While I can't speak for since I've only been in this RP for a few months, I do understand Harbingers concern about just how [i]long[/i] you all have been at this. You've been playing for a whole year, and while IC not much has happened, that's still a whole year we can't get back. Your characters may just be one-off and replaceable in your mind, but that time spent isn't so easy to replace. Some of you have spent a year fighting for Greenest, and if you happened to get killed by an errant die, that invalidates nearly all that time. Sure meta speaking you could always recreate a new character at the same level and roughly same equipment, but that's like saying you went to college for a year and then got kicked out. Sure, you could go to a new college, and maybe some of your credits would go over. But all those people you've met, all the work you've done, it's all gone. All you have left is the experience, and an incomplete one. Now I will also admit that I'm guilty of being tardy with posts. Work has been kicking my ass and even though I want to get back into the swing of RPing, just so much stuff has been going on in my life that it's hard for me to give RPing as much attention as it should. It may be a game to some of you, but for others RPing is a way of life. It's an art and how we express ourselves, and to see people think that they could just throw it away when it is inconvenient is rather insulting. I get it, you have things to deal with in real life too. Sometimes you need to step back and take a break from all of it. But just because you can do that, doesn't mean everyone else can or has too as well. I know I need to get better at it at least.
