All my chars are over 120, just sayin'...

My oldest are in their nineties and eighties, whilst my youngest is 21.

I'm just not really playing the game anymore, most of my characters just sleep work or even just sleep and one is very affected by what happened to another of mine even though they never met.

Really considering quitting... seems like all the characters I enjoyed rping with most are gone, leaving behind shattered wrecks that you can't even call characters anymore, I have very little time left in the week to play, and more than 90% of my characters are sleepers. :C It's just hard to say goodbye to the characters I really love, even when nothing ever goes right for them.
And some of them would have turned out great too, or at least I like to think so.
Edit:
That, and it feels as if the sparkle has left my corner of the green world, and I don't quite know how to get it back. We keep making suggestions for how to fix it, how to bring the life back into the game, but it seems like it can't happen soon enough. If I do end up quitting, I'm really sorry to those my characters leave behind.

So be bold, embark on a journey. There's dozens of groups that want characters to join them, but people tend to be so reluctant to do so. If a place sucks, leave. If they wanted you to stay you probably wouldn't dislike it there.

It's got nothing to do with characters wanting mine to stay, I know more than half of them have people that care/love them dearly, and I care about them too, if I didn't I wouldn't find it so hard to quit. It's just that many of them have lost so much, that I just don't have the energy to rp all the misery. And you can't just make it out as if they're okay, because that's out of character. Then I also said I hardly have time for the game anymore.

So, not so easy.

I'm tired of situation around my characters. For a long time I didn't care about it, because I hoped it'll get better.

You just need to get around my characters. They will make things interesting.

Hello
I just came back to this game at the wrong time and am struggling now... so.... I apologise.
My day timer is ticking and I don;t believe I will stop it.

Thanks again for all the interactions.

Tired of things in game, and out of game, it is most likely that I will be quitting, for those characters that actually appreciate some of mine, I apologize, but I don't think I can do it anymore.

I hope you have a change of heart, but you gotta do what you gotta do I suppose. :(

I experienced the hit-and-drag mechanic recently. Kind of put a shade of impermanence and irrelevance on all my other characters. I'll wait to see if this apathy passes.

I can't take the unnecessary changes anymore. This last one made it clear that you're just trying to make this game as confusing as possible, I mean really, you're gonna change the whole recipe for pastry dough which is used for a ton of STAPLE foods and we have to use butter but not water? Doesn't even make sense, just trying to be inconvenient.. and how am I expected to react to it in-game, all my characters magically forgot how to make pie and pizza and dietary staples they've made all their lives? I can't even react in-character to this, that's not fair at all! Animal products are hard enough to get already, I had characters who have written cook books in this game specifically written to explain how pastry dough is made without water, etc., now totally useless, I have to start over. I never ever expected then to change recipes already implemented.. this is so wrong. Basically my only way around it is to have my characters start an enormous pizza/pastry dough projects before the 15th to keep from magically suddenly inexplicably being unable to make them.. like it's not hard enough to deal with all the players making this game unbearable, now the PD is in on the torment too. I hope it was worth it, I'm just gonna stop playing... they change everything that works fine and ignore the actual issues, I'm done.. you just messed things up for a lot of my best characters, and I know if I stay then next month we'll need to make chicken stock before we can make stew, and then suddenly we'll need garlic in the pizza too, and then basil, and where the hell does it end? Thanks a lot... sure wish I'd had a say in you ruining my characters' livelihoods but since I don't it's obvious I'm not welcome in this game...

It was deemed necessary if we were going to introduce butter, which was needed for other recipes. I believe various cakes and pastries.

Quite a bit of an over-reaction. Instead why not simply have your character discover the wonders of butter? It makes making pizza so much quicker that doing it the old way isn't even worth doing any more! You could play it like you're some kind of culinary genious...or quit. That's your descision. Changing existing things is the only way to develop a game in progress. I have an entire trash envelope full of out-dated and useless guides and maps. My guess is that you're just ready to quit anyway, and this is just the final straw.
