for me its the immersion, the world is really beautiful.
game mechanics are okay nothing new or fancy so easy to learn.
i always enjoyed gathering and crafting so im all in for that.
I love to be in a world that not the real world.
so because no one has complained about it, it couldnt have happened? even though im reporting it happened? smdh.
Yes, that’s exactly it. Lol. I’m very active on the forums and especially since the first merge didn’t have free transfer tokens after or even paid transfer tokens, if this was something that happened to random people by bad luck then there definitely would’ve been an uproar on the forums. There would’ve been ragers from every corner vocalizing how trash AGS was.

How does merging of servers put you on different servers? It consolidates servers, not split them. And how did it wipe out your company?
Sorry but I’m just not buying it.
Cause i like the game. it’s much better than what it came with at launch, The game still needs a lot of new content, but ags are on the right track with brimstone sands

I play because I love how immersive the environment is and the fact the place feels real to me. I’m always feeling lost and in need of a map when I’m playing because the world absorbs you. I used to play WoW and I loved it, it was really easy to play without ever looking at the map because I had been everywhere and learnt the environments (with exception to Cataclysm and Pandaland, as I didn’t play them). I always feel as though I’m exploring and finding new things. I’m really enjoying the new Brimstone Sands environment but I do wish that you could scale surfaces that look like they can be scaled! Jumping up and not being able to climb onto a ledge that scrapes your belly is annoying! If we can’t climb something, make it look like we can’t climb it!
I haven’t joined a guild yet though, so I think that’s something that I’m going to do today or tomorrow. It’s the bit I love/hate the most. I love voice comms and getting to know and help people is a massive plus for me. Sadly the amount of people without “Press To Talk” on these days makes me want to give up gaming. Hearing people eat/cough/type/talk to people at home is annoying as hell and really breaks the immersion of games.
I’m looking forward to transmog and load outs as I think that this will really open the game up for a lot of people. I want to try different builds but the thought of trying to find my gear and respec always stops me. I’d rather level a new character than to piss about in the current iteration of bag space. FF14 had the perfect load out system, in my opinion. Let’s hope that it’s something like this! The transmog will be great, as I’d love to mix my gear and choose the colour. The ‘Skins” are great and all but, you can seldom mix those items about because of the colour of them. Being able to change the colour of items (skins as well) would open up new game play, should they allow skin colourisation of course. Let’s hope so! 
I love the realistic weapons and armour and I’m hopeful that one day we’ll have realistic 2 handed weapon skins too. I just can’t play swinging a fridge on a stick, an ironing sword or that silly axe, it’s just to breaking for me. It’s a bit like watching a cartoon film like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it should never have been done. Make a cartoon/animation or make a normal film. Mixing the extremes doesn’t work for me and it’s something that stops me from playing those weapons, which is a shame because the builds look fun but, walking around looking like Buckeroo is a “WTF” moment!!1
Because I intend to see it through.
I do enjoy the game, even with its faults & disappointments.
It has by far the best graphics.
I only paid 40€ once and there is no monthly subscription.
Endgame is lacking yes but you can’t really compare it to a game that has had 10 years to get better, like if this game went down the same road as FFXIV at launch then we wouldn’t have a game to play for almost a year, SE shut down FFXIV from Nov 12 to Aug 13.
I just wish the community could be more forgiving.

The only answer to “why” is going to because it is fun. Maybe this is more of a “what” kinda question instead.
My company mostly. We have become friends over time.
Really enjoy our discord and any ingame activity with them.
I play for the girls
I’ve sunk a bunch of time into this game over the past several years through alpha/beta testing, plus PTR and testing. I was also tracking bugs and releases on Trello boards for many months, so I was highly invested in the game’s success.
I enjoy the gameplay and visuals but now have less time to invest in some of the things above.
The true treasure is the friends you make along the way. 
i really enjoy the pvp its the first mmo and the gameplay is very unique to me even still:)
This is gross
I didn’t, but now I do.
I left a long time ago because everyone around me I was gaming with did, my server had extreme faction imbalance then merged - and the world felt and still feels dead.
Dead as in… there are no NPCs. There are quest givers in the towns, but where are the locals? No one in the inns, no randoms walking around town, no villagers or farmers - how is EVERY SINGLE LAST FARM corrupted or lost? Who grows the food?
I’m coming from ESO and GW2 so I’m used to seeing ‘randoms’ all over the place. Even FFXIV has them.
The lack of them makes the world feel amazingly dead. Given how the UI and combat seem based on ‘Skyrim but fixed’ I mentally also look for Skyrim and ESO like elements like “why can’t I click on this, or take that item there” and again the NPCs (and ESO is an MMO with all of these Skyrim like features so I know it can work in an MMO).
I’m also frustrated that my toon looks like a man. The body is too masculine, and there are no feminine or even gender neutral fashions in the ‘outfits’, and what few are in gear drops can’t be “saved” as skins…
So… That’s why I left.
Why am I back?
Other than the above the game seems to have improved a lot. The actual game mechanics are a lot of fun. So I’m back for now, until the issues above exhaust me again.
The game still feels like it has a lot of potential but isn’t done. I keep playing for that potential, and hoping patches can outpace frustration.
