L.o.A
I’ve known for awhile that it was coming, and here it is. I’m taking a break. Dark Isles is a wonderful place, but right now it’s not the place for me. There’s always some issue, be it IC or OOC, between characters or players, or the choices that characters make. There’s issues with code and creation and crafts and none of them, in and of themselves, are a problem. Not really. We’ve worked around them in marvelous ways for the last few weeks.
But I’m beat and at the point of feeling broken. After dealing with crash after crash and all the issues with getting the MUD restored, items returned, things reset, just to have them wiped again. 4000 rooms to proof read and bug fix and restore and now they’re all back again. Players who can’t get along. Complaint after complaint sent to me via email or IM…
I’m sorry you made the choices you did for your characters. I’m sorry you don’t approve of the people who’ve worked hard to become top dogs in the game. I’m sorry the laws don’t suit your particular fancy for what the game should be. I’m sorry that the crashes caused downtime and loss of play. I’m sorry for a lot of things, but none of them are things that I can do a thing about. When you bring them to me, I try. I try to find ways to work around things for you. I try to find you other avenues, things you might not have considered as viable RP. I try to be creative and soothe ruffled feathers and keep things running smoothly, but frankly, I can’t any more. I spent hours trying to fix issues that I should have been devoting to planning my daughter’s party, and now things are chaos because I didn’t get them done earlier, when I should have.
My own fault? Of course it is. But it’s added more stress to my RL than I need. I can’t even enjoy RP any more, and for those of you who know me well, you know that RP has been one of my sole hobbies for the past few years.
I’m sure in a week or so I’ll be feeling much more like myself. I just need a vacation.
Sorry.
