As much as I love people ( and I really do love people) - I love them not to be in my game or changing anything. I play games to relax and amuse myself - and do not want anyone doing anything in my game EVER. When I leave my game for the night i expect to see it just the way I left it - not see things messed with, added to or in anyway changed. I don't want people talking to me when I am gaming. I play the game to escape the real world and when I want to talk to people I go to forums to talk to them -
The minute they take any game and turn it into multiplayer - I never buy that game. Like I used to play Warcraft. I played all the early warcraft games for years and then they turned it into WOW. I never bought a WOW game - never will. Some of my family plays it - my own 3 sons and hubby - but not me. If I want to play Warcraft I play the old single player games I used to play - not any Multiplayer no matter who else I know is playing.
I tested all 4 versions of Sims online - the first one for Will Wright and could not even stand to stay in the testing of the first one for the two weeks they wanted us to test it - It was the only game I signed to test I quit the first day. I even tried each new so called improved version over the 8 years they tried to force feed us a Sims online down to the last version EA Land - they were horrible games. EA Land died 6 weeks after it started as everyone knows Sims games does not belong online. They need to stop trying to forcefeed God games as multi-player as we simmers by and large love playing by ourselves and doing all the creativity our selves. We don't want to share our game while we play. It is a personal thing. It's not a battle or any of the things that would even remotely welcome in other players. It's like having your home invaded by strangers and them coming in and changing up everything you did in your home - and invading your personal space.
IT'S JUST A BIG NO! MY Sims is MY space - I will never - ever share it!
