Why?

Ok there are many debates about MO here and everywhere. People say it is garbage. People say it is the best game ever.
What we do know is people do leave the game in droves. So my question is. If the game is so good why do guilds leave enmasse?
No flaming just a real question. Since release hundreds if not thousands of people have left the game. And I am really talking about WHOLE guilds just up and leave.
Discuss..

who left?
ACO are there
AQ are here
Wessex are here
13 got kicked to shit and died
SS never left after huge losses
Top alliance merged with chaos
myrm died and rest joined BRB
.....so who actually left?
it's simple, the idea of the game is just amazing, there is simply nothing like it anywere else. the immersion, the seemless world, the feel of combat, the ever present danger, thiefs, the mount system, the taming system, very little grind,graphycs, etc, etc it's just all incredibly fun, fresh and very exciting.
on the other hand, the actual coding of the game is absolute garbage. there are soo many bugs, soo many things that just dont work as they should, so many ways to exploit, so many fatal errors, so many server crashes, so many stupid (and serious) little glitches that keep coming back patch after patch after patch, and it all comes back to coding.
they just dont have good programmers..... is that simple.
they have an awesome idea of a game that gets completely ruined by programmers that are just not very good at coding a video game this complex. they had to get a friken subscriber (fan of the game) to build their game launcher, for crying out loud, because the one they built was complete garbage and wouldn't work half the time. this is no joke.
this is why people end up leaving the game. not because of lack of content or because it's not fun but because of the inability of SV to actually fix things properly and permanently. what is there is incredibly fun when it works, unfortunately it doesnt work half the time.
haha, I don't know what's trolling about saying "thousands of people have left this game", making up numbers and ignoring the number of people who have subbed since launch... This is one of those threads designed so people can recite the MO bashing they've been reciting forever.
LOL I like what you did here.
SS- I know they never left but being a member of SS when I left the game I know for a fact the numbers are no where near what they used to be. I talk to Raific ( He quit) and still go in the Vent from time to time.
DC- Numbers are dismal.
ACO- Can not really comment on them because I really never dealt with them
AQ- Numbers are no where near what they used to be.
Wessex- Some people went back to DF and some left to go to perpetuum, again numbers no where what they used to be
13- I will not agree that they "got kicked to shit" but you just said they left so that answers your question ".....so who actually left?"
TOP alliance- Chaos got what was left over from everyone that quit. Or chaos would have 200 people in it. Do you not remember all the threads bashing TOP for having so many people. Especially TT who is gone. Remember TT made TOP alliance.
Myrm- Died? Or do you mean most pf the players left? Or do you just not want to say most of the players left. And yes the couple that stayed joined BRB. So does that mean Myrm did not leave?? By that reasoning 13 did not leave either. Because a couple of the people that stayed from 13 started BRB. Also I talked to Clandestine the other day in Fab. He just resubbed to check on the game. So does that mean 13 is still in game??
I guess you forgot Prom alliance, the first alliance to own a keep. Also 13's Oasis had many guilds in it all gone. Or Prophecy, Halrequin, DC (OH I know it was your guild but most of your guys do not play anymore).
A- Thief guild left the game Klart came back to test things out subbed this month and he is now unsubbed again.
Los Bambidos Allaince- I guess you forgot about them.
TOG- is pretty much dead.
Vynn and Alys guild- Can not remember the name of it I was sad to see them go. They did do a lot for noobs. I never killed them or stole from them.
I am sure there are more I am missing. These are just the ones I dealt with or had vent info on.
Just jumping in to say that Myrm 'died' because the entire server allied against them and destroyed every asset they owned. They then made a series of rage posts about how everyone was OP but them, and most of them still post/play with different clan forum tags.
Though I am suprised at your list: who would have thought gamer-driven MMO alliances could possibly fall apart
Nice one of the people that think Myrm left because their houses got burned down. Actually they pretty much were not in the game before that happend. I was there at the destruction of Myrmopolis. 4-5 Myrm showed up to try and stop the 50+ people that destroyed it. And it was not even what I call Myrm it weas the B crew. (froxer, Cyde, etc) No Godly, Shara, Angarato, WarChild, Nakieon, Ode. ANd yes I do know there are 2-3 Myrm still kicking around.
I love your end line tho. I show that look tons of guilds quit with udreds of people. And Here you are "well it was destined to happen because it was an MMO alliance not the gmaes fault. LawL.
Loool
I never said 13 left the game, they just died out when bizzy went, like anyone was actually sad he was gone.
Did i not say most joined BRB
Los bandidos- finnish zerg, they left and come back then left again.
The old gamers? - i saw some come into wessex mumble last week.
thief guilds, and klart :O hahah, he left plobs because I killed him all the time.
