[QUOTE="GnomeWorks, post: 1140785, member: 162"] I'll say so. I don't know how long I was expecting it to last, but I'm quite pleased with the fact that it's still going. The Psionicle is the first game I've ever run that has lasted for more than a few weeks. I'm very proud of it and the people involved, and I hope it keeps going. Hmm... your lives. :p OSM isn't older, though it's only a couple of months younger than the Psionicle. It's start is on these boards... I don't remember the recruiting thread very clearly, but I know that the first IC thread, at least, is here. Being involved in both of them, I'd have to agree. ;) That's not to say that there've been no tough times. To be completely honest, there have been at least a dozen times in the lifetime of the Psionicle that, with a new update, I could've sworn that I killed the game. In OSM, there have been several periods when Jarval couldn't update for moderately long periods of time. Fortunately, both games have lived through those tough times. The storyline for the Psionicle does have a definite end in mind. However, I plan on there being at least a few hooks that will allow the players to continue playing, if they so decide, even after the end of the current story arc (which, at this rate, will probably not end for another year or two). Perhaps part of the problem with some games is that they don't have a planned end, or at least no planned story arcs with a beginning, middle, and ending. You can't read a novel that doesn't eventually end, with the major plot hooks coming to a close... perhaps you can't play in a game that you know won't eventually come to a conclusion, even if there are adventures after a given story arc ends. But I don't know. Maybe I'm just rambling. :) [/QUOTE]
