As the title suggests, i'm done as of this week. I'll explain why.
I'm starting to fit my life into a new schedule. As you know, as long as the server is up, I stay awake. I usually go past midnight or more so I can bring the game down. That said, starting next month, I'll be waking up around 6 AM. If i'm going to bed at midnight, that's only six hours of sleep.
It's not just that, but this whole THG project is no longer fun to me. When I first started hosting, this was a fun thing to do. I enjoyed talking to the community and getting to know everyone. This is no longer the case, and I can only name 15-20 regulars off the top of my head that I actually like.
Another reason is because my computer is becoming less and less reliable. It's slowed down, despite weekly spyware/virus checks, and removals of larger applications. It's just bogging down the overall performance. Though, i'm looking to buy a stick of RAM this summer.
I don't hate you guys, or this game. But I do hate those of you who are backseat moderators. And the moderation itself is a mess. When I started this server, I wanted it to be a fun place with freedom of speech, and the occasional serious adult topic. Having an entire manifesto of laws to uphold for just a handful of people that play this game is pretty wrong in my eyes. It was needed when we averaged 100+ players at a time, but it's not needed now.
So you're probably wondering what will become of your savefiles? Well, Kija will be hosting for a while. It's his game, and he knows exactly what to do with it. The savefiles will be given to him. The only savefiles that will be deleted are those that are Level 1 (so we can transfer them more easily)
Hosting is just something I can't do anymore. I'll still stop in from time to time, of course. And here's some messages for those of you I enjoyed playing/talking with:
Mahn : You've improved a lot. But keep going for it.
Stryfe : I still dont get you, at all.
Reap : I finally understand why you quit.
Kija : This program has performed an illegal operation and must close.
Hiro : Always fun to blame thing s on.
Sarm : He loves dragons
Kain : Always fun to talk to about the latest gamings news. Also, if I set the shutdown timer for 8 hours, you'd still leave in the first five minutes.
Lunaqua : Wanna get coffee sometime?
U. Dye : The funniest guy on the server. And you'd better keep it that way.
Milenko : Your savefiles were a pain to fix.
Thorn : It's always nice to have a fanboy
Tippy : I already asked Luna out for coffe. But we can arrange something, and the three of us can work something out.
Francheska : Nice to have a fangirl...Talked to her once. I think she commit suicide shortly after.
Kyou : Hi.
Anyone else important that I forgot : Keep on' truckin'
Well that's all, folks.
