At the moment, even though I'm almost
always the only one in Habitat while I
am testing, I enjoy searching to see if
new areas have been put up. Since there
are no games, or particular tests, going
at the moment, there is not much else to
do. That, however, is fun enough for me.
(I just recently found the Hermitage and
I don't know HOW long that was there!)

I enjoy walking around, seeing my
friends...seeing what's new...reading
the newspaper..
and occasionally taking a "dig" to see
if anything good has shown up
under the sidewalks ;D

First off I think it can be a very good
service to provide our users. I see a
large potential in the game. I'm sure
that many testers, as well as myself,
have lessened our time in Habitat mainly
because of the fact that we spent so
many hours in there already. The first
two weeks I had access to Habitat I
spent 2-4 hours per night in there.
Since then my time spent in there has
steadily decreased. Two things will help
to increase the present testers testing
times, having more people in there (when
the Beta testers have access) and when
new things/areas become available. Just
meeting the new people will be a major
plus. As it is most of the time when I
get on there are only one or two other
people in there IF there is anyone at
all in there.

You'd have to know me to appreciate
my reply.
Let's call it dedication. While I do
enjoy Habitat, even if I didn't, I've
accepted the responsibility of being
a tester, and am not the sort of person
to take responsibility lightly.
Often times I'm there alone, and even
if I'm not, the old "AvaHermit" acts
as if he WERE alone - searching the
streets and trash cans in search of
some valuable, hockable antique or a
used Kleenex.
I also keep track of how far (screen
changes) I can travel in an hour in
both "ghost state" and "regular". In
short, I entertain myself while
providing a service I agreed to.

I have to go in there every day to have
enough tokens to pay my half of the
rent.
Seriously, I like it. I think with more
people in there, there will be enough
going on to hold someone's interest.
(But then you have to take into account
the fact that I haven't grown up yet.)
It really is kind of an extended PC,
with expanded opportunities for
interaction. It should interest
dedicated games players. Even
nest-builders should like it. 8)
You can play at being an entrepreneur,
or go into politics - whatever kind of
role-playing you want.

I am an active part of Q-Link and spend
a great deal of time here. I'm quite
sure that Habitat, when released, will
itself be an active part of the system
and I feel honored that I've been asked
to test it.
Personally, I'm not really INTO games
a lot, which explains some of my
previous responses. But I do enjoy it
while I am there and will continue to
test as long as I'm here.
(and as long as you'd have me testing :)

I continue playing for several reasons:
.
* I like to be up-to-date on any changes
that have occured in the environment.
.
* I like to keep my token balance up. ;)
.
* Because we were requested to play and
test a lot, and I want to help make sure
that it all works great when it goes
public.

The possibilites of HABITAT are
enormous, and like the idea of being a
part of it as it gets started.
Ideas need to be worked out. And
the more people doing things to those
ideas that shouldn't be done, prove how
workable the idea is.

Part duty, partly because if I didn't
cooperate here, I might not get to play
with the new toys next time, partly
to try to solve puzzles that I haven't
figured out yet, like the heads in
the woods. Also, I'm looking for
problems because if we don't catch
them now, the members will tear us
apart.
:
I enjoy Habitat, but a good deal of
the pleasure came from interaction, and
shared exploration and adventures. I
seem to be the only one there far too
often, and thus I haven't been there
as much as I otherwise might have...
All I can do is solo things, and I'm
not naturally a hermit.
