Hi
Sorry about pretty much disappearing for the last week. Got a lot of things going on in my life. Not a lot of it that good. I'm getting kinda burned out on MxO as well I think. Need a short break. I'll be back at the latest in-game this weekend to do some filming. I'll be at LotR online beta occasionally. Time is not my friend and I tossed a lot of it away this weekend. lol.
Anyway. Just wanted to give a heads up.
Cheers ;D

I hope you can recover some enthusiasm for MxO, meanwhile take all the time you need, enjoy other things, get a breather from MxO and then come back "with a vengence" T

Yeah, that's happened to me a few times. Sometimes you just gotta take a break or vacation from the game. If you're still feeling it, try and create a new character from your alt. Sometimes getting other stories going can renew some vigor.

Thanks. I'm also kinda frustrated with some of our faction and thier lack of desire to visit or post on our forums. What's the point of being in the fleet if you aren't going to communicate with the rest of us? What the hell is that all about? Real soon I'm going to start enforcing that "Gotta register on the forums" deal I talked about in the Faction rules for TTB. Regardless of the consequences. I don't care if it's three people sitting around a hardline and calling themselves a faction.. I am tired of this humming and hawing and pissy little "I don't like forums. Whaaaa." bullshit. If I can find the time to be here so can other people. I'm sick of saying "It's posted on the forums". I've never had this problem before. Hell... the Supergroup I started in City of Heroes is STILL going .. and I'm not even there anymore. Haven't been for two years. Then I look at our faction and I think what the fuck is wrong with these people? Why the fuck do I have to do everything? And why the hell aren't some of these people registered on the forums? It's funny how often people tell me they will recruit.. but in truth how often does that happen? How many of you were NOT recruited by me? How many in the past? I've filled our ships three times over with people that have come and gone. Don't you think I find that frustrating? Disheartening? Maddening? Damn skippy I do. But I still drag myself to Tabor and Uriah looking for those gems in the rough. Sorry about the rant.. but what I just said is a large part of my problem right now. The rules are simple. Register and contribute. Or fuck off. I know damn well that some join us just for the name. The street cred. But they don't last long normally. I got more contributions out of cypherite spies than some of our own people. How sad is that? Look. I've built up the infrastructure. The system is in place. All you folks have to do is contribute. Recruit. Show MxO that we are the best damn faction in the game. Hell.. we even have the resources to help out fellow factions like the Pride. But damn it... I can't do it all myself. We have a domain name. We have forums. We have a faction with pretty loose recruiting rules. If I do go away ... will TTB survive? My clans and groups in the past have. I'm not so sure about this one. You want to do something? Then DO IT. Say... Hey, Sky, I'm going to redesign so-and-so page. Hey Sky, I'm going to hold a party. Hey, Sky, I'm going to hold an event. Hey, Sky, I have a cool idea for the base. Hey, Sky, I have some recruiting idea. I'll back you up. As much as I can. But I'm real tired man. Down to my soul. I care deeply about this group but I can't keep this up. I'll burn out and disappear eventually. Just being honest with you. It's not a threat. Yeah. I'm gonna go smoke a doob on the balcony now. Maybe my mood will improve. ;D

*raises hand*
Not recruited exactly, more likely "muscled in". hehehe.
I do understand what you say sky. I remember having my crew, my god was that a chore before I disbanded it. i had a rocking crew when many people that were on it contributed. There was communication through the butt, but those people eventually left to form their own crew, and when I saw them leave both God and I wept....
Fast forward, I got other cool people to join, but they were only online once in like every month. Very few used the BBS i created for MxO, let alone register. Many people I tired to recruit left within the next two days, which really blew! Plus I actually got one ungrateful prick talking down to me. I quickly told him what-foe!
I didn't even try to make a faction, but trust me bud, I have an Idea where you're coming from. If there's any TTB "Lurkers" around...
*cracks whip*
Hurry up! Don't make me come back and show ya'll how it's done!

Heheh, Sky, we ALL need breaks from an MMO, reality hits us and hits us hard. Or we just get burnt out and pissed off. I've taken so many breaks from all of my MMOs, I haven't played Planetside for more than a month, and SWG I barely get on anymore. But yeah man, take all the time you need.

I understand what you mean Sky, and I've been in your shoes before. That is almost the exact reason Catzi and I left ND to begin with, I advise you take some time off. If you stop viewing your time in game as fun and start seeing it as a chore then you need a break. I'll start hustling any members of the Pride I see and getting them on the forums.

I thank you for hanging in this long and i wanna reasure you that all of us, ttb, pride, heck even guest wont leave you hangin much longer. this is a great forum and your hard work is what made it so. I hope i can speak for us all when i say we are ready to do what is needed to make your load lighter. that said shall i roll you up another? ;D

Oh... and Sky... while you've been away, I've gotten up to lvl 22, By the time you come back I'll probably be in the 30's xD. I agree with Pylat thpugh, you need a BREAK!, You give us so much and we give you so little, all I can suggest is, don't live up to other people's expectations, ignore everyone for while, do whatever the hell you want! lol.

Thanks folks. With what's been going on in my life outside mmo's for the past looong while and then the situation here it all kinda reached a breaking point for me. And Treck.. just because I'm on a break from MxO it doesn't mean I don't notice things like sigs. hehe. 500x150. I've been busting my butt on MxO, from my point of view, for two long years now. I'm tired. I've been beta testing Lord of the Rings Online and that's kinda fun but I discovered the same problem there. People join for the cool name, The Travelling Band, but they don't come here and register. /shrug I don't know... Humans baffle me. ;D

I kinda put Taka in charge of some stuff. Get hold of him. I'm sure he's got a ton of ideas. Talk to Catzi and The Pride. I'm sure they could use a hand or five with all the stuff she plans. Real sorry about leaving you guys high and dry like that. I didn't plan it. hehe. I'll be back in-game this week sometime. Getting some stuff in RL sorted out.
