Poll: new, returning, staying or leaving?

Just a quick poll to gauge reaction of the mmorpg.com crowd to TSW new status. Of course, I'm not naive enough to think it'll be enough votes to be statistically significant, nor that it'll be a sign of how the MMO community in general feels, at most how the community of this forum feels.

Personally, I'm a returning player, played from releast and until GW2 release, and returning now to play alongside it.

Note that to try to keep the poll options fewer, I'm just making it so that it says whether you're staying or leaving, regardless of whether you have or not a lifetime account, or whether you intend to keep paying a sub or not.

What can men do against such reckless hate?

    • Not returning 'cause I never played
    As an outsider to the game the gameplay videos I watch just aren't compelling to me.

    I'm in the same position.

    I've played the game during the free month until GW2 came and now I'll be playing it alongside GW2 whenever I have a feel for a different atmosphere.

    In my opinion the game has some game play problems and parts of the game are more of the same.

    The investigation missions, the atmosphere and the deck building aspect are the pros for me.

    No vote.  Never played.  Sort of considering it.  For now, filed in the maybe later category.

    Currently I have no plans to return.

    1. The police station newbie area is too laggy this is the only area that causes me graphics lag and is not fixed even on lowest settings.

    2. Loading times take too long compared to other MMO's no its not the computer. It takes more than 3 seconds that is too long wow loads faster for me so to speak.

    3. The Customization still isn't great and they want to charge me to use the barbershop good lord.

    I am sorry FunCom but this game in its current state is a failure its no better than playing The War Z if you want to kill infected zombies and at least in that game you have to aim not click target click skill.

    Yeah this is the most obvious choice. I havent played nor will I play because I dont feel the game deserves my time or money as my nr 1 prio is competetive PvP and nr 2 persistant world. And I heard this game is pretty weak in those areas and removing the sub. fee does not change that.

    I'm not planning on playing this game ever again.  Still, I would have liked to see a "just show me the results" option in the poll.

    All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.

    I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.

    I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.

    I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.

    I actually just picked it up a week ago because I wanted something different from GW2.  Not only does the game feel like a nice change of pace, but it was a great surprise to find out a few days later that I wouldn't have to subscribe after my free 30 days were up!  yay! :)  Needless to say, I'm sticking with it for now ^_^

    I'm interested in many MMO, so it's hard to get a sub out of me. Joining the game due to b2p.

    1. Your computer

    2. Your computer

    3. Can be bought with money you earn in game. As can most clothes. As can plastic surgery.

     

    Hit t for reticule combat - see its not tab target anymore. And go further than the first quest you might see more than zombies. If you arent even willing to give an mmo a fair try, or learn anything about it, then its not for you anyway. Have fun wherever you land.

    Oops... sorry, forgot to add that option (a bit ironic since I kinda hate when polls don't apply to me and don't include one). As of this post these are the results, for those interested:

     I played before and am returning now - 37.9%

     Never played before but getting it now - 11.5%

     I played before, not planning to return - 17.2%

     I'm an active player, and I'm staying - 32.2%

     Was an active player, and I'm leaving - 1.1%
    Based on 87 votes.

    Currently subbed, and will happily continue to do so.  Best thing about the new plan is that we can continue to play pretty much as we have been -- and even get a few perks along the way.
  • SiugSiug Member UncommonPosts: 1,257
    Bought a lifetime sub and staying ofc :) Gonna try out TESO next year but until then TSW is and will be my number first.
  • erictlewiserictlewis Member UncommonPosts: 3,022

    I went back yesterday for all of 10 minutes.  Went to transilvania and rememeber why I left in the first place.  Tired of grinding out points to stick in the wheel. Tired of the same lame combat animations. 

    Logged off enough said.

    Played a lot for first 2 months. Couldn't afford sub to multiple MMOS so left. I thought i will return when 6 or 7 isues are out so that i have more content. But now since it is B2P, i will be playing this along Star Trek Online.

    So yeah definitely staying. Game has unique settingsand a nice break from  dragosn and centaurs ;)

  • ThorqemadaThorqemada Member UncommonPosts: 1,282

    Not coming back - its a realy good themepark but i was really unhappy with their cporporate decisions and behavior and have not touched a mmorpg since then and miss nothing, have more time for better small multiplayer and offline games.

    I have yet to play a funcom game I thought was worth crap, but am willing to try this.  Bought it for 20 bucks off ebay.
  • SQTOSQTO Member UncommonPosts: 189

    too late, I voted for not planning to return. You really should have had "never played and don't plan to". With the sales numbers that TSW has being so small, the largest percentage of people may not participate because of that. It's really a skewed poll that isn't going to tell you anything worthwhile.
