PlaneShift is the kind of game I can play and do my real-life job simultaneously.  I've never seen a game that is like this before.


isn't that because the game is related to your real-life job?

"What would you describe as "Addictive" about PlaneShift?"

Nothing really. But my stupid sense of responsibility keeps me checking in cause I feel I can't let my guildies down. Silly, but that's it. When I was in no guild, I didn't spend much time in the game. So it can't be addicitve. It's just another way to waste your spare time if you want to give your mind a break from rl. My 2 cents...

Edit: To make it clear - I don't think of guilds and the other players as addictive. I could live very well without it [heck I'm a pretty anti-social person, no clue what drove me into a guild], if it wasn't for the bad conscience I get if I don't show up every couple of days. Similar to skipping school or not going to work. It's silly and has nothing to do with addiction. Just a bloody stupid sense of responsibility misaimed at something that should be done just for fun.

Exactly. Guilds are addictive, the game itself isn't.
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I can be reasoned with. I'm probably right, though.

I'm addicted to the... I don't know... Actually, I don't even play. Well, not in a while. Sometimes I pop in and out like a zit.

As has been stated, it's the people (be it the community in general or guilds). PlaneShift seems to attract an interesting mix of players.
