edited August 2010 in Praise for the Game
Oof.<br>So I haven't been on in a billion years and all..<br>I mean I go online and stuff and on other games..<br>I love this game a ton and all.. But I guess I'm losing interest.<br>Sad. Sad. Sad.<br>Makes me unhappy to think about because since I was in like third grade I've been playing this game.<br>I'd stay up on my dad's computer until 4am on school nights playing it and eventually got in trouble lol XD<br>But now it's just... I don't know :(<br>It's sad.

  • My feelings are similar to yours. I still enjoy the forums and the game is pretty good, but when I first started playing 2 years ago I LOVED the game. Like as soon as I got home every day I just had to play it. I think part of it was being a clueless newbie. You didn't have to breed fancy dogs, watch for good stats, or train all of your dogs. All you had to do was have fun, breed all the dogs you wanted, and pick whatever breed you liked most. Once you get into the game more and learn more you have to become a "responsible" dog breeder, only breeding fully trained dogs with good stats, spending hundreds of thousands to get good dogs and never being able to find a breed you wanted to stick with. No offense or anything, to all the accomplished, succesful players out there. I totally respect you, but sometimes I wish we could all be those clueless newbies again, just playing for the fun of it. Once you start trying to breed lines, or get national show dogs or something, to me it becomes more work than play. And a lot of VPians are fine with that. To them this is more than a game. Trust me, working towards goals is fun, usually more fun than just breeding/showing for no purpose. Still, I had more interest in the game when it was all new to me. It was like a whole new world to explore, and no one could tell me what to do or how to do it. That was the fun of the game. Don't get me wrong, I still like the game, I just don't find it as interesting as it used to be.<br><br><span style="font-size:50">PS- Should this be in a different section? After all this is PRAISE for the game. </span>

  • Also I think part of it is me giving up after not being able, for about a year now, to get top dogs in the game, while in the other game I play I have the #1 Shiba and multiple other high ranking dogs.

    <br><br>Yeah, it can be challenging. But I guess it would get really boring if there was no challenge to it.

  • <span style="font-size:85"><span style="color:#0000FF">Its weird cause I'm totally in love with this game lol<br>Come December 27th, I'll be here for 6 years and I'm still in love. . . The only thing is, and its weird. . .<br>IF I go away for like a vacation trip and its more than a couple days, I find my self resenting the internet when I get back. <br>Like I would rather sit in a corner then sit at the desk and check my email and this game and such. But I know I have 'responsibilities' on here<br>so I force myself and within like 2 minutes of me coming back on, I'm totally in love with it again lmao XD I'm weird.</span></span>
  • Lol yeah, I took a break for a few months and wasn't sure if I was coming back, but this summer life was slow and boring so i decided to try it again and now I'm not sure that I want to leave.
