My relationship with this game is like my fandom of the NY Jets.

In my core, I love this game. It’s my favorite stress reliever and on the days where I have the time to really go out and do stuff I have a great time.

But man does the management team frustrate the hell out of me. Every year is supposed to be the year where “we make it”. New QB who disappoints (New features that are half baked upon implementation), New Coaching that has no consistent direction (New Ages that bring unwanted/unasked for changes that fundamentally detract from the game), Healthy team that gets brought down by injuries (Persistent bugs on top of new ones).

This is by far my favorite current game, but hot dang it could be so much better.

But my first moment of total immersion? My first classic purge along the north bank of the noob river, where exiles tried tearing down my simple stone structure and I had to fend them off with my son helping me out. It was so much fun taking on the waves of enemies who attacked us simply for the reason that we dared to exist in their realm. I’d give anything for that feeling again.
