Potentially bad news, potentially good news Whether it is or not depends on your satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the game at this point. The fact is, I originally created this game with a very specific purpose. This purpose...somehow died along the way for me.
I do not want to simply close down a game that so many people are in and enjoy. But I can't, and don't, want to be the mod anymore.
Should anyone be willing to replace me, or co-mod it with someone else, then you'll give the game a chance to keep running. I'm not running out immediately, but I need to move on to other things and I won't moderate this forever. This is a great place and I like everyone here, really - you're welcome to keep talking to me on AIM and stuff if you want, or poke me if you've never really done it before but want to. It's perfectly fine.
But a mod whose heart isn't in it shouldn't be a mod, as much as I love this game. And I do love it. But it's become a job, and that's just not right to view it in that way for the people playing the game. :\
Selfish as it is, Metatron is a character who is too dear and personal for me to keep in a game I intend to leave. If anyone replaces or co-mods it, heaven's side will get a new angelic guardian to replace Metatron. Some other angel called to replace him by God, for Metatron has other work to do.
Lucifer can simply be taken up and continued on. He's evil, he's powerful. Anyone who felt like taking him up probably isn't going to have a hard time of it.
Please, please contact me if you are interested. Via comments, email, or AIM.
I am incredibly sorry to anyone I disappoint with this news.
