What keeps people from playing Siege?

Yah... this is more of a post asking those that gave siege a try... why they wont play there.

The bottom line is, if dying bothers you, you're not ready for Siege.

Sorry, that won't cut it. It's too generic and incorrect.

You have the same chance to die in Tram on production shards and an even greater chance of dieing in Fel on production shards.

I'm not an advocate for Siege, but I've played on several different shards and the dieing is the same.

one char per account only.

All you guys don't get it!!! Thats the point of seige is to make it harder on you! Thats what makes it fun! There is always that little fear of pks in the back of your mind. And if you could gain quickly, everyone would be a hauss overnight. It makes it more fun because it is challenging. You sit in your pansy trammel, with no fear, gaining gold......for what?? You go out hunting with your insurance........pffff........ Don't be scared! Venture out to seige, you'll find that you're not the only one thats skills are low, or the only one getting pked, infact, its most of the people there. Everyone is very helpful because it is a harder shard. So, come on, get off your insured butts and come play...... see you there.

Seems Stratics isn't the only place where Siege players like to claim their leetness compared to us "pansy" folk who play regular shards.

I have a char on siege, but rarely play her. I get tired of the slow skill gains. Dying or getting PKed isn't a big deal to me... just rez, dust yourself off, and get back into the game. Getting beat down by a headless or a mongbat after playing for a few weeks is discouraging tho.

LOL, yeah, I will admit, having to run and bandage against an ettin is really humbling.

I don't play on Siege because I started playing right after AOS came out so that's all I know, I would be lost over there. And I'm a total trammie, so getting my butt kicked constantly doesn't appeal to me.

I don't play on Siege because I play on another shard. I have real life friends on the Atlantic. I can't complete one of my six template on the atlantic, so why I more to another shard and try to create and complete that template.
