In Reply to: 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) posted by Sir Played Alot on August 20, 2000 at 10:37:02:
Only cabals i've found that will get on you if you don't play alot are Battle and Masters (and only in some cases). I suggest playing one of the following, non practice heavy classes: Necromancer, Conjurer, Thief, Healer, Druid, to a lesser extent... Anti-Paladins. Not practicing a lot wont hurt you too much in these classes. Good gear doesn't really take time... but if you're worried about stuff like that, play a class where their worth as a fighter is the least attached to gear (necro, healer, etc...). As for god interaction, I wouldn't roll up the char counting on it... it's going to be hard to catch whoever you want or get anything regular going with short hours. I know most of what i've said all has exceptions and so on, but these are just generalities. > 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.
