my activity is dropping which is damn obvious. i rarely ever play the game and the forums, while you are a group of amazing people, have started to become a tad dull for me. i will stay for war and staff stuff but that is about it. dont expect me back until around next year.
the real reason i am leaving (not saying the others arent real, just that they arent the main reason for my leave) isnt valid in my eyes. rob knows the start of it but there is so much more to it than that. that event started a chain of other things, now half of the people i used to call close friends now hate me, the one person with whom i can confide in properly is trying to deal with all of this pretty much on her own, as well as about 3 other people's problems as well. it is obviously stressing her out about it and i am feeling crap that i cant do anything to help despite her saying that i am doing so much as is. basically, i am leaving because RL is stressing the shit out of me and this community has been so much less than what it used to be to me.
id say who has been fabulous to me in the community but since im not permanently leaving, it seems irrelevant.
the reason that im posting it in general discussion is because higs has said that she doesnt like people posting in farewell unless they dont intend to come back. i guess this can count as a preparation thread for when i do come back from my hiatus and properly know whether i will stay and leave, but expect me back next year i guess. the reason i am posting this at all rather than just leaving is because i like to feel that i have made an impact on this community, no matter how small, and that the community has made an impact on me. so i would just like to let you guys know that i am leaving for a while.
