I can certainly see how you'd get bored and want to quit.So basically what I'm saying drothgery... before deciding to quit the game entirely... give yourself a final three or four paragraph post right now with Daellin sitting on his horse and just talk about how he's feeling or what his thoughts are.  You might find some new things inside the character that will spark further ideas for how he can continue and still be enjoyable to you, and even more importantly... stonegod might find something within it that he can use to drop in new bits of stuff for you to do.</blockquote>
