Hey. So yeah, this will be somewhat difficult to write, as I in no way actually
want to quit planeshift. Sadly, I don't have much of a choice. It seems I cannot get much of a sentence in any longer without crashing spontaneously, no matter what magical technological trick I try to fix the client. I had hoped to at least finish up some role plays beforehand, but the issue of trying to get the client to even load, which itself takes about half an hour on bad days, and then having it crash instantly, is becoming increasingly aggravating.
So, no. I don't want to quit. But I feel that I don't really have much of a choice anymore. I used to be able to run multiple clients, up to three, at the same time without any hassle at all. Now I can not even run one for any length of time. And yes, I have tried multiple reparations. A special thank you to Sasigher and Rigwyn and all those others that have tried to help me so many times on IRC to get the dang thing running. I'm sure talking a tech-idiot like myself through such things was incredibly annoying, but your effort was most certainly appreciated.
I've met a lot of really neato frito folks on this game. It's a unique community, and I think that's it's main draw, really. A powerful pull. You make friends both Icly and Oocly, and that's something that's pretty rare when you're just playing some MMO. I learned a lot from a lot of people, (considering I was horribad at role play when I joined, having never ever done it before,) and learned even more about writing. It was a unique tool, really, and I hope that when I try to write a book it'll help me out, especially in the way of character development. Thanks to the Adani Order for all of their help as well, and inviting this nooblet into their guild. I'ma miss all the zainy personalities in there quite a bit, though they all know where to find me if they still want to chatter.
I am sorry I didn't get to finish the role plays that were running. Lots of interesting stuff was occurring. Maybe if sometime in the future PS gets the client more stable I'll try again, but in the meantime I simply can't justify the hours it takes staring at the black screen of death to get the game to load. I may try to start some forum role plays in the future if anyone might be interested in it, and I'm perfectly willing to role play on the IRC chat for those who are up for it. If folks would like to seek out a continuation of the Butcher RP via that method, just send me a PM.
And...that's about it, folks. I love ya, have a good one, and have fun gaming. Peace out.
Sincerely,
Barsidious, Rhianon, Rheyai, Evirea, Ziljhi, Cezote, and a bunch of other personalities that you don't get to know just in case the player gets the gusto to try fixing the client again.
Edit: Found another computer to run it on for the week I'm on break, so I'll try to finish some role plays, and possibly get it to run on mine. I make no promises, though. I will at least finish the Butcher (barsidious) part of the RP so it's not a big ugly IC scar with no end.
