Curiosity inspires me to ask these questions.
1) What is the "sweet spot" for you all when someone can fully participate in the game (competitively engage in all available activities) with 1 subscription/character? Never? (eg, 10+ years), 5 years? 7.5 years? (How long WoW has been out so far...), 9 years (how long Eve has been out?)
2) What is the LONGEST you have ever played a single MMO. Subscribing without playing doesn't count, nor does a game you went back to several times with big subscription lapses.
I have played MMO's for quite a long time now. I started with Ultima Online and played that for about 2 years solid and then on and off over the years. I then switched to Everquest and played that pretty consistant for about 5 years (really enjoyed the variety of races/classes). Then I took a break from MMO's for awhile and worked on real life things. Then DDO came out and played that for about 2 years solid. Dabbled with WOW after that and really didn't care for the community. Now I am currently looking for next "real deal" and PFO sounds like it might be the one. I own a local game store and we are all Pathfinder loyalist and we all have high hopes that these great ideas become a reality.
3) Why did you stop playing the game you played the longest, if you played in spurts, why did you stop going back?
4) If PFO mechanically copies the following systems but strings them together into a believable economy and world, how long will you play it before becoming bored?
-WoW Combat
-Eve Manufacturing
-Eve Skill Training
-SWG Harvesting
-Shadowbane settlement construction
