People still play Fiesta?

[FabledWaltz]

I started playing Fiesta when it first hit open beta. I loved the hell out of it and I was addicted for quite some time. Then, after a small break I come to find out that the game had gone to hell and that it would only continue to get worse from there on out. Outspark has only ever cared about money and their actions have proven it. They're not swimming in money because a lot of people realized how lame the game had become and how much Outspark had destroyed what we grew to love.

What it is now, is nothing what it once was. Fun, enjoyable and addicting. I quit and I am thankful for it but I just do not understand why you people won't let go. Let it die off and pray that a new company picks it up and does it the right way. In the early days, this game had so much more potential than about 90% of the other MMORPGs out there and I was excited to see its future. I have honestly made a lot of great friends here, dealt my own fair share of drama and had one hell of a blast.

Something I've yet to recreate on another game but as much as I loved Fiesta, it just isn't what it used to be (yes, I realize I'm repeating myself a lot). I've always wanted to come back but with the way things are now and continue to be, I can never see that happening.

Who said we aren't letting go? A lot of people quit (including me and several GMs).

I have a question for you tho... Your last post before today was 6 months ago. You came back just to tell us to quit?

[FabledWaltz]

I don't remember making this thread to tell others I quit. I simply made it to ask why people still played the game. Of course, the events following up to me asking are um... a bit lengthy and I just don't have the energy to really explain it all.

Clearly some people are incapable of letting go if the game is still some how running and people are still logging in to do whatever.

It's the way of things. MMORPG's are by nature disposable. You play one, get to the 'end' or however much you can stomach and then "quit", maybe keeping the account information so you can check-in a few months later.


Obviously, the majority of people playing now will not be the same players as in the beginning but people who started relatively recently. Those who've stuck around are obviously the exception. It's also equally obvious that these people derive some sort of satisfaction or utility from doing so, so I think it useless to ask why these people are still playing.


They might be getting even more characters to cap, trying to farm their way to the integer-limit, enjoy 'pwning n00bs' in the FBZ, whatever reason, it doesn't matter.

I stopped playing cuz I got bored xD Haha pretty simple... Sometimes I still play for a while though.

I agree with the 'all OS cares about is money' part though, I mean yeah. Can't blame them for that since it's a free game and they need money as well, but everything's just too much now. For example, just recently, they've started SELLING DANCES. I mean, geez.

And like, you can't be the top/one of the top players without SC anymore. Trust me, I'd know. And by 'top', I don't mean it just level-wise.

I've tried quitting in the past a few times, and the most recent was the longest. But, I'm still in the game. Well, what else could I say xD

Oh and,

I loved the game when it first came out and then I got a taste of what the other versions were getting and the one Outspark manages just wasn't up there. Aside from the fact that OS' version is slightly behind (not by a lot anymore) it just lost its appeal altogether knowing that some skills will never be implemented.

Id say instead of criticising the game or people that play it just don't post that stuff like this game is not interesting or bad. By that you are just disguisting new members which won't join. If you're posting about how you leave its ok peolpe will talk about it but do not post stuff like "this god awful game" or "far below mediocre". And this most of all is not true: "Outspark still only cares about earning money." Yes they do care about money but they do care about people.

Most people who play Fiesta, play for their friends. The community as a whole sucks, but there are a lot of cliques in the servers, and the people tend to get close.

I know thats mostly why I played for so long.

And Fiesta is a first MMO for a lot of people, so they don't know whats out there, thus Fiesta doesn't seem so bad to them.

All my friends have long since quit, I stopped cause I had two accounts banned, then I came back with the new cap raise, and now I think the game is to easy to lvl and everyone below like 80 is half retarded.. and now I know no one so its boring.
