The Community is no more
« on: February 27, 2007, 02:16:46 am »
Oh Hydlaa my life.....Ojaveda my mistress.....this world has become corrupted, it has forced me to re-enter the portals and find a new home to settle. Many long seasons i dwelt in Yliakum, many faces i had and many friends i saw step through the same portal that i am heading towards. I have been distressed by the politics, the community and those who prefer to offer torment, not guidance. My heart has been torn in many directions and have now lost my love for the world.

There are those who once called me friend, though kept many secrets from me, those who i guided towards good, in turn, sent evil misfortune my way. I feel a corruption inside, bred within by a force that only the land itself could wield. My will has broken in torment, the pressure built to levels i can know longer withstand.

My name is Slae, though this has no revelance to you, i am a chameleon, shapeshifter or amorphic as would technically describe my kind. I have been known as Sioben, Casequl, Xorlak, Hoodaya, Sendar, Ghotrek, Iroc, Bengali and others that i have not the memory for. I have also been known as a thief, poet, warrior, knowledge keeper, ruthless killer, merchant and most recently, stalker. This last was an insult to me, for i hold strong to my honour and have little give in my will.

The heart is a strange beast and sometimes carries our souls on mysterious paths.....Farewell Yliakum

This is the most poetic leaving thread I've ever seen.

Eldoth nods, but remains silent, thinking that this needed to be said twice.

The community is always dying. Just as it is always reborn. Some player is just finding PS now, and will make it a world of his own after making many mistakes, and learning how to play. He will make a great many friends with folks who are here already, or just joining as new as he. They will teach each other, and learn together. Slowly, those friends will stop playing as they become bored, tired, or irrititated at all the new folks coming in who do not know how to play right. In a year, or maybe two, that same player who just read this thread will write one of his own, meaning almost the same thing, and he will be gone. But, at the same time, a new face enters the game, and perhaps reads the thread he just wrote. She shrugs, and goes to see if it is true...and finds out is is not. Not for her anyways. Not yet.

The Community is not dying. It just -is-.

Under the Moon is right. 'The Community' means different things to different people.

Very well said Under the moon

Under the Moon is right.  The community is not dying and not too much has changed.
