Hey fellas,
I know it’s been a tumultuous several weeks for a lot of folk. I don’t think this comes as a surprise, but I decided I was done a few weeks ago and that I’d be stepping down. I had hoped to leave it in good hands, but the reality of the situation is that we have about two months of server costs left in the bank, and we’re just about out of experienced staff willing to deal with the drama.
It is with this in mind that I’ve had some long conversations, and have decided to close the server down. With what money we have, we’re going to focus on winding down and giving people a satisfying conclusion for their characters. It’s been a good run, I have a lot of good memories of being here, and I hope most of you can say the same.
On current events:
I think Dee’s a jackass and I do not need to contrive further reason to want him gone. There are certainly parts here that I’ve fumbled, but it has not been with the characterization he has portrayed, and I do not regret the stance I took.
I think as a server we have a long history of vocal protest, of feedback threads and callout posts, so much so that I think there are some that have normalized being vitriolic as a suitable form of expression when there’s passion behind it. It is not; this is a game we play on, and if there’s not some semblance of respect at the end of the day there’s something wrong.
I think the bulk of you all are quite lovely; that we’re all here to have fun and do the best we can. I’ve gone ahead and banned the people I think are toxic. If for whatever reason you can’t abide this, you’re welcome to seek harbor elsewhere.
On what comes next:
For the rest of you, we’re going to focus our energy on giving your characters a good conclusion, wrapping up any loose ends, and sending off Hollowworld’s narrative with a bang. We’ll have some more to come on what that looks like and how to get involved, but for now:
If you want schematics for any of your builds: Make an IGT ticket, and we’ll get them out for you.
If you want anything off the forums, grab it, they’ll be up as long as possible.
If you have ideas or suggestions for any big events you’d like to see, post them {here} or express support for ones already in there. We’ll try to get through as much as we can, especially if there’s a lot of support.
Otherwise, if you have something your character would like to accomplish, no matter how far out there, or have a conclusion in mind for their arc, please either post it {here} or in a ticket, and we’ll do our best to have it happen either in an event or as a personalized epilogue. If it’s a group thing, that works too. The only real rule here is that your good ending shouldn’t interfere with someone else’s.
The plan is also to end things in a way that has a ‘canon’ reason for your character to show up elsewhere if you’d like to continue playing them in another setting or server.
If you’d like to help with any of this, please let us know too.
