Hello again.

Just wanted to give a brief explanation behind my sudden disappearance a few years(?) ago. It's really not my style to leave just like that but under the circumstances I felt like I had to so ehh.

Anyway. It was a difficult period in my life and I felt like I'm spending too much time on the game, but at the same time couldn't bring myself to leave in a meaningful way. Something always happened that dragged me back in. Either some event or becoming the leader of GotR. I realized I couldn't be one of those leaders who just holds the title and chills out, it needs to be done properly buuut at the same time I wanted to reduce my activities. Eventually everything in the realm felt like being forced to fit into a mold that fits less and less (even though all of my "commitments" were self-imposed). So eventually I just snapped and left all MD related communication channels, even blocked most people on discord save for a selected few to prevent getting dragged back in. Felt easier than having difficult conversations, though I realize it's a rather stupid way to handle things.

Anyway. Just wanted to get that out of the way. Easier than explaining to people one by one.

Some other things:

Sunfire took over GotR, WAS IT A COUP????
No, it's for the best. I didn't have the mental fortitude to run it properly, nor do I have it now. Things probably worked out how they were always meant to lol.

Will you return now?
Hard to say. Some of the new updates are tempting, and I think I'm about to lose my job so I'll definitely have more time on my hands... But at the very least I'll check in eventually.

One more thing.
Fang says he can't figure out his forum login thing... Any chance someone could help with that? lol... Or what's the best way to go about this?

I saw you walking about IG and I wanted to say hello! and see how you're doing. I hope to see you soon!

Hi nepnep.

I am happy to hear from you.

Life always takes precedence before any online stuff.

I hope that you have managed to get some stuff of your chest with this post. Know that many people before you left MD without a word, me included, and others will after us, so it is not rare, and you do not owe anyone any explanation, although it is nice to understand your reasoning.

I have seen quite a few people become invested in great things (groups, organisations, projects..), and then become burdened by them when they felt they had duties to it. It is alright to take a step back, otherwise it may twist into something ugly it was never supposed to be.

I wish you well in both worlds.

Maybe we can talk for a bit, should we meet. Just to chill.

Don't let the world snap you.
