Idle Question



I've been feeling mildly nostalgic recently and I'm considering once again playing. Before people run screaming, I would not be resurrecting former characters. I'm looking for suggestions from people who still play, both for good games/areas and also any game whose admins would rather I not join the game or their area(s).

Things I'm looking for:


  • A "no questions asked" atmosphere. I will, if asked, admit to being a long-time player. If people want alts, I will decline to answer. I want to start over and be judged on my current merits, if any. I don't want to sink or swim based on things I did from 1992-2004.

  • Areas active in late-night/early-morning US time. I'm nocturnal, and I don't see myself playing in the evenings unless [livejournal.com profile] callicrates does as well. I have a feeling this would be exceedingly unlikely. A game or area with a lot of Australians might be ideal.


Those are pretty much my starting criteria. I have no idea if I'll actually go through with the idea of playing, nor do I have anything more than a vague idea of what I'll end up doing if I play. I would rather not know who plays whom, and I definitely want to know if there are places where I'm outright unwelcome, haven or no.

If I ever build a new Pern, you'd be welcome as haven as ya wanna be. That being said, I don't see it happening. So Perned out right now.

It's ok; it took me four years to get to the nostalgia point.

I had that feeling briefly last year, but made the mistake of actually reviving a character on SouCon. Poor J'ren...he was my last one to fade away the first time, but resurrection didn't do much for him (especially since my 20s brain has no clue how to play a 40s character...)

My crazy work schedule was quickly the death of that bout of nostalgia. However, if you do find any place interesting, please share! I might be feeling creative again some day.

Will do. I'd love to see you more often.
