Important ToS Information & Poll
Hi Players.
It's never easy for moderators to have to tell their game that things are changing--but unfortunately, that's just what we have to tell you. We started this game three years ago with a lot of anxiety and apprehension, and you guys turned it into something amazing. We couldn't have been any happier with our players.
Unfortunately, with my wedding coming up and taking care of my father and the health problems that Wizera has been dealing with, we're just not able to dedicate the time to this game that modding takes. We've been on the player end of games closing, though, and we know how hard that can be, so we want to leave you with options.
Maybe you feel this game is ready to be let go. Maybe you want to organize a final event. Maybe you want to try to keep playing your characters in these settings for awhile as a sandbox without moderation (though we are happy to hand over the information to the mod journal if you'd like to maintain any lists). Maybe you want to open your own spinoff game (using the ship? set in a dollhouse? who knows, this was just an option we knew someone would think of). Maybe you have an entirely different idea. Either way, we want player input. So we're putting this poll up here for the next week (until 6/9). If there's something else you want to suggest, feel free to write it here and we can add it to the poll.
Please know how hard this was for us to post and how much we do appreciate the time so many of you have put into our little game. We wish our schedules could go back to being what they were three years ago, but we want everyone to be as happy as they can be with things having changed how they have. We won't leave you hanging about the mysteries of the metaplot. Regardless of the outcome, we'll put up some kind of post where we'll answer any questions you might have about the game, the NPCs, or the history of the Nysgods.
In closing, we love you guys. :)
