It seems that I made a mistake in posting what I thought was problematic and unjust. Pardon me for seeking a solution from this particular arena. XconX, a person who no longer plays and has admittedly quit the game, has pinned the blame squarely on me for the faults of this game. So be it.
It has been a blast playing for as long as I have, and with the numerous other players, many who no longer log on, or have cancelled their subscriptions.
Perhaps, HiTech, if you were to look at the actual posts prompting me to say what got me muted...and what I actually said, you would have a different view of why things happened the way they did. It isn't just about numbers.
This thread has shown me that, even after 18 years of a constant subscription, it is probably time to do something else.
As far as I'm concerned, someone can close and lock this thread.