Vynn and lys guild, jesus that was WAY back, near start of release, and that was only 2 people who was merchants.
about wessex, wessex doesn't leave or join games, you failed there, since im in wessex, we active in 3 games, and members move around on those 3 games, your fail, for example im playing xsyon and mo.
TT- leader got tired of game hes playing xyson now. i was speaking to him yestaday.
You mentioned thousands, but I ONLY see a few, and we talking about guilds that quit in mass drove, so far only one on that list is right which is los bandidos.
so the list is
los bandidos
Also I mentioned those guilds first because i KNEW you would try and TROLL about the guilds.
Like so many others have said: MO is great in concept, terrible in implementation. So do yourself a big favor and stay well clear of this game.
My gaming blog
Whilst I'd stay clear of the game for a while yet (unless you're fine with bugs) you're incorrect about Wessex.
There's a fairly large Wessex branch still at MO.
{mod edit}
GD-gone I know it was yours but a lot of the people that were in GD do not play anymore. I know you do and Duffo.
13-gone
Harlequin-gone did you gloss over them??
Oasis Alliance-gone
Prophecy-gone
Prom Allaince- Which was a shit ton of people ask Syndic (gone) And many guilds. I am sure syndic can come in here and refresh my memory as to which guilds were in it.
A-gone- I am sure they 15 people that were in that guild left because of you lolz. I was there when they got their house destroyed didn't see you there.
Vynn and Ally-Actually shows how much you know they were the first "talar matar" ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE IN NOOBS OUTFIT THEM AND SHOW THEM THE GAME. GONE. And just because you can not remember them. I do. They had a huge presense in the game when they were here. Ask anyone who has played since release.
TT- GONE. I love how you reason they are not gone because they got tired of the game and left. That equals guild left derp. And yes I know he in in Xsyon I talked to him as well a couple days ago in Xsyon. You know Xsyon a game with actual sandbox stuff in it. And Chaos got the scraps of people that did not leave the game TT and TOP was a huge alliance I would dare say the biggest the game has had to date and a lot of them left.
Los Bambidos-gone they came and left and came and left again because why??? I remember why do you. hint. Game sucks. They came back right after the EPIC patch. And we all saw how that went down. So guess again why they left again.
TOG- Yeah you saw 1 of them out of the 30 plus they used to have, that is my point.
Myrm-Mostly gone. Unless you see Shara, Asmo, Godly, Warchilde, Nakieon, Odie, Angarato, or the rest of the real Myrm, not the 1 or 2 that still play but are in other guilds. Cyde still is in game I like Cyde he is my dude. But he is a sucker for punishment.
But I do love how your mentality works either you forget what guild we are talking about or it does not count that most or all the members are gone but it doesnt count because of some variable.
Wessex. What I do know about Wessex is. It may be going strong with new recruits but a lot of the people I used to fight against left. So kudos for activily recruiting.
And I was thinking last night let me add somemore to the list.
Papacy Unified- gone? Pope Urban has not had a post since Aug 2010.
Oromea-gone
Pathfinders-??? have not seen any of them maybe you have
Also you seemed to gloss over the guilds that I mentioned have declining numbers. SS, DC, AQ. As I said I was in SS when I left and DC and SS numbers where half what they used to be.
I did not say anything about AI because they usually do not do anything but sit in a room and talk about why a rock has a certian kind of shadow, maybe it means the coming of an EPIC mob. And they usually did not have big numbers. And they regularly do not play for long periods of time. See League of legends.
Hell While I am at it. Player run events that died
Kill the Bevo-done I was at the last kill the Bevo, it stoped because no one was showing up to it. The last KTB was a couple myrm, me and a couple Prom, and campana. All together under 10 people in GK for a player run event. Awesome numbers. I did score 2 kills on Bevo with a noob sword. I was happy,.
NGF-done Great Idea. Only problem is could not get the full 20 people into it and people would regularly quit the gmae and not show up to fight which put a wrench in the works. Also Board members would quit the game. If people trying to help the game by making a player made event quit, what does that say??? I know about NGF because I was one of the people that started it.
Done
How do you know Ange's age when it isn't posted in his user profile?
Why does it matter?
Or do you just like to discount people's response/insult them just cause you disagree with them?
" The whole "I am right and you are wrong because I said so" always wins with [minors]." is a fact?
Well osmunda thankyou for pointing out to me that I accused him because I consider him young. For that I apologize. But it does not change my opinion that he tries to win a lot of arguments with "I am right and you are wrong because I say so. See the UE3 thread you are having a discussion with Betel. He basically says I am right but I do not need to show proof. I will not cast aspirtions at someone's age again.
