"quote": I think it boils down to the types of people who enjoy this game. CF has three target audiences:

1) High challenge/puzzle oriented exploration types
2) Competitive Player Killers
3) Roleplayers

Well, I see myself fitting all three of these categories. (Not saying that I'm good at any of it, perhaps medioker on all of them) And that might be where my problem is. Add to it that I'm a very careing person, (I work as a nurse)...

And talking about a normal life, I'm married, work full time, got four horses, dog, cats and a healthy friends and family life. I'm guessing I'm spending between 15-45 hours/week on MUD.
