I got called in to work but they are not ready for me to work yet, so instead of reading more food threads I figured I would make another poll.

I got pretty close to this in the last invasion as BT is "my island" and I'm pretty sure I would've continued playing.

Super-relieved that it didn't actually sink though. :P

because of the loss of titles or because you love your island?

Same as Lorgan I very much consider Beluaterra, or actually The New World, to be my favourite continent. I would not quit the game if it got blown up, I would just start a very lengthy and profound whining campaign on the forum and on IRC!

I play on as many different islands as possible, and never in the same realm. So if the situation of the one character is starting to taste a bit like soggy cereal, then at least I have the other characters to keep me interested.

It would be a sad day if BT or the Colonies went away, but I suppose there's still the FEI and Dwilight; though, Dwilight disinterests me due to SA.  The few times I ventured onto Atmara and EC I realized it was very fast and easy to be nearly completely overlooked as a new character.

It would depend on how and when.

I can understand why how would matter but why when?

Why do you dislike Dwilight just because of SA?

I have two main continents. If one goes down and the other's still keeping me entertained, then I'd stay, but if one goes down and things suck on the other, then maybe I wouldn't.

This is correct.

You could sink every continent and raise up new ones, and I would still play.
