So, I've decided that the time has come for me to take my leave of FeralHeart. It simply doesn't hold much interest for me anymore; modding takes up time that I'd rather spend on other artistic endeavours, the types of RP I prefer (ie. involving more humanoids/plot and less sitting around/hunting) just don't exist here, and those were the two main reasons I was involved in the game and community. Also, though I know there are still a lot of wonderful individuals around here and I'm very glad to have met you all, I've watched the FH community as a nebulous collective change dramatically and, honestly, deteriorate since I joined several years ago. Too much drama between mods and the people who complain about them/blame them for everything, too much complaining about one species 'clique' or another. Too much overall finger-pointing. Maybe it got too big, maybe the median age range is going down, maybe my age is just going up and my perspective is the only thing that's changed, I really don't know which, but I'm a bit sad that it happened, whatever it was. In any case, it's time for me to move on.
I don't know whether I'll show up again occasionally or not. I might do that, or I might just delete the game from my computer, or show up for official events since those are usually fun (my account and mods thread will stay up whatever happens, because I'm weirdly clingy about game accounts and people still seem to be downloading the mods). Should anyone want/need to contact me, I check my DA notes regularly.
Nice knowing you all. I'll miss quite a few of you and bear no ill will toward anyone.
And yes, I'm ashamed of myself for actually using a song lyric as my subject line.
