I know this game is meant to be played only few minutes each day with one character.... making it the perfect game to get away from rl stress few minutes daily, without too much obligations.. Yet I always want more DC, , and my rl time schedule allow me to invest a bit more than only few minutes of dc daily!!! So I have many characters, I enjoy trading with other players, chiling on this forum, or on the TC to meet the dcers!!! With enough charies (and motivation) a player could quest all day long! but only questing tends to get boring to me, so I am asking u all, , what do you like in dc? how do you spend your dc time? as here, , as soon its reset, , I log in my main to go get his mails, grants petitions, then I unload his backpack and get ready to quest him in azteca. after Iam done with my main, if I still want more questing, I try a chary in the forest (to gather DA). when I dont want to quest that much, or not enough time for it, I will visit this forum, to see if I got pms, or requests to answers, , if nothing: I'll spam a bit. then, I want to quest a bit more, so I alternate one chary in azteca, one in the forest (unless i am in a week bored of azteca, and more interested in another area). If someone else is forum active, and spaming, between each quested chary I will drop on the forum to play with him/her. sometimes, I will find motivation to es some items for our armory, I do this when I am tired of questing. Or I will drop on tc to see whos online, and may be made a trade or 2, when I have xtra time... I also visit the Town Square or other clan forums, when I have xtra time, to strenghten friendships, and clans networks. And YOU all!! What keep you dc busy??? What is a DC day for you? This is a first discussion I'd like to have with all players, , , maybe it will give ideas - motivations to older players to stay around. . or help newer players to quickly realize how much can be done with this small game! I HOPE I'LL STILL BE AROUND IN 10 YEARS, AS MANY OTHERS PLAYERS OF TODAY TOO! DC AND W&W FOREVER

Well now, comin' from Gryffindor Clan, I tend ta access the Clan Halls more often the DC itself. I only 'ave access ta DC on the weekends. I go in ta look fer Dragons ta kill, and nectarines to replenish, as well as new recruits to welcome in. I tend ta keep the Rp's alive stayin' in character as often as possible in both my Clan hall and other Clans that I visit as part of our Alliances.

I am probably not the one to talk about what keeps me around DC, since I've been missing the last 4 years. But I will share with you what made me come back to DC after all these years: When ui started playing DC, the place was amazing. There were lots of clans, lots of people and lots of fun everywhere. And the game itself was amazing because it was so close to pen&paper RPGs. I am an RPG freak, so the graphics never interest me in any way. It's the feeling of being in a world mostly created by your mind that attracted me to DC. What made me come back after all these years? The people and the memories The game in itself doesn't offer much, except clicking a few minutes and hoping something good drops. But the people and the forums ... oh men! that is a whole different world! It was enough to talk to Running Eagle and Dathron and the DC virus came back and took hold of me again So now a normal DC day for me it's like this: Wake up, make some coffee, start the comp and while drinking coffee and smoking some cigs quest my chars: my main in Azteca, my alt in hie Brasil and 3 days ago i started another alt for the sole purpose of trying to get CSB sets. this whole thing lasts 45-60 mins tops. the fun part begins afterwards when i get to work I am a financial programmer so i write code most of the day. So i allow myself some small breaks every 5 mins or so. So i'm practically around the forums all day long This is where the fun is actually. I enjoy spamming the forums, taking part in different conversations, congratulating people for their finds, helping the clan here and there.... All these small things add the salt&pepper to DC and without them DC would die in the blink of an eye. So what keeps me motivated to play DC is you guys, not DC Cheers!

I log in, check the mail, the gways keep me busy most of the time. I then make some trades and finish deals, write notes... Then lately i have just been trying to gain favor on the list, but its peaked off at 30.. I mainly quest azteca, with the random hie brasil questing. Used to quest around 5 chars in the forest and 4 in the mountains but im chilling out on CSB atm.. I love the TP and new sales, love seeing rare silvers for sale too

personally me, i play DC during my lunch and breaks at work b/c it doesn't work on my home computer. i sneak peeks at the tp and clan forums when i can. i'm building up my mains wits right now. i also try to play thru all my chars and rank up the young ones and build up the older alts. right now i am trying to collect at least one of all the silvers and crystals. i only need a few more and its fun b/c i get to quest in different areas all the time. thats what i usually do. after about a month or so of questing in certain areas i switch to another one. Oh and of course i try to participate in every questing contest there is.

Sweet! Welcome back! I'm another returner to DC. This game keeps bringing people back! Let us know if you need any gear or supplies. I see you've already got a sig, so let me know if you need any gear enchanted for you.

I spent 150 quests yesterday trying to earn Wits in Azteca by running from Jags. What did I get after all my hard work? Spirit!
Bah, Humbug!

these days, , I quest my main in azteca, to gain wits unid aminis and sacs! I have 6-8 others charies able to quest anywhere, so I usually send em by azteca, to hunt for amini clubs and CJFs.
I have another 3-4 charies able to quest anywhere up to shangalla... I rarely use em in shangala these days, , not interested in that area nowadays, , they are hunting spiked helms...
over the years Ive created, mingle, game many more charies to get storage spaces, and clan power.... Now I can use alot of em to quest for csb materials (may be 30 more charies)... yet I quickly get bored of csb hunting...
thats when I want to quest, , WW clan also keep me quite busy, , , I always try to find new ways to share with clan members, thinking of new games, new ways to distribute wealth, making sure all others members do enjoy theyr WW experience... Beside questing, , one can spend hours only by browsing this clan and others dc communities.... answering peoples pms, geting in touch with old friends, trying to convince some to try dc again, making sure our team keep the dc passion...
Chating on the traders chat is also fun! Specially when many people are active, and one of us decides to hold a givaway! I still enjoy to visit the town square but this place is empty too often these days! I wish to see some wwers active more often over there to practice theyr rp skills.
DC is the main game I play, since I can find in it so many things to do, and its very self rewarding to be part of such a friendly community.
the Main thing I think we could improve , would be more roleplaying.... DC allow us to shape this world and use our imagination... I wish I could improve my rp skills (and overall english skills) to practice more that important aspect of dc fun,,, yet I'd need help from all the rpers around to motivate me to try it....

I got to say for me its the W&W forums shoot i havent even quested yet, i should go do that right now....that and killing dragons i still havent killed one yet thats why im building up my stats. I want to earn the highest rank too thats why i mingle alot half my quest to be exact, dang queen dont like me though.
I want to find out whats on the other side of the dark Vortex evil fred doesnt let me through yet. Lets see what else? The friendship, i have met great people in here we all share a comon thing wich is rpg I like that the most. Meeting people who like to play rpg wich is great by itself but it goes beyond that we get together, we help each other, trade with each other, scam each other..lol, we mess around, spam each other, we get to know each other a little or alot sometimes, I dont know DC is just adicting.
