Fun in the Sun

[sinjun]

Hey, it's a sunny day and life moves on apace.

On RS, I dusted Vir off, and he got caught in a riot and held hostage. ;) Oops?

Ah well, it was fun. Also, Sovyan has been born. *smiles sweetly*

In not so happy news, I've decided to give up my Two Moons Alts. For several reasons. First, though I have tried recently, I can't get back into rp on that particular MUSH. The elves have lost their appeal, more or elss. Second, I don't have the time to play on quite so many MU*'s, especially with the staff responsibilities on RS. Third, I'll have even less time when I get back into classes in September. Fourth, I might as well give up the magic users, so someone else can get the magics and enjoy them.

It's kind of sad, but really I'm just sentimentally lingering there. It's time to let go.

Yep. I hadn't rp'ed on TM in months. When I finally went back to look, poor Twi has been idlenuked. Was sad but, as you mentioned, TM just doesn't have the high appeal it used to. Elfquest in general, I think, just isn't what it used to be.

I think the "Golden Age" of EQ was before the whole Shards story arc. After that, the world got too complicated. Humans became far more of a focus than they had been before and the essential qualities of the elves seemed muddied somehow.

But, out of courtesy to those that do still play on TM and are trying to keep it alive, I'll refrain from commenting on the loss of that particular game's general appeal. I do think it's a very specific thing. I still have fond memories of it, however, and I'm sorry about how I left... though I'm not sorry that I left. It was passed time for me to go when I finally did.

Even so, giving up alts you've invested a lot of productive time and energy in is always a sad thing — no matter the game, theme, or genre.

Oh, there are still people playing there and having fun. More power to them.

It's just time for me to move on.
