Why pay full price for this game? I mean really.

[Captain Del]

Trust me, I have heard this before.

I have accounts on both LOTRO and POTBS, my Rings character in the 30s and my Pirate at 23. Both of them are pretty good games, though I haven't played LOTRO in a while (I'm taking a stronger liking to the Burning Sea nowadays.) It's a good thing to get involved in whenever I'm having a slow day or the game is down - but I don't see myself playing them.

Why? Because it just doesn't appeal to me as POTCO does.

Call me irrational or unthoughtful, but we all have our preferences. Whether it's the community, the difficultly, or just plain how the game is run, I don't know. And although the main reason I'm still here in because of my guild, it's not the only reason - I just prefer this game.

And in the end, we, as gamers, all have to respect what we all prefer.
