I appreciate the response, but I don't think it's a great comparison.

I enjoy replaying some old classic video games from time to time, as I'm sure many of us do; or re-watching a television series I enjoyed, or a movie, going on an amusement park ride I've been on before, eating a favorite dish at a local restaurant, etc., etc. Part of life is some sort of repetitiveness, re-enjoying things we experienced in the past, etc., and I think everyone agrees that's perfectly normal.

On the other hand, outside of perhaps a psychological disorder book, and P99 [particularly R99], I don't know anyone who watches the same hours long movie multiple times a week every week for years, or who replays Super Mario World from start to finish 3x a week every week for 6+ years, goes on the same amusement park ride every single week multiple times, etc.

Wasn't really meant as an attack on people who do enjoy doing it, but I question whether people really actually enjoy it or of this is just there sense of purpose and/or community; with the game being something that enables the former.

I legit Play super mario world and legend of zelda oot every single year. The only thing that stops me from logging into red is the population. I could sit and play the same content years on end because i enjoyed it. I do not enjoy lack of population. Population = motivation to log in and pvp.
