Bon Voyage My Friends

One of the realities of gaming is not everyone stays. People come, people go. You make friendships, you make connections. But in the end, people make their own way just as in real life.  Sometimes they want to create their own clan and try things on their own. They take their "families" with them sometimes. Most times. Yes, this is a game. Being a vampire or a werewolf/lycan is only a game. We play the game and collect souls, hunt for minions, drink blood or lumens, make Mars Bracken richer by buying the goods he supplies necessary to play the Bloodlines game.  We are completely and totally superficial when it comes to our avatars looking incredible unless we crash and come back as a cloud or even worse, a noob. Beyond that is the connections you make with other people from around the world. You get a sense for who is genuine behind that avatar.  And when they leave, it hurts. Oh you can still talk to them in IM's or hang out.  But the day to day connection is gone.

We had three groups leave to create their own clans within the last week. I bid them well and hope they succeed. We shall recover as we have before but I will miss them. It's never easy. I bid you a fond farewell Winterwolf, Humbridge and Stratten families. Thanks for the memories.
