Well, I think the time has come
I did try to put this off for a really long time. I had hoped that having another mod step in for a while would help things. Help with me and help with the game. And I think she did a really good job, that Kate.

But when it comes down to it, this game has been around for five years. It's had a really long run. And I think there's a possibility I could reopen it in the future. But right now is not the time for this game to be running.

I love it, and I love all of you, and I think that's why I've held on so very hard for so long.

But I've got a lot of things coming up really soon in my life, and I can't promise that I'd have the time to give this game like it deserves. I know there are people who would still like to play their characters, and I have characters here that I love, but it's not enough anymore.

I know that Nels feels badly for not being able to keep things up, but she shouldn't. She did what she could do, and I thank her for the time she put in for me. This place might have closed down a lot sooner if it hadn't been for her.

Perhaps I should have thought earlier about having a second in command, and then I wouldn't be so burnt out on everything.

There's still quite a bit of potential for this place. So like I said, perhaps in the future, I'll be able to work it out.

Until then,
We love you, thank you for playing with us, thank you for giving this place life, thank you for giving us great stories. Thank you for a terrific five years.

Love, Mila
And of course, Nels.
