Now then, how we doing?

Elaborate please.

How much longer do you think FL will go on for?

Seeing as it's becoming more of a player vs player type of gameplay, I do not think it will last longer than about 2 years. Promoting roleplay is fairly hard and with new users arriving with a gameplay setup so that you do not need to seek out amongst other roleplayers will generate a smaller and less devoted community - it's quite evident already, seeing the very few "regulars" that we have today. Some communities manages nevertheless to blossom under these circumstances but I do feel as if the very foundation relied on that (and how unique are these communities nowadays?).

I think a 2-year plan need to be drafted so there's clear guidelines for what is to be developed and what is not, because now, and have been for quite some time, intangible in regards to where FL is supposed to be heading; more than that "we should all have fun". I think this boils down to self-gaining atmosphere within the management (this refers to Soul and any other responsible manager within their specific area).

Do you have any regrets from your time at FL?

Perhaps that I quit too early this time around in regards to the legacy left by me, because truthfully it was right of me to leave because of work and aspiring career choice, but it was sad to see it being dragged in the mud and feeling rather disowned by someone you had felt you had a good understanding with. I ideally would of worked harder to form a team that I saw fit and also build a new and stronger foundation, but that would be a years worth of effort and with an ever growing democracy and also disrespect within the community, it was harder to form new policies without major opposition and to maintain them.

So in short, that I didn't go harder to sort out the bad eggs from the bunch.
