Alright...I think I'm gonna get a lot of heat for this, but I need to say something....
I joined FH a couple years ago, this is just a newer account. It was my first look into the "IT server" realm. Since then I have tried many different similar games. They're all wonderful; they each have their own unique features brought to the table; they each have communities with both good and bad people. The IT realm is a hopeful, bright, creative world and it's wonderful. It has brought me tons of inspiration in my own work and helped me to understand roleplaying more, before I got into art college of course.
I must say though...As much as we all love this game, as important as it is to some players, and the staff..everyone needs to stop and calm down. Everyone is antsy right now, waiting for it to come back..Well I'm sorry but Raz cannot just flick a finger and make it all better. Raz and the other staff are adults with their own friends, families, jobs, obligations, and lives. The game may be something they love, but it always comes second...and it should for the rest of us. I understand many of us want an escape from reality..I understand many players are young children....But what happened to your other PC games? Drawing, reading good ol' fashioned books? Going outside, getting dirty, riding bikes, playing hide and seek or tag or SOMETHING...So many of us are just sitting here waiting for the game and stressing the poor staff out when they're doing all they can with what is available to them.
Who knows...maybe I see this as much more minor because I'm in college and I have other obligations that affect my life more..I dunno. I still love this game of course and just started playing it again recently after having to be gone for over a year. I would hate to see the game die out, as would all of you....but we need to get priorities in order.
The more we fret, the more power the hackers get, the more attention they earn..which is all they wanted. They wanted attention, power, and trouble, which is why they tried to frame Cereal Soup and Moonrise.
It's good that a big event brings the community together, but if we relax, things will flow much more smoothly.
Look around the rest of the forums, go on OTHER forums..go on your art sites, your other IT games..go on Youtube, watch a movie or some tv...doodle, read a book, do some homework (Universe knows I have plenty of it), go outside and chill like back in the 90s and early 2000s before internet got as essential as it is now.
As much as you are all worried...everything is fine. Everything will BE fine. The only reason I myself am lurking and posting more is to try and answer questions for others and see where things are going, but I have things to do too...Let's all just chill, everyone. FH will come back eventually.
LOVE FOR EVERYONE -hugs all around-
