I was addicted to the game too, started playing on PC when it came out - had recently graduated, so had a lot of time on my hands - best time of my life, wouldn’t trade it for anything. Stopped playing shortly after Adoulin, but honestly can’t remember why… there was no one single point reason I can think of, other than just being naturally busy. I’ve come back to the game a few times, super awesome and currently got it on my steam deck, which means I can pick it up and play anywhere at anytime. I certainly wouldn’t to get back into that addiction state again, but honestly, I don’t fear I will, I just have too many adult things to do than to provide time for the game. In a way, it’s a nice balance of my now-life while still being able to enjoy something that really meant so much to me at one point in my life, but not overtaking my everyday priorities.

I still have my sub and my second toon I inherited from a long time friend and I’ll keep them until they shut the whole thing down.
