Over the last few months I have had some free time, my real life is quite well in order, and I have been playing video games (EvE and Diablo 2).

I have come dangerously close to playing CF again.

Two things have kept me from doing so:

1) Every time I check here and Dios, I see the same people having the same fights they have had for the 15 years on and off (jesus, yes that long) I have played CF. It is just kind of depressing in an old-man-sitting-on-the-same-bar-stool-he-sat-on-when-you-were-21-and-are-now-30 kind of a way.

2) The time required to get a character up to speed coupled with the time required to recover from death.

Might not be worth much, but there it is. To be honest, the first is a much bigger reason for me not playing than the second. Also FWIW, there are no IMMs included in the list of posters on both forums who turn me off when I have considered playing recently.

Glad CF is still around though!
