The Absence Thread

On a similar yet less melancholy note, I have also decided to declare an indefinite hiatus. This includes the forums (except on occasion) which I spent far too much time in. Your eyes may rejoice!

I simply feel that Lusternia is not as engaging (for me) as I would have liked. My brief sessions of roleplay were broken and swallowed by long periods without any interaction or socialization, which eventually made me feel disconnected from the rest of the game and its happenings. It is not that anything is necessarily wrong with the game itself (except for monks), just that it hasn't been what I was looking for. Someday that may change.

With that said, the Admin have been outstanding in a variety of ways, from the small interactions to helping me change my character's name for the third time in my first week. This is the single MUD I have ever played where I had no problem receiving great support from administrators and players alike. If nothing else, I'd like think I made a few friends and learned a thing or two about Zscript. I am on AIM (Bluehaven52) throughout the day and welcome a good chat...


But I'm sure we'll meet again,
Someday, you and I
Another place, another time.

It's just that we might not realize
That you are you and I am me.

Due to technical difficulties, I will have -very- limited access to Lusternia, if any at all. This should be fixed soon, however, (hopefully sometime within the next few days).

I've been taking a well deserved (?) and much needed break for a few days again and I'll probably continue doing so for the weekend to come. A lot of stress from work combined with my inability to get anything done is not a very good combination.
Rancoura2009-05-10 02:40:45
Status has been changed to absolutely no access for an undetermined (but hopefully short) period of time.

I hope you're okay, Rancoura. sad.gif

Don't think many people will notice, but I'll be away from Lusty until the end of finals- June 5 for me. I feel like I need to concentrate more on studying and catching up on grades, though I might be around a little on weekends (and still lurk in forums).
Aramel2009-05-25 02:05:19
Technical difficulties may cause me to be scarce till Thursday.
Fern2009-05-27 21:29:34
I have been gone for a while, and while I'm popping in today (library) I will continue to be rather absent untill I get this internet problem I've got fixed, which probably won't be till next week.
Snaithy2009-05-29 23:37:27
I'm going on a semi-permanent leave from lusternia, I need to rest a while heh
Havulma2009-05-30 10:24:37
Same as above. I've been taking some break already and will probably continue it through the summer. I will be reading messages and news and popping in and out occasionally though. (Except for the next week while I'm on a journey away from all the computers.)
Snaithy2009-05-31 01:14:03
enjoy your "journey" Havulma. My regards to "the family" wink.gif
Saaga2009-06-01 20:22:34
Alright. I have locked myself into a nauseating loop of work and school (work from 8AM to 4PM, school from 4.30PM to 9PM) for the next two weeks and I will probably be able to check in on the weekends only. See you guys on Friday if I don't hang myself on the classroom curtains before that!
Rancoura2009-06-06 02:07:49
I have been absent/will be absent for a while. Month-long Internet problems are frustratingly turning into month-and-a-half-/two-month-long problems.

My apologies to (anyone) waiting on me.
Fania2009-06-19 21:34:17
I will be going on vacation soon. I will be leaving late on monday and returning late the following monday. With me gone it should be easy to end the war! Go go go.
Rancoura2009-06-29 17:40:21
I will be away beginning this Wednesday to Saturday. Absolutely earliest I will be around is Saturday night.

I'm going to France by the end of the week and staying there for a month (and then some more for going around Europe). I'll still be able to get internet, but just sporadically and in a different timezone!

I'm a bit jealous, but have fun!

Sorry to anyone that cares. I know I haven't been able to log in and probably wont till mid/late November. I got a job and will be working quite a bit with small babysitting jobs on the side, including a potential early morning nanny position.

I'm moving.
I'm engaged.

Anyway, I'll check here maybe once a week so if you absolutely need something, send a PM and I'll do my best to arrange something. Should be getting a laptop soon for when I take one of my clients to special Olympics (it's pretty damn boring but I hear they have wifi). As always, my personal home computer is signed onto my AIM and YIM accounts so have at those too.

No promises.

Buying credits soon so I won't completely disappear, then I'm most likely gone for August.
Once the school year starts up again I'll be trying to play at least once a week so I can get my character back up and going.
