What made me leave Disco before was the lack of GMs doing GM things. Making the world more alive and responsive to players' actions, writing actual quests using the forum. I started RPing on forums and in RP groups that had a lot of GM influence and got very used to it.
Or maybe I simply failed to become the local diplomat and eventually burned out trying to think of other things to do.
Maybe both.
I do hope that things will get better but will they really? I'll stay and see myself.
Edit: oh, and I still can't get into combat at all
This is not a moba or a Dark Souls lookalike, you just can't have ships be as diverse and unique as characters and weapon movesets/magic there
