[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 4537074, member: 37250"] Is LEW in trouble? We've had quite a few long-timers announce they're taking a break or leaving for good and others have just faded away. We've had only 17 new characters whose players have stuck around added to the community in 2008. We've had a particularly miserable adventure completion rate of late, with the unannounced departure of Wik and thegreyman. The majority of active characters - 20 or 25 of them - are involved in the Mega-Adventure. It's almost a year since the M-A proper began, and 18 months since it was announced. Sadly, it has been distinctly underwhelming. 'Tempest' has been officially declared dead without ever really beginning, 'Undine' has flatlined after several player dropouts and mini-rebellions, 'Nocturne' and 'Terra' have been stalled in the middle of a combat round since around August. Rystil's not been online in 30 days, and even before that was averaging only about one game-advancing DM post a month. If the M-A resumes at all, surely we're looking at another 4 or 5 [I]years[/I] to completion, if not longer. Is this a realistic possibility? So if there is a problem, is there anything we can do about it? I'd not be happy to see LEW wither away. [/QUOTE]
