We will be briefly talking about what we have seen happen in kiss over the previous 4 years that kiss has been around in the game of Guild wars.
There seems to be 3 phases to what happens in Guild wars generally and day to day.
- Some prople are more advanced gamers than others and tend to progrress through the game much faster than Mr Average Joe. This relates to boredom long term and good friendly players not wanting to help new players of the game because they have done the quest or mission a million times before.
- With Guild wars being almost 6 years old now, it is getting to be one of those games this is just tedious to play for some people. Guild wars is one of those you take a break from but never quit playing. This issue long term prevents people from keeping in touch because they are playing something else. Kiss has been a great motivator for alot of people playing the game day after day.
- Seasonal issues, the biggest one being summer time. Most people just disappear without a word on holidays, vactions, they get dragged out by parents for lunch at the sunday pub with no Wi-Fi damn it.
With all of the above taken into account and the main point being while some just disappear others still play but get bored. This is where we are hoping to change things for the better. It is not like kiss is not friendly enough as it is right? There is a great bunch of people in kiss and some really dedicated mature leaders. All we are looking to do is give people a little more to as friends and as a community.
