I've been away from the game for quite awhile now, and previous attempts to rejoin were met with quite a few curves from real life. But with all that finally settled, I'd like to give it another go, and was just curious if the game was still as addicting as it ever was.
Find out IC.
I feel your pain, and can reassure you that if you have the time to sink your teeth into a role... Armageddon has a lot of amazing stuff going on right now.
It definately is for me.
Joooooin usssssssss.
One of us @_@
The game never stops beign awesome and addicting. It's just, to achieve that takes commitment, while being surrounded by characters you like, while having a character you're interested in. So it could be hit or miss for any given number of tries until you find your sweet spot in the game.
There is a certain slog required, and, in that slog, I sometimes wonder why I bother playing...but then I log in and something happens. The great power of Arm isn't in the stories we intend to make, but in the ones we could never have predicted.

Well put.
Back away, it's mine!
I used to have a husband and children before I came back from a 7 year hiatus.
Now he just tosses me into the shower once a week... kinda like a stablemaster.
Welcome back!
I came back from a 5 year break about 2 months ago. Was bored so decided to roll up a PC and got hooked pretty quick. I'd recommend a merchant house for most mundane roles. They all seem to be going pretty strong.
Run. Run away while you still can. I returned last December after abandoning Arm earlier because It took too much of my already very busy day. It's 2:38 am now, I usually get to work by 6:30 am. Run. RUUUUUUUUN

True story!
Armageddon's better now than it was a year or two ago, in my opinion. If it keeps improving at this rate, it'll return to or surpass its 2006 level of quality by summertime.
So in short: It's great. It's crack. It gets you really high. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYvHpVwIqYY)
Not seeing anywhere near 2006 greatness yet. I think without staff-led plots...things can't really get that epic...
It's not exactly staff-led that adds that extra umph, it's more - staff-guided and staff-involved. It's hard to come up with a "there's this really evil guy who is so evil he threatens the entire Known, and parts of the Unknown" if there aren't any PCs capable of becoming that evil. Anyone with karma can be an evil rukkian but like..the whole psi-sorc-lich-vampire-undead-ghost-spectral_creature freakazoid kind of thing - requires some serious staff oversight, if not an actual staff avatar with producer blessing.
Would be amazing to see that kind of epic danger again, instead of mob-spider-boss #78, or random_pc_nilazi #192.
This isn't really the right thread for that discussion (which has been hashed and rehashed and is in danger of becoming a very dead horse). You may discuss it elsewhere if you like.
You'd think that if an issue comes up time and time again...it might be worth reassessing. Since this is a game and all, I imagine player enjoyment and opinion should rank pretty high. Just a thought.
Thanks to all for reminding why I was addicted to crackageddon in the first place. :) I hope to see/rob/murder/be killed by the lot of you very soon.
Yeah. The game is in a really good place right now from my perspective. I'm having way more fun than I should be.
