, but in your case the social side doesn't
seem to gig very well, aye? Sorry by family alliances, what do
you mean? And what will happen if you were to move your castle
away and find an alliance that is what you want? I would look
out, search around the map for different areas filled with other
alliances and message people in the alliance to see what it's
like, ask them what their values are, what they want to do...
Stuff like that helps determine how the alliance acts. If you
find an ideal alliance then I'd say go for it, but if not then I
suppose there's no point if you just feel like you're wasting
your time.

I am in an LOF sub alliance. A lot of the players around me are
either in the main LOF alliance, a sub alliance, or a friend. So
if I stay in that group, I have no one to attack. Conversely, if
I leave that group, I'll be one of the few targets for people in
that group to attack, so I'll be attacked a lot.
I thought about moving, but with the loss of OPs, I'm not sure
if it's worth it.

I stopped playing simply because I didn't join the game to play
in the first place.
I think that's all I need to say.

I check in on my account sometimes to keep it running, but I
don't actually play. This may be due to Inrazimad, but whatever.
