Money isn't an issue. I have far too much free time. I can't find a game worth playing to save my life. I'm bored. I'm in shape. I have no NY resolutions to work on, and no hobbies left unexplored.

I've been trying to find a game that heavily favors character customization, and realism to a reasonable extent (See: Not being an assassin that has to spam eighty seven skills to bring down a basic target, like assorted major MMOs). Obviously, as I'm considering a return, I have failed miserably to track down said game that entertains me to any worthwhile extent.

Anyway, outside of the random "Futtilo still plays" or bitching and moaning about cunty bullshit that we all know about to begin with, why shouldn't I come back?

I've gotten over the idea that the game is slowly withering away, and is becoming a barren husk of what it once was with consideration to roleplay and story development, but it DOES emphasize creative character development, and rewards those who invest enough to make their unorthodox bullshit seem almost viable.

Either provide worthwhile support to avoid Gemstone in general, or offer up a game that may meet my criteria, and hopefully I can avoid wandering down the tired, lonely path of Gemstone noobishness all over again.

How about Aion, or the lord of the rings mmo? Apparently, they just released a good expansion. Or, you can use the best stalling tactic in the world, and just say you'll wait on dev for your preferred profession. Problem solved.

You distracted me for two or three nights, at least! You reminded me of Dwight Schrute, which then reminded me that I still have to complete my collection of The Office.

Kudos!

Buy a basketball hoop and shoot 1000 free throws and 1000 three pointers a day. You can still be the next Larry Bird, only if He was 8-10 inches shorter!

Seven inches shorter (zing), but close enough!

annnd I gave up on basketball when I realized I wasn't black like Makkah.

I tried returning. Gave it a good few months. It was boring as fuck. It felt like there was nothing to do and no one to do it with.
