To no one's surprise, playing my lizard takes a huge amount of energy, and the three things that keep me going are not present at the moment, so I was starting to run on fumes. I might drop back eventually, when my interest is drawn in once more.

BReak time is good time. Hang in there! Amia be around when you return.

I'll be departing from the server. Whether it's for good, or only temporary, I am not sure - I am never sure.

My reasons are entirely personal and have nothing to do with the server. Life is too consuming, the Australian time zone is cruel and I don't have the time to invest in Amia anymore.

Specials thanks to the past and present DM team (Jes and Xantham in particular) for everything thus far.

Anyway, those who know me are free to contact me on Discord if they ever need anything.

Peace all.

8 years.

I've out 8 years into amia. It helped me alot during some low times in the beginning. Those 8 years are spread mostly between 2 characters. Andy being the oldest.

I'm leaving for a few reasons, but animosity or anger is not one of them.

I'd like to thank the team, both old and new, for making those 8 years fun, and dynamic, and interesting.

I'd like to thank the developers, also both old and new. For giving us a world full of wonder, and excitement.

But most of all, I'd like to thank the players. Your own dynamics and interpretations of how amia is/was/could be is what really kept me playing. The dreams and visions of what's next and where to go really showed passion for the game. And the way people told stories of how something happend, even tho I was there and saw it, showed the imagination of each and every one of you.

I'm going to miss alot of you. Some more than others.

Be nice to one another.

Hey, I did a disappearing act a while ago. Just life got a little bumpy. I might logging IG sometimes, but can't get too involved in anything right now. :3 As I might do another disappearing act during Fall, just a lot going on. Am on holidays right now for two weeks so, I peek around. I think I left some stuff and people hanging... If you're one of those, let me know. And sorry about that.

Unfortunately, I don't really remember what.... I left hanging. <.<

Freaxxshow · Post by **Freaxxshow** » Fri Sep 10, 2021 12:31 am

I'm still alive.

Honestly, looking at Amia now just makes me sad. Most people I knew have given up on it and theres basically just a skeleton crew left. Mav seems to be the only dev, there's only meetings scheduled for events, Nobody even donates anymore it seems. This place had the most dedicated nerds behind it that I've ever seen, and seeing that completely shattered is just sad.

But oh well, if anyone wonders, I've been on a weird ass self improvement trip. Been hitting the gym and basically started admiring myself in the mirror like the narcissist I am, started working on cars again and bought myself a mark 1 Miata, all in all just using all the free time that the loss of Amia brought me for normie shit. Also started skating again, at 27 years old, call that a quarter life crisis.

Dunno what point I'm trying to make. I guess the typical "Look how good I've been doing" - Nonsense. Shout-out to the folks who played with ol' Peggy if those are still active, miss you guys. And yes, that includes all of you losers.

Everblurred · Post by **Everblurred** » Mon Nov 29, 2021 4:21 am

It's been a fun ride returning this year thanks for having me and letting me experiment

Amia has long been a valued space for me off and on throughout the years

Weird self improvement trip sounds like a nice journey maybe I'll consider this personally

Hola! I have not been around much lately, nor do I see myself around anytime soon. Amia is a great and wonderful server that I have enjoyed being a part of for over a decade, and I want to say thank you all for the wonderous Rp! Thank you to the Dm Team and Dev's over the time! You all rock. Best wishes and take care Folks!

Hey man, don't be a stranger. If you ever wanna play some Valheim or Project Zomboid there are some Amians that play those games.

Sometimes I miss this place. Much of the time I don't think of it at all. But when I do, it's usually with fond memories. But I don't think I will ever be back, even though I miss the realms. There's too much of a rift from when I left, and too many memories of our golden age. Sometimes the past should stay in the past, eh? But through it all, regardless of the memories that choose to surface when I think of Amia, I wish this place and everyone joining it to be full of life and happiness. I had many friends here, and some of them would probably still call me such as I would they.

I'm alive and well, I suppose. Life is just life. But if I'm being honest in this space, if just for once to people both known and unknown, I will take this time to say that my heart hurts. It shouldn't, and frankly I'm a terrible person, but it does. It yearns for someone it should not, and there is no moralistic reason for it. I'm flawed, like many, and I accept my flaws even if I begrudge them. I should be happy, yet I am not. Have not been for three years now. And I fear my heart will never be happy. The heart wants what it wants. It cares not for right nor wrong, for what should or should not be. And mine would swallow the Sun if it meant having what it desired. I lose my breath, scream silently at the world for allowing me to meet someone so beautiful yet forbidden. I hate it and yet I never want it to stop. For stopping would mean never meeting her, and that thought feels like Death itself.

I used to scoff at the word 'soulmates'.

I've rambled and made a fool of myself. Don't even know why I'm pushing 'Submit'. Perhaps it will be cathartic.

Farewell, and be safe everyone. In my own way, I love you all.

I've already said hello to a few of you. I'm hopefully, finally, back. So, hello!
The last few years have been hard. I was away because of an illness in the family that didn't end well.
What matters is I'm back ^.^
My anxiety is pretty bad these days. To save myself a lot of discomfort, I won't be coming back on any of my old characters for the foreseeable future. Maybe some day, but not yet. They also basically all require rebuilds, and that's a headache for another time xD
I apologize to anyone who was hoping I'd be returning on some of my previous favourite characters. I need to start fresh, and so I have with a new character.
Just keep an eye out for Amia's newest awkward tiefling. See yas inside, eh!

Many know already, but I'm struggling with some real life issues.
I'll spare the details but to say my hours will be significantly down in the server.
So not a bye exactly, but I won't be around as much for a while.
Long story short, getting used to new medication and dealing with an injury.

I'm going with keeping things simple for now, which is why I'm often on Zolarix who is uh... rather straight forward xD
As for my ongoing things with Xyndrisstra, that is more or less on pause. ICly it is explained as her leaving for an unknown amount of time to accomplish some unknown task. (I know what this is already.)
I may make some IC posts to account for certain things while I'm semi-away.

I apologize to anyone who has asked things of me and feel like I've gone radio silent.
I may have legitimately forgotten, and I'm having problems keeping my attention on things.
So feel free to remind me, and if I can't deal with it now, I'll say so.

Thanks for understanding, peeps. I'll still see you in game :3
