It is hard to care about the IC activities anymore. I am stating simply my own opinion, but it's become so watered down in angst and drama it's irritating.
I generally view roleplay as an escape from the drama and angst of real life, not to have to 'play' it. If I wanted a life simulation, I would play the Sims.
Everything has grown quite stale and without any interest.
As well there is no more cohesion to the residents anymore, they've all grown into their little sects, interacting with only a select people and not going beyond that circle. Something I blame squarely on the Inn's continued existence, I also place the monotony upon the Inn as well.
I think the forest is collapsing into itself, its random and carefree nature being it's downfall. Allowing anyone to do anything without boundaries or any real authority.
I have made my attempts to change along with things, even making characters so I could play with others or trying to force characters out of their boundaries. I felt no change.
To my chagrin any decent or interesting change will never happen as nothing can be agreed upon.
This all could just be me, but I have tried my hardest to try and RP with the way it is now and it just feels more like work than play, as if I'm doing it for someone other than myself. Like I'm guilted into having to play characters instead of wanting to.
As i've stated before the constant drama and angst is just grinding. The old forest was never that way. It had it's moments, but it was about adventure and having fun, not simulating real life situations.
Also with the freedom that Forest gives it allows so many things to break and be interrupted. For those willing to sacrifice others enjoyment for their own, for those who do not care if they annoy others; as long as they're having fun.
I am growing tired of it all and I am sure I'm not the only one.
