I've played CF for about 3 or 4 years off and on. Now I don't really have time to play the mad hours I used to. Is it still worth it? (More in depth text inside)

I play CF mostly for the roleplaying, but honestly if your not a decent fighter the game can get kind of shitty. It's hard to be a decent fighter playing 3 hours a week.

Here are some of the problems I see with playing only a few hours a week:

1) If you want to have fun during the little bit of time you play you can't spend time spamming spells and such. Then your spells are less effective against anyone you may come across. If it takes me 20 hours to master some ability, then thats one month of my real time doing nothing but spamming... and thats no fun.

2) Can you get in to a cabal playing just this little bit of time?

3) God's attention? Is it possible?

4) Gathering good gear for your char takes time... time I really don't have.

I'm sure I could think of other reasons... but I haven't got the time to list, and I'm sure you all get the idea. I'm not trying to bitch by any means, I just wonder if anyone can offer me some advice on playing for less time than most.

- Re: Suggestion... I prefer Fire Giants, Parry is hard to perfect and neither are the spells, not much time at all, someone in the know (nt) *sniff* Sladin *sniff* 13:47:49 8/20/2000 (1)
  - Hm, didn't quite understand your reply, but Fire Giants are by far the toughest APs at Hero. He has 3 hours a week to play, my Drow AP suggestion stands. :-) (n/t) Zepachu 14:51:24 8/20/2000 (0)
- Gotta watch out for those mithril wrathing weapons though, that would suck! (nt) *sniff* Sladin *sniff* 13:10:01 8/20/2000 (1)
  - Sure does suck, yep. :-D (n/t) Zepachu 13:12:30 8/20/2000 (0)
