Greetings all,
I've just been back active for almost a week now, since then I settled in Gates of Ages while occasionally taking a walk around No Mans Land and stopped at Paper Cabin for a while. I waited there, in case there were new players coming, but sadly, none of them came.
I missed greeting new players, answering their questions, encouraging them. If I can add it, I miss the moment when I become a staff at Sparring Ground, helping all the new players. I understand that over time things will change, some come and go, but it seems like there are so many who leave but hardly anyone comes. Can anyone explain why? I'm sure there must be a way to solve this problem. How can i help? What can i do? Watching this and doing nothing, as if I was helping to kill this realm slowly.
One thing about those who decided to leave, based on my experience, I no longer have much time and ability to sit for long in front of the monitor and play, which is why I stopped long enough from MD. Now I play through my cellphone / gadget, that's why now I can always be online and active. I think that's one of the many problems that other veterans feel. They are not bored, they just do not have time as before.
I love this game, no matter how long and far I go, I always miss this place, miss all my old friends, I keep coming back.
I'm writing this because I'm sad, that's all.
