Mattie's roll call got me thinking. We haven't had any "baddies" on the forum lately, and I didn't want to get too off topic on his thing, so I despised this was as good a place as any to bring it up.

There is no drama around here anymore. Whether it be created by a common enemy, or just by clan disputes or internal affairs. Everything is quite. Now, I don't want any drama, but it is odd that there is none around here, and I know it isn't because the mods have gotten to every baddy in VW.

Not even the OOS is working to stir up anything! And I know why, it's because by now, half of the forum is in it, and we aren't active, they aren't active. That, and the current unknown just isn't doing anything to spice up things.

The forum is not dying because VW is old, it is dying because we are not trying to help it thrive. The smaller in-game community plays a part in the forum's downfall, yes, but we aren't doing anything! People used to flock to the forum all of the time! Why is that!? Because the people of the forum led them here. Why did they do that? Mainly... Clans. And what are the clans doing now? Nothing. They are all majorly composed of the same people that have been there the whole time, watching their comrades leave, and not doing a thing about. Lately, all we have been doing is clinging to every last new person to join the forum, and get them to join us so that they can... Do what exactly? Sit around, waiting with us!? We are basically useless now... We are all friends, whether we want to admit it or not. We want it to stay that way. We don't want to lose connections to our friends, and that is why we stay here. Many of us have lost interest, and faith in VW. We cling to our clans and our friends.

I think that we have become weak. And... Even if some of us have lost interest in VW... We also stay because we want to help it. We want to help VW, and we want to help Lopdo, even though it seems most days like he has abandoned us, and his game. We stay... Because of our bonds. Our bonds to this game, and to each other. Don't you want more people to feel the love that we few remaining forum-goers feel. That bond between those who play a game?

We all know... That eventually, more of us will leave, whether we want to admit it or not. We will fade. And we will one day forget that we once had close friends that had shared a common interest in a Risk-like game on the internet. I don't want to forget. And I don't want to lose anymore friends... But I can't help if they leave. I can, however, make new ones. And they can make friends, and share the bond that we all feel. And I will stay to watch them go. And I will stay to watch their friends go. And I will stay to watch you go. And I will stay... I will stay.

Please excuse my rant... I am sorry. I got a little too emotional.

Yes we are all just slowly drifting away with out realizing and the game will eventually die

Can we rethink the old plan to all pick up and move to another game. It doesn't mean we have to leave this place too. I have just always liked the idea. We could make it like WC, where there is a shared account for multiple leaders.

However, as I remember, there were not many people at the time that liked the idea of being in a clan with everyone else. Also, we wouldn't be able to choose a game. Probably even another risk-like game.

Can Lopdo just make another game... One that isn't farm related. Does anyone remember that game?

Which game?

And I forgot all about that farm game lol

If I'm not mistaken... I think I'm still number one on that game. I have it on my favorites, but no one else plays anymore.

Anyway, getting to the real point, you guys are all great friends to me too, I feel much the same way. There are a lot of great people we've lost over the years, and many I wish I had gotten to know better. I know a lot of us have become rather close over the time we've spent together and while some may say that internet friends aren't real friends, I say they sometimes can be... Screw that, you guys are amazing.

Heck, I've even had the chance to talk to a few people on here (though in Chris's case, he can tell you, I was awkward as hell). My point's the same as VM's; we're not just some people on a forum, we're a community. We have our ups and downs and conflicts, but in the end, it's like a big global family.

Spoiler: show

And if you want, we could just pick someone to act the role of the "baddie" and slaughter him in the glorious name of Lopdo.

I completely agree. The problem is, people are becoming disinterested in vw,including me, so we definitely have to find another game. No one seems to be willing to switch to other games, especially if it requires a download, even if it means everyone can still be together.

If we go to a new game, I suggest The Infinite Black, a space based MMO. I've already got a badass corp and could use more folks. It's on ios and Android.

If it were to be anything, I would propose SSL2.

Any time I do not play this game, but I see that the comments did not become just a game, but a community ... I hope one day I can be part of it .. the good times Autum; D

Oh, I've played that game before. It is pretty fun. My friend told me about it when I told him about VW a while back.
