2. Visit the market to look for new gems, materials etc.
3. Ask around in the guild if anyone found new resources and if so, where they are.
4. Go forraging.
5. Quest a bit.
6. Return to node.
7. Prepare for dungeons or raids.
8. Go dungeondiving or raiding with guild mates.
9. Return with new materials.
10. Craft things.
If the game is not challenging, like ESO for example, the meaning behind exploring and discovering goes away, since everything is given to you on a silver plater.
That is why character progression is necessary, for the adventure to have a meaning.
The only measure to see this, is by daring new places that I was too weak to go before.
I need levels (stats) to have a meaning.
New abilities.
Hard earned gear.
I want to achieve all those things, fighting the environment and othet players ehose interests collide with mine.
In sooner or later teamplay is required
Luckily aoc has guild content
This is at the team level, guild level, and city/node level.
I am hoping for an experience like the original Sword Art Online anime series, where PvP is infrequent but happens on occasion and is always a potential threat. Without the whole permadeath (in real life!) side of things.
2. Abandon the plan because the world has changed in pleasantly surprising ways, making me want to pursue something new that will lead me on a trail of discovery and reward
