I was just having a chat with Jibby and we were wondering, what is it about soma that brings us back time after time?
What brings you back ?

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Soma is almost like a comfort blanket, a safe place where no matter whats going on life you can come here and just hit shit, lvl, upgrade, craft, talk shit with folk. It reminds me of a simple time, I started playing when I was 9 on esoma, through to pirate servers in my teens, and coming back here and there in my 20s.

I guess Im saying I dont know exactly, but Soma was a part of my child hood, my hiding place when I was a teenager, and my comfort zone as an adult.

I'm exactly the same as you Jibby, except I'm an awful lot older (77). I started on esoma too, and the 'pirates', and here I am again, coming and going, then coming back.

PVP and my guildy’s, I don’t really care for any other aspect of the game, I just put up with it for the parts I do enjoy.

Upgrading is fun also I suppose, although it’s also the complete opposite sometimes, but sunshine wouldn’t feel so good if it wasn’t for rain.

The simplicity of the game. You know what your next goal is & what your end goal is
And one of the few mmorpgs that you can solo the whole game

Soma's as an escape, a nostalgic one at that; from esoma during my early teens, to several incarnations of servers that never felt right, to this, home :)

the communal feel is always a plus, a great draw. and the never ending goals.

Sweet juicy momo!

A more accurate question would be, what pushes you away from Soma everytime?

Lack of reward for amount of time I invest, as a crafter the majority of things I wish to craft require stupid amounts of bones, 2-3 hours at boars/trolls for a dozen or so bones ain’t cutting it for me. The farm isn’t big enough for more than 2 at each of the 2 spawns in there, farming lower level mobs for bones/claws just destroys the will to carry on.

Rant over.
