What makes you go on?

What makes you move on developing custom stories and mods and so on?

You know that you won't get anything with it, nothing. So, it's an hard effort put into something for no apparent reason.

After thinking this trough I found a few possible reasons to do this, but each one only applies to a certain ammount of people. I would like you to tell me what makes you do these mods.

1- Ignorance- I'm not explaining this because if this applies to anyone it's better he doesn't know it applies to him/her.
2- Search for recognition- Maybe this is a good reason, but not in such community. Most members aren't even in the development area and won't even notice how good/bad your work is.
3- Try to prove something- Who knows?
4- Earn Experience.
5- Hobby.

So, we can fill ourselves up with these reasons unless yours is personal. I think this is important for personal reasons, but you can find this important for other motivations.

The reason why I develop for this game? Well, it's just an Hobby, that's also the reason why there are many pauses in my mod. I only work on it when I'm in the mood to. I know there are people who take this as a job, but what can I say?
