I still do some diplomatic stuff from time to time, but since November last year i lost interest because of many reasons.
First of them, so much time and effort to put shit together and organize stuff for so less gain or total loss in some cases.
Secondly a community which reacts butthurt if you make a tactic/ruse/establish an alliance(carebear) or just make shit work like trading which they couldn't then can't get over themselves constantly trolling, i don't wanna be part of that crap anymore, just too much hustle with some(a lot of?) assholes(you think i am the asshole i don't give a rats ass fuck you anyways for fucking with my mojo)
Third there are a lot of balancing issues which in my opinion need to be addressed. EDIT: Perhaps strat 2.0? will change things to the better end
That all and other stuff made me nearly delete my char and just move on, but addiction is tough thing to give up i guess. Atm i started playing cRPG again making some xp, at least i have now time to play cRPG before November i was doing 10 hours each day clan|strat|alliance /diplomacy/trading/spreadsheats/cRPG&Wolves Forum/cRPG IRC ... and lots of other cRPG/Strat related stuff and come to play cRPG perhaps 2-4 hours a day if at all. Also in cRPG are so few insentives left now where i would care about. Got all my gear loomed, don't get smithing skills, aren't able to switch my build at least every 10 days though generations anymore (yawn boring ... and yes i made a suggestion which would have addressed but guess what), just waiting that lvl 35 kicks in then going for the huge grind to 36 then most likely killing myself as there is nothing left to do in life ^^
Well hanging out alone often on my ts as those i hang out with before are mostly now bandits for whatever reasons. And no i wont join another clan, wolves still have around 50 members, around 7 regular active and i am training some new guys and recruiting again.
But strategus can besides some battles/sieges atm kiss my hairy ass for now till i have built up a clan structure again and hopefully guys in there who don't cut and run when their leader should fall into depression again. I always wanted a self sustaining clan, people who can and want to take actions themselves and don't need me to be around all the time or see me as the only reason the wolves should exist, i hoped i could establish a little bit more, but perhaps that effort is futile with a bunch of people out of the internets. Still i wont quit ;) at least not till i get to lvl 36 ^^
The Bandits are still in Wolves Faction though and Tuetensuppe as far as i know takes care of strategus stuff on their end. Keep it up Tuete!
