Maybe it's just me but I get bored with my pet-projects within seconds of their completion. The only thing better than finishing something you have been working on for ages is starting something new.
I'm not talking about projects; I'm talking about stories that last. I'm talking about relationships that have been tempered by time. I'm talking about the very fabric of what has made Kiwike such a great experience for at least me and Cerce, and the lore that has been spewed forth from the very core of that emotional hurricane that only friendship and betrayal and hate and forgiveness and respect- in other words, history- can create.
Yes, we can start anew, but to do that would be to estrange ourselves from the past we look so fondly upon. For it is this past that has shaped the server and the connections between those who are fortunate enough to play on it. Ridding ourselves of the lore that has been woven would not be like shedding a skin as Android suggests, but rather like tearing out a soul.
