Old post!

Clearly not everyone shares the same opinion as you. If you spent as much time roleplaying as you did complaining IC/OOC you'd prolly be 7th sphere by now.

Thanks
Thanks for starting this discussion. I see that I'm not alone in some of my reasons for not playing:

I don't want to just sit there and wait for who knows how long just to never see anyone. It's a waste of time. For my character especially, because of the way I roleplay him (and yes, I get it, it's my choice) there is no mechanic in place for him to advance because he doesn't hunt.

I accidentally hit the "Submit" button before I was finished. I'll continue in another post.

Lacie, I know this was for Shae, but I appreciate you posting it.

The storyline may be a bit lacking still, but they're working on that, and what the players are doing have more to do with building and less to do with politics, as of late.... and now you're all caught up! :D

I truly get the left-behind, out of the loop feeling, but there's not that much to catch up on.

Just trying to reassure and help you feel that you would fit in. I truly LOVE interacting with that lil shit, Shae!

Continuing some reasons that I have in common with others for not playing:
TWKakaTaylor wrote: Fri Sep 28, 2018 8:28 am It is the memories and Nostalgia that keeps me around though. Sometime I just hope to run into old friends that find there way back. The greatest part of Underlight was the relationships and friends you ended up building by just playing the game. I often wonder how some of the people I became friends with back than are doing now.

Then I end up off grid for a few months due to IRL commitments and by the time I return it's time to start over and hope I can pick up any pieces progress. Usually the pieces are just that and the process repeats. After a certain point the returns come down to just social interactions in a bare bones player base game.
I'm going to start a new thread to discuss this from a different angle: asking people what might possibly bring them into the game.

Hello jumhedbedder! Hopefully you have decided to return to Underlight. Many of the reasons posted in this thread are no longer rellevant. Since even before the launch of steam, we have had an influx of returning players as well as a lot of new players. Prime time may always be prime time, but now there are many around all hours of the day and night.

As for your concern of the SoT players. There here, they may just choose to play their Lyra character more.

You are more than welcome to join us in discord and chat with old friends.
