Why I left...... There were changes made to pvp, so the bounty board dried up almost completely, and since bounty hunting was the one thing I enjoyed doing in the game, I lost interest.
I could have stayed and levelled instead, but I had had quite enough of that. I sat at end of content for months before I started bountyhunting july 26th 2010, and once I started, I was hooked. I've never been at end of content again ever since... hehehe
On february 17th 2011, I did 86 bounties in one day and got my crystal medal for it. There were about 6 pages of bounties a lot of the time back then. Soon after that, the board dried up and I was lucky if there were 2-3 bounties up (not even a page).
I know how levellers feel about pvpers, I was cofounder of FFS for a long time till I decided to go inactive and left. I used to be a leveller, and I was number one in my month till 9 months after I completely stopped levelling. It's really not as bad to get hit though, if you think about it. It takes a couple of creature kills in a hunt to regain the xp you lose in a pvp attack.
I have many many friends in the game, and I came back because I missed them. I stay because I am able to jump back and forth between the guilds some of them are in, and it just makes it all that much more fun for me. I'm mostly in Warrior Kings and Order of the Dark Plague thanxx to Baoh, Budro and Ryebred accepting that (thanxx guys!! <3 ), but I also go visit FFS whenever I feel like it, (thanxx Urck! <3 ), and I was invited to visit The Evil Dead as well, so I was there for a few days too (thanxx RageAnger!! <3 ). It's exciting to spend time with old friends in those guilds, and since they also have members I didn't know before, I've made a lot of new friends as well.
Another thing that really made me decide to stay this time, eventhough I was pretty clueless again of buffs and gear was all the help some of my sweet friends gave and still give me, in regards to those very things.
I saw somewhere, not sure it was in this thread, that some people think guides kill the game. I disagree. Having info available sure helps. It doesn't mean you should just stick to the guides, and I doubt anyone does, but it does help.
I am ranting...
Guess what I am trying to say, is that it'd be nice with more bounties
