I took a break, after playing steadily since persistence. Break was about 2.5 months, I think. Played some other stuff, did some other things. And I gotta say, it was the best thing ever. Sometimes you don't realize you're too buried in something until you take a step away from it for a bit. I felt bad at first, and out of touch with what was happening. And now I'm catching up on release notes for the past several releases, feeling really awkward playing my character, etc. - all of which is going away fast and SotA stuff's feeling smooth again. I have fishing to catch up on, more skills work to do, new stuff to try with the changes that have occurred... So just wanted to say welcome back me, for at least a while, and when you start to feel kind of treadmilly it's a really good thing to do. Nice updates btw. 2019 looks exciting! Also Happy Holidays to everyone!
Methinks many here could benefit from taking a break and getting some perspective by the posts I read !
