I am leaving because…
I am leaving for a reason, but first I will tell you the reasons that do not make me leave.
I am not leaving because the community sucks. It in fact a very good community, and full of good people. You just have to stomp the trolls once in a while.
I am not leaving because the game sucks. Well… in its own ways, it does suck, but I have seen it getting better all the time. It is better than other places I have seen by far. What the game lacks in usable features for me, it makes up for with depth and the aforementioned community.
I am not leaving because the Devs suck. They are more than great people, and put up with a lot of crap from folks like me. They deserve medals and cookies. They work harder than you would think, and do listen a lot more than it seems.
I am not leaving because of Zanzi. He has become more amusing to me than anything, and gets a cookie for that as well.
I am not leaving because I get bored in the game, and it lacks roleplaying. There is RP everywhere I want to find it, and stories that go back years. You just have to find them.
I am not leaving because of all the new people coming into the game. They are not ruining it any more than the folks who joined back when I did, and folks claimed -we- were ruining things. All old players start as new players, and everyone is a blooming elite. They just don’t know it yet.
I am not leaving because the Settings and story are vague or lame. No, they are just unknown to me. Sure, parts of it do not make any sense, but I have seen some of those parts change in my time here. It will all come together someday.
I am not leaving because all my old friends have gone. Sure, most of the ones I started with are gone. But that is just the cycle of any web community. There are those who never seem to leave.
I am not leaving because I find no joy or fun in playing. Even when I am complaining about some feature, and how it could be better, I salute the work that has been done already, and keep all the stories and characters I have made going with what can be used in what I do. That is what I enjoy. The fighting and training have much to be desired, but the mind games are perfect.
I am not leaving for any reason you should be worried about. There is nothing wrong with the Moon.
I am leaving because I should have been to bed an hour or more ago, and have work in the morning.
See you tomorrow.
