I've been absent for around a year now, and I decided to take a look at this game again. I'm pretty appalled by the state of it. The idea to remove the General chat may save the mods some effort telling off the childish arguments and irritating spammers, but more has been lost than gained. To make this kind of change to an already dying game is not the way forward. It's as if the team are trying to beat it in it's own grave.
Anyway, it's likely I'll be inactive on the forums from now on, but I might pop on in-game for the occasional role-play and to meet up with friends now and again. Both my sister, Zaroque, and I, are doing the exact same thing. It's a kind of joint agreement.
So, yep. Reasonably upsetting to announce this with all the memories I've got stored of this forum and game, especially since Zaroque and I were among the first people to even post here. All good things must come to an end, I suppose.
