Welp... Here goes!
First off- Hey guys
It's been a while, that's for sure. I'm just going to come right out and say it... I am so sorry. I am truly, deeply sorry for the long wait. And I'm even more sorry for the rest of this post. You guys have been the best. Seriously, thank you. These have been a wonderful two years (yup I remembered the anniversary.) And you have all been so great.
But, I... I g2g. I have to go for good. I thought I could deny it, I thought I could fight it, I thought "No, I won't be like the others before me." But I just can't. I understand what people were saying before, and it's true: I just don't have the time for this. I know, I know-- "Jay, make time!" "We'll work with you!" But... I can't.
I also know I'm doing this after I said we'd finish rp, and I understand how much of a jerk that makes me and I'm so very, very sorry for that. It's nothing against you wonderful people, I'm just... all grown up now. Â
Ruki and I moved, that's what most of the huge break was, and since then I've just realized a lot. I have a lot of great things coming in life, and I have to be ready to meet those things head-on. I have a new house, a new job, (and perhaps next year a new marriage
) and just so many responsibilities. I won't give you the "I'm 19 and blah blah blah growing up blah blah blah" because you know what-- there's no age limit on rp!
If you have the time, go for it.
....I just don't anymore. Â
So, for any who are wondering- YES, The Wild will be back someday. A few years from now I'll sit in front of a computer and my fingers with fly off on the keyboard, and I will remember each and every one of you.
Of course, as you know, I won't be able to legally use your characters without permission from you. (and I'm not asking! I don't wanna be that jerk too) I'm saying, keep them.
Write a story-- or two! All I ask is that they are original. Don't make me find a book in ten years of "Najmah the Wolf, set 10,000 in the future after humans, etc. etc."
Instead, let me find the heartwarming story of a wolf rehabilitation's newest member named Naj, who strives to save the family business. XD I'm just saying, I would never steal your characters, so please respect my world, and the world we ran together.
As for the story, I'll have to rework that with some fresh ideas a few years from now-- and I hope you can forgive me by then and find it at least somewhat enjoyable.
As for the website... I'm changing the decor, the password, the url (https://legendrp.rpg-board.net/), the colors, and the name...
And I'm giving Admin control over to Wildwing. Â
Wild.... what can I say? This isn't goodbye unless you want it to be. You have my FB, and I'm sure if they wanted to the others could find it. In no means am I telling you to drop this friendship. With the website though, I am asking you to drop the universe. But please don't let that break your heart-- you don't deserve that. I want you to have this place, and I want you to do with it as you please.
Create whatever rp you want, and make it shine. I know you have the talent. And if you absolutely can't, I'm asking you either find a worthy successor... or destroy it. If you choose not to accept the responsibility there is an erase site button in the depths of the settings in the Admin Control Panel. Just please tell everyone if/before you do.
I'll send you the Admin account info in a PM when I'm finished renovating, which could last until tomorrow evening.
...I have to go now, and there's no way I can fit in everything that I want to say here. I hope you find yourselves again someday in the "Dedicated to-" section of The Wild (or other name if I ever change the title in 5 years). And I hope to find a smile or two on a book of one of yours someday. Respect my world, and I'll sing yours to the heavens (and buy, like, a dozen copies of yours). Guys, gals, please... make a wonderful story. For old times' sake. Â
Thank you so much for a magical time. Oh, and uh...
