...Or does it seem to anyone else TRF (From the character's perspective) is becoming a lot more depressing?
I mean, maybe I'm just starting to notice more, but everywhere I look something bad and depressing is being commited somewhere. I thought we'd get a break after the TNO war, and now we have to fight BDE, and frankly BDE is even worse then TNO.
Plus, I'm seeing a lot more sith then usual. Maybe it's my imagination, or maybe they've always been there, but why arn't there any Jedi trying to stop them? Where is the lightside?
Speaking of which, I recently started to feel us lightsiders might not be doing our jobs right. For one we lose everything. Two there seems to be MORE bad-guys around these days. And three there's like five guys on the light side and that's it, against pretty much the rest of the board because no one either has the inclination or the backbone to stand up to TNO.
Also, the tone of writing, although high quality (as always) seems to feel darker to me these days. I mean, in the past it was heroic Good Guys fighting foul Bad Guys, and it didn't matter who won because in the end everything would sort itself out. Now we got factions like BDE with their finger on the button shouting "Dance monkey, dance!" least they get bored and wipe out ANY FACTION OF THEIR CHOOSING (whoever approved that R&D should have been shot).
Finally, there's suddenly a lot more pressure. I mean, pre-restart I had no responsibilities outside of taking planets when I feel like it and looking after my one-man-faction's board. Then after the restart suddenly I could make a differenc, and if I didn't do everything to help I'd feel guilty as hell.
In fact, a while ago I considered taking the Azguards and just fleeing from GC deep into wildspace and never have to rp with anyone else again. But then I'd feel guilty. The lightsiders need every ship and member or else they'll just end up dead, and the guilt from my actions IC would haunt me every time I went to the boards. So I stayed, because it was the right thing to do.
Anyone else feeling this? That the people of the boards are great fun but the instant things get IC it's a depressing, war-torn mess of a galaxy with only bad guys and foul things?
