An update from me

[MTGPackFoils]

Hello everyone,

I am so sorry that I have been absent for the majority of 2022. The last few years have been filled with a lot of changes for me. Getting a house in 2020, getting our first dog in 2021 (now 2.5 years), and our second dog in 2022 (now a year old)...(both of whom I had to stop what I was doing here in this post and take them outside). Time has been...extremely limited...and to be honest I was not having a lot of fun here. I don't know if my expectations are too high (or need adjusting), but I should not have quiet quit.

I don't think I'll be playing any more than one character going forward, at least for awhile as I acclimate myself. That also depends on if I can finally make some progress with my main character, Aeron.

I have a few people I need to reach out to. One of my biggest issues is time. In order to do a lot of the things I want to do I feel like I need to be in game 3-4 hours a night 4-5 times a week, and that is just not possible. I have canceled plans with friends, and on one occasion took time off work to deal with something in game. I don't want to have to do that ever again, or even get close to that. I also want my time in game to contribute to the overall story of my character, and the world we have all built. Playing these last few years that doesn't seem to be the case from my perspective.

With all that said I'm looking to give this another try.

Until then...

Looking back over my own observations of FRC since 2007, folks taking leaves of absence seems more the standard than the exception, to be honest. I understand how difficult it can be, trying to balance a presence in FRC with the ongoing events in one's life; another chord many of us are all too familiar with. My point is, you're not alone. We get it... and we're glad you're back with us, for as long as you can be.
Your post struck a familiar toll with me; I too have decided to focus entirely on one character, in hopes of focusing my time into a more congruent story. I think you're on the right track, personally. All that said, if I'm ever on with my main (Tanya Steel) and you want to get in some local Western Reaches RP™, or anything else you might think of down the road, please don't hesitate to hit me up. We'd like to keep your interest and presence, because FRC isn't just a server... it's you, me, and everyone here, and every part plays a role.

Welcome back.

You know I am here to rp and help develop not only Aaerons story but Kalis, Lilibets and anyone else that crosses our paths. As you know Lilibet is in the same boat as you as far as time is concerned. She is lucky to make time to play once a week and that hasn't been able to happen as of late. Friday and Saturdays are best for us so just keep us posted and give us a time and we will do our best to be there. Great to hear from you.

Kalis.
