Finishing up after hour five of playing this game, I started to feel the monotonous  actions of the game. Resulting in me realizing why I really have not played this game for almost ten years, and thats because I find myself getting bored way to easily. Maybe it is because I need to keep working deeper into the game, or I need to change how I play it so I can have a better overall experience. Just maybe, I am playing it wrong, I thought, and I could go about it differently. One of my initial critiques about myself was, maybe I am too lonely in this game, and I should start to make friends who are at a similar level as I, and maybe even the same class. A few issues a rose quickly: at first it was an issue of wait you are taking my kills, which means I can not complete the quest…. So this is going to take me an extra five minutes while we wait on both of us to reach that mandated number.

Secondly, its not a personal experience. You might be thinking, “wait Nils you’re earlier posts talked about all your different options when you are first starting to make the avatar a reflection of the players creativity”. Yes this is true, but personally I HATE playing video games with random people online, that I will never meet. Back in the day when I could afford the time to play video games, I would in a heart beat, play with anyone I actually knew before playing with a random. Likewise, I have never been a fan of the concept where you send random friend requests to people in the game. Yes they may be helping you get through it all, and solve things; but at the end of the day I reason that actually knowing the individual dictates their friend status. I know its something weird, or simply goes to show my own personal investment into video games like this.
