Absolutely. I didn't mean to imply that that time investment is too much for what CF is, just that it is too much for me, now. Even when I was still playing, the game had (for the better I think) had many changes to make the slog up more tolerable and less time intensive.

Also really well made. And my 'successes' were admittedly modest, but even those makes my vision of what a 'fun' character is in CF substantially different than what that vision was before the small handful of characters I had that did relatively well.

Glad for the game that you are back around. I wasn't aware till a couple days ago.
