Play the game for the game. If you don't like it. GTFO. Or Imm and change the game.
Zulgh leaving is a punch in the crotch, no doubt, but clearly its not the end of the game.
I've been playing since '94, I'm still playing. I stay off the forums to avoid all the vitriol.
I've lead cabals, I've Hero-Imm'd a couple of times, I'd rather play than run the game, wouldn't you?
Today I got my ass kicked in the Balator Orphanage by a felar ranger as a human AP. I was dualing fire damage weapons. I shoulda run, but I bashed. And you know what? I loved it. And I came back to a full corpse.
Have fun playing the game, I know I'm going to do what it takes to keep it running. Are you?
