Wow- oh well.. bummer.
Truth is I took on a newbie who claimed she was a returning player and a loner like me. And there was one other that I allowed to stay on the citizen lists...that seemingly disappeared.
One of them betrayed me to Tribe. When I logged in on my alt... there was no Waste Claim in evidence... and no scents for the damage they made to get to my 'heart'. It was less than 20 hours since my last login.
Either they found a way to cheat or I was baldly betrayed... it killed Salem for me forever.
My RL work has increased substantially; I've been 'balls to the wall' since the Raid occurred. Today is the first day I've really had to review the situation. To peek; and I find that I don't miss it at all.
It's like Wow Vanilla... if any of you ever played it... it looks nothing like Wow today... I miss Vanilla... but I couldn't give a rat's ass about it today.
That's how I think of Salem... I miss vanilla...
Good luck... I'm playing ArchAge occasionally. I broke down and bought a Patron status for 3 mos; but my play time is still extremely limited.
Don't look for Brew or Frakked... I regressed to better days and names!
Cheers.
PS- I don't see myself ever returning no matter what incentives are offered... what made it Salem for me is gone forever. What you have today... whatever... who cares... not interested! lol
