@Rowan it’s back up!

[Polk]

Every. Dang. Time. I do a quick internet search to refresh my memory of some Arx name, and the Punishment of Ari Corsetina log pops up in the search, it just nails me.

I really had fun there.

[Rowan]

@Polk Had is perhaps the keyword here. Following the retirement of @apos and @tehom, the database crash and the general burnout of staff in it’s wake, the game feels to be just stumbling along. It’s sad since I’ve played here since forever.

[Polk]

@Rowan I left after Ari died because I just could not get another character that had that spark for me. I briefly tried another bit but it didn’t grab me.

I think if I had stayed there for the decline I’d have hung on like the last guys on the Titanic. Because it deserves to go out with a song.

@Polk While I’m sorry it is causing you pain, it does bring me a sense of joy that Ari as a character spoke so much to you as he was one of the rosters I wrote.

I think only Sorrel and Kenna were as well embodied by the people who picked them as you with Ari.

[Polk]

@Cobalt It’s not pain. It’s just a wistful sigh.

[Smile]

@Rowan Retirement? I don’t think so.

[icanbeyourmuse]

@Rowan As far as I know Apostate is still staff just stepped back into coding and place Hejra (right spelling?) as theme lead. Tehom, semi- retired from staff. I forget exactly on that part.

[Rowan]

@Smile My bad. I used to see him logged in all the time and a physical presence on the game, but don’t anymore. My brain forgot he stepped back to code.

Folks. Gonna be real with you.

I’ve had a hell of a good time RPing with you all, first as a player, then staff. I know this is going to upset some people, some people are going to be really disappointed, but I hope that doesn’t linger too much, or too long. We’ve had a good run. This decision was a rough one, but ultimately the best: we can’t keep this going, so we’re going to play her out in style. I’m looking forward to the next few months, however short they are. For all those folks still rolling on the game, I look forward to seeing you to the end. For all those folks who left in good standing and want to come back for the finale, you’re welcome to do so. For all those folks hanging around who left but won’t be returning, I just want to say: it’s been fun, and it’s been a pleasure.

I’m not going anywhere, though. Unlike most media properties, when it comes to Arx, I have hopes for the sequel.

See you on the crazy side.

[Third Eye]

I thought about going back but end of the day I came to the same conclusion I did a while ago: I left my most active period on Arx on a really good note and that’s the experience I want as my strongest memory of the game. It’s cool to see a chapter of it get a conclusion, though, a lot of MUs don’t, and I’ll be interested to see how it ties it up.

[Dreampipe]

Oh heck, the meteors aren’t a joke this time?

In all seriousness; I’ve had some of the most creatively fulfilling times of my life on Arx and met a lot of fantastic people who I hope to be friends with for a long time yet.

I’m really glad I could take the plunge with this as my first MU* experience. I wish I hadn’t been floundering these past few months to the point that I’ve completely lost the plot (HA) but I’m still excited to see where the end of all roads take us.

Looking forward to dipping into the sequel when the day comes, I know a time skip has been chatted about for ages now and seeing it in action has me plenty hyped already.

I have so many positive feels about Norwood’s end. I’m really happy now it wasn’t RPed out, because I’m not sure it could have been done as gracefully as the action result came out.

Norwood was such a big part of my soul that even after I came to admit I didn’t have room to actively RP any more, I couldn’t let him go. I would sign on every few days to check on him.

Everyone who was involved gets .
