Is it lack of interest or lack of time? Either way it may only be temporary, I've had the same problem before and later regretted losing my characters. My suggestion is just to send all your boring ones on a long trip. By the time they get where they're going you just might feel like playing again.

But this is a prime example of why I never make more characters than I can handle. I figure five fairly active characters are better for the game than fifteen that never speak, and even if I do get really busy or just sick of them it's easy to make preparations to keep them alive for awhile without my having to babysit.

(Actually, I'm getting very bored with one of mine right now. It'd be better if there was some interesting conversation to get involved with, but half the population sleeps and the other half just hits animals and whispers and barely responds to questions...)

That one worries me a little

I know what you mean though, sometimes Cantr become so much of a chore, i'm not quite playing out of obligation yet, and hopefully i wont ever, but still...

The two are not separate issues. I only make time for things that interest me. Therefore, if I have no time, it is because I don't want to have time. Currently in my life, I'm undertaking a pretty major blogging project (I'm video blogging), trying to start up a new business, leaving my old job, and grieving for my cat, who is dying.

Needless to say, in the face of much more important things, Cantr just seems to be very... meh.

I felt like I had to play a little while ago when I didn't want to.... Like no more desire to play, then I made this friend (cause of the characters) and it got fun again cause we would talk about the actions after....So I just started playing again

Playing cantr is a obligation?..... As real as cantr is Its a only game and its not like there your charecters are your pets or something. If you dont want to get on cantr then just dont, I mean. If im bored with a charecter or dont reall give a damn about them im just gonna let them get the sleep sickness. I mean why play cantr if its not fun?. If you feel its a "chore" to check up on your charecters do some thing bad, steal or hit every one in town and then run then all your problems for that charecters are gone or if you really ambitious you can just keep attacking your self until your dead :wink:
You are the perfect drug.....

It's very hard to explain.. I guess it stems from not wanting to let people down who you RP with, if you just let your charrie fall silent, and it's one who frequently interacted with a charrie of another player, there bound to get a little pissed

Hehe..Kenneth was amusing for the brief moment that I met him. Without even knowing it, he scared the hell out of one of my characters. Went into hiding for like half a year after some project was done..

Aww and he was just trying to be friendly! :lol: Well, there's a good thing to remember, get a house and a load of food and if you don't feel like playing, just go inside and wait a year or so and maybe things will change.

No, I think it was when you were sleeping. There's this old lady that hasn't been out of her house in ages, Ken saw she was jumpy and wanted to be extra friendly and careful but he was so happy when she gave him food when they were running low all and so he hugged her. Poor old nutter...

For some odd reason...I'm thinking this friend could be me?? :lol:
Awkward: Having your phone go off full volume during a funeral.

Even more awkward: Your ringtone being "I Will Survive"

The most awkward: Coming back after a 10+ year hiatus and swearing I'd never come back. :twisted:
