Don't think many remember me (it has been over a decade since I played much), but hey, it's Orin again. Took a trip down memory lane the other day, more than a cursory glance, and took a look at the community and the roleplay and my cringy old writing, just got to thinking about giving it all another shot maybe.
It's a weird thing, looking back at, stuff that kind of influenced the person you became, or the aspects of yourself that you made a point to leave behind, I don't know. But all the same, it's nice to look back on too, and a part of me does feel like the game and the unique platform it is for roleplay are worth taking a stab at again as an adult (despite this awful, teenage me jokes of an avatar and signature, haha).
So I guess I'm just sort of curious how worthwhile it is these days, in all brutal honesty? Obviously with niche communities like this, optimism and encouraging words are important, but there's also nothing wrong with being honest for better or worse.
How dead is it in general, outside of events and that sort of thing? I've never been great with heavily scheduled, group oriented stuff (outside of general unscheduled faction activity), and while I like the gameplay, big scheduled brawls aren't really at the top of my list to come back for. I do like a bit of everything, but just coming up with some fun characters, having some casual roleplay and faction stuff to have some company and applet to play a character, and action here and there is good enough for me.
I've wound on long enough, but yeah, hello people.
