The game is what you make of it, like everything else in life. If you do your best to make it the best, you'll have some fun. The server is dead, but there are still a few things im doing to make the game fun. I've introduced an offspring to one of my main characters, its changed the pace of that character's story and will continue to do so. I've invested in doing some SRPs having been around for a while now, and having characters with years of lore development both on the forums and ingame. Being around for a while still gives you opportunities, those opportunities are just different.
Branch out, do something different. Making custom weapons was unheard of apparently until I did it with the VENOM.
