You don't actually 'win' it at any point. It just keeps going and so you keep going (as opposed to previous game where u kill the big bad boss at the end and the credits roll and you uninstall and move on with your life).<BR/><BR/>Another thing I notice is the 'keeping up with the Jones's' mentality in this game. The fact is, there will always be someone who has more time/money/gear than you and will always be ahead of you (at least from your perspective). So, I had to (and sometimes still have to) remind myself that I'm playing to have fun and not to beat anyone else or to compare my toon with others.<BR/><BR/>I also have spent way to much time thinking about the 1 hour of playtime I'm gonna get this evening and planning what I'm going to be doing with it!<BR/><BR/>One way I avoided the draw to play to much is to /gquit and formed a guild with my wife and another local couple we are friends with and play with. So, 4 RL people and their alts in a single guild. Sure, I don't get all the perks of instant help at any time and all the Guild banter but its much more laid back and I don't feel that pressure to hurry up and join my guildies doing xyz.Terroxianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602369917584187355noreply@blogger.com
