Well I made this thread because I want to say something

A few days ago I repaired my old computer which I havent used for like 1 year or more. I opened google chrome to check my email and in the most visited list there was the old PG homepage
(http://www.pirate-galaxy.gamigo.com/). I watched the old trailer over and over and over for like half a hour or more. I remember watching it while waiting for patches.That brought so many memories, almost made me cry.

You know, I have played so many online games I barely remember all their names, but PG was the only game I have taken seriously, I really liked it. I remember playing like 16 hours a day for weeks, only taking food breaks. What a nerd I was. I remember refusing to go out with my friends or family only so I could finish a SM or two. I really loved this game, it was like a member of my family.

During all my PG life, I left twice.First when sol came, I got tired of all that teamwork and grinding and whatever. So I left...but I couldnt resist anyway and I returned again. But then when draconis came, things got ten times worse. Teamwork was the only option, grinding was terrible, SMs were so hard they were boring. What I loved about this game was that it was easy. I mean mmog tend to be hard so you always have something to do and never leave, but PG was very easy yet attractive.So when things turned out against me, I left again. I tried to return several times, but now I do not have anymore the time I had. I am so busy during the week and I can barely find some time in weekend. I just cant play anymore.

For an ex gamer like me, it is so hard to leave games you really love, but sometimes they kick you out. I have left several games before, only I didn't feel so terrible. I wish I never found PG in an old forgotten forum, I guess it was just destiny.

Anyway, this thread was not intended to be about me, but about the game. I believe there are a few old players around feeling like me. I did not intend to bash SS or anything, at the end, its their game and they can do whatever they want with it.

By the way, you can still play the game through the old homepage, only it is not the same game.

Ridoi, my post was not supposed to be a discussion, but it seems you missed the point.

I like challenge, actually I love it, but, if it gets to the point that it is no longer challenge, but stupidity, then all that like drops to zero.

My problem is, I love this game, I admit it, but it keeps trying to kick me out. Its like when you love someone and they dont love you. I just found some determination to grind that stupid amount of cry, and they release another system which the way it is right now, it is not even worth trying.

Regards
Dark Lord

I can't recall how many times i have watchd that old trailer over and over.

PG is probably the game i have spent the most time on, ever. I just get so flushed over by memories sometimes, like when flying around a spot on Dante and almost starting to cry, remembering how i hunted sentinels there, around 2 years ago. So much has changed. Some things to the better, some to the worser...

Yeah you are right. There is an attractiveness about the simplicity of PG. It has simple challenges and even funny moments ( which is sorely lacking now), and the ego-desire to get the best BPs. But now it's too much of a grind fest, not so enjoyable. The result being a slow yet consistant dying interest in continuing further.

So sad in a way......
