So far, here in Providence, it's been a shitty, snowless winter. Lots of rain, and days with wide carnivorous blue skies, but fuck all when it comes to snow. Did we piss off the Snow Miser or something?

I am, right now, mildly annoyed with Rift, because Faeblight has been taken over, it seems, by whinging PVP-ers who use "rape" as slang for anything difficult, which kind of trips my explosive wires, and who want me to believe, without citation, that PVP servers are being immanently shut down and consolidated hand over fist because no-one RPs or cares about RP. The logic train has left the station, and these people weren't even on the platform.
Not quite sure I follow. Are RP or PVP servers being shut down. And I personally loathed Faeblight. It's one thing that's kept me off the game lately. The use of the word "rape" is odd, though I have no problem with it being applied to many situations ("Strip mining rapes the land," etc.).
whilst avoiding the ever-growing swarm of idiots.
We've been lucky in SSW:toR to avoid idiots on our RP server.
I'll report my findings, if you think you may ever return to Telara.
I want to. Spooky and I both miss the game. But we're really enjoying the great RP and genuine immersion of SSW:toR (and me not having to be guidmaster and come up with story).
While you were away, Dev came through Faeblight and talked to people about what they wanted for RP. I guess weddings was a popular wishlist item.
This just baffles and icks me out.

Turns out the reason Estrael has gotten nice & quiet while Faeblight has gotten ever more obnoxious is because Estrael and Shadefallen are being made into trial shards next week, and Dev recommend moving to Faeblight. To me, that's as good a reason as there is to leave Faeblight, though it will be the only live RP shard left in NA.
This sever merger is being done very quietly, Dev have not posted a list anywhere saying "these are the servers we're taking down, these are your remaining choices, and these are the servers we recommend" (and I understand why; people on the internet panic so easily it could completely destroy the remaining player base) so I'm having to dig to find out which ones are being turned into trial shards and which ones are being left live but not getting recommended for the ensuing tide of douche to descend upon.
The use of the word rape in contexts other than sexual violence is not itself a thing that makes me explodey. It's really just this kind of casual slang use, such as "I got raped in that WF" or "I raped that noob in the ass" that sets my eye twitching. Though, "Does your mother know you're a rapist?" is a nice retort.
I think most humans generally baffle and ick us both, Aunt B, but they are unfortunately the majority of people we will encounter in most environments.
Still, in an odd sort of way, Rift has given me a lot of story material which has nothing to do with the game in any way.
Oh yes, and my Mum has a gift for you, we'd like to know where to send it to. Do you still have my email?

Well, ugh... and I'm kind of not surprised.
I really didn't expect to like SWtoR - AT ALL. And, yet... I'm having a really good time at it.
Part of me is missing Rift, but if these changes you're talking about are going to happen? It sounds pretty dire. I honestly think they may have lost a lot of people with the inane holiday garbage. I just couldn't take it any more, and then there was SW, which had none of that... and then... well...

Not really my style, but I'll try anything once.
