Same as last response.  My time has been
spent with school work, but I expect to
have more free time now, and if I had a
6.4 disk, I would be in to test.

As I have said..the response time, the
pace of activities, including the pace
and slowness of conversation, the
regularity and length of disk loads...
These are the main factors that have
caused me to lose interest in HAB, and
therefore decrease my playing time,
freeing up my time to concentrate in
long, elabortae run-on sentences...  :D

The only changes you could make
to make ME personally play HABITAT
is to make more than 24 hours in a day.

Work kept my very busy...and tired, so
that I wanted to spend free time getting
other things done, rather than testing.
Project is almost over, and I would like
to go back to testing :>

I've played since then, but quite
frankly, it got  boring in there...
I like it, but we ran out of fun
things to do, and thats why folks
play games, fun.

Have NOT tested Habitatas I have had
THREE 1670 modems go out and I did
NOT want this local problem to affect
your test results.
The problem is solved and I'm ready to
test in earnest. :)

I have not played Habitat since November
1st because frankly it does not seem
exciting to me.  For me, HABITAT is
aimless...  By that, I like to work to-
wards some goal and there seem to be
no goals in HABITAT, except to just
wander around and spend what little
tokens you have.   I've asked ORACLE for
ideas and things, but no response.
I've enjoyed very much seeing some of
the changes in my friends...the magic,
etc. but I couldn't try them out because
I could never figure out how any of thes
things worked.   I have a complete color
map of the Back 40 and the Forests...
done in little illustrated squares that
I worked hard on, but when I got done,
there was nothing to them.  I knew how
to move from place to place, but WHY?
There was a fairy/mushroom circle in the
forest...beautiful, but I could not
use it or figure out how.
.
And when I was in HABITAT, there seemed
to be no way to locate anyone or know
where everyone was, like in P.C....
I most often roved alone....so the
world seemed lonely.

I got bored after seeing almost
all of habitat. Also it was lonely
just wandering around. and only rarely
meeting people for a short time!

I havent signed on to Habitat because
of the general slowness involved in
moving around, and also because I have
run out of things to do once I do get
in.

 I was too busy gettin started as
SYSOP to meet the minimum of 5 hours per
week testing time. I enjoyed Habitat but
with limitations on the time I could
spend online I just could not spend that
much time in it.

  I was in once ot twice after 11/1
but not for very long.  I'd usually
check the Test Project Board and if
something was up, I'd pop in, otherwise
I'd just go about my business elesewhere
.
  The primary factor in not visiting on
a more regular basis is simply
time.
