Look, you guys are probably sick of hearing about it but CF is against the ropes and getting beaten worse than Chavez Jr. I'm in a position where I have to take some time away from CF due to real life and I'm a little concerned.

This has happened in the past when business got busy and what have you but I've never been looking at a break and wondering if there will be a game when I get back.

Yet it's a legit concern at the moment. Some parting advice from a veteran's perspective:

1) The edge point nerf killed a lot of people's desires. A LOT. Give it back. You can say edges were "out of control" and "bad for the game" but your player count wasn't 8 at 9pm on a Friday when you had people with 15 edges.
2) You nerfed entire classes with the empowerment changes. Make wrath one round again, give druids transmute back (even if they can only transmute their own ####), don't give healers fly back though because I want to troll the Australians.
3) Lack of diverse and engaging imms. This doesn't include Ishuli who is the best thing to happen to Cf since bash. Get Baerinika back to run fort. That is a pathetic ####show.
4) Fix lag. You can say you can't reproduce it but I somehow can *every single session*. As a serial melee player it kills my desire to PK. Which kills my desire to play.
5) Stop giving ####ty prizes as RC rewards. My last three characters had no efforts put into their roles because getting cave fighter or urbanite isn't worth the risk of getting a damn flaw which actually happened for some reason.
5) Do something crazy. Give players Masters back. Code more halloween-like forms. Do *something* to catch people's attention before it's too late. It's a game, let's have some fun.

Now you can say I'm being dramatic but I've seen this happen once with Dark Mists and the game did, in fact, die. I don't want to see that happen here.

Good luck and I'll see you fags in a few months.


Hopefully.
