So yeah.
I thought about this a lot since quite some time already, but with the recent developments, I figured I should probably leave this site.
I think we all read Taya's post on Evelon where she stated that she feels bad and that her grandmother only has up to a year to live still. I for sure hope her grandmother has a long and happy life still, but I suppose that also means that Taya will be gone for that time and that simply is too long for me.
I actually thought of leaving before, though. I had been more than happy when this site opened again, but the problems it always had haven't been fixed. On this site, everything needs Taya. She must approve everything, reply to everything and with her seemingly unwilling to add more moderators, it's no wonder things are so slow. She tried her hardest to introduce new things which would help people to get more things faster - the training grounds, the daily log - but the problem is, these things, too, need to be approved by her, so she just loaded herself with more work and things simply didn't get done.
And that's just not how I want to RP. If I level up my pets in a training ground, I want to see these levels not six months later, but sooner. And, most importantly, I want to tell the stories of my characters, but since that, too, is dependant on Taya, I can't and that's just too frustrating for me. One reply every two or three weeks just doesn't cut it for me. There is no flow in this storytelling this way. There is no way someone can self-RP on this site and get somewhere with it. On Evelon, you can just tell your stories by inventing minor characters without having the pet/character for them, so you need no one else. Here, every NPC is played by Taya, which is why you are dependant on her and I find this frustrating. With a site concept like this, you need a LOT of moderators, especially since people are allowed more than one character.
I'm not saying I'm totally leaving for good. If the event continues on one day, I'll continue with this as well, since I don't like leaving RP partners hanging. If there will be finally more moderators on this site and things get done much faster or the system gets revamped so that Taya keeps up with things, I'll be back as well. I love the characters I have here so very, very much. However, as things have been during the last months, this site has been mostly frustrating for me and I don't want to spend my free time being frustrated. With Taya's new RL problems, this site may very well be dead again anyway. She didn't even post an announcement here...on her very own site. The members here who are not on Evelon have probably left already since they have no way of knowing what's going on.
Anyway, so long.
