[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4334055, member: 3087"] 4e is a big factor right now I think. It's a new system. It's complex. There's a lot of excitement. Obviously, many people aren't switching, but a lot of new games are getting started, etc. that's a big drain. I've got three 4e games on the hopper and my vampire game is suffering as a result (but the remaining players & I have talked and they're all busy so it sorta works... need to post but anyway...). (KotS lagged a bit too, but that was more of a short term thing I think) So I've been "chugging" for the last day or two. But once the games get going going (and KK is temporary going to ease up soon I think) I think we'll even out. This is definitely a factor in terms of why people drop out (DMs but also players). This... I think... is not always true. I mean. I've felt that, I've been there, but it's not I think necessarily true. A lot of those emotions exist to be "toughed out". I've been sure that one game or another was going to die only to have it come back. I've been in a few games and (of course) run a few where posting has died out for a bit, or people seem lethargic. And then somebody comes back with an awesome post and you're back in the spirit. It [i]is[/i] harder than real life. But I don't think it's impossible. [/QUOTE]
