Retirement
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2023 3:13 am
Hi everyone,
As you've all probably noticed by now, I've been pretty absent lately. I have been on a break from NWN2. Unfortunately, I don't think that break will be ending. I am very burned out on NWN2. Between character developments that have largely left me on the outside of regular RP and the fact that I was becoming overwhelmed by the amount of development work I was promising and other work that needed to be done (and how uncooperative the toolset and game are), the server had gotten to the point where it felt like a job rather than a hobby. And since I'm now working 6 days a week and trying to otherwise get my life in order, my time at home is generally being reserved for resting or doing hobbies that I do enjoy.
I came in as an admin at a time when the server's prospects were looking very dire. I had applied for the position with a lot of energy and had a clear vision for what I wanted to do to move the server forward and build morale among our staff and players, and I feel I had made some good steps in that direction. But things have stalled. While I still have a vision, the energy is just no longer there. I feel it is absolutely essential for server administration to be active and invested in the server, and I cannot remain as an admin while I do not have that investment. As such, I am going to be stepping down from the position of admin and server staff. The team has been working hard on selecting replacements, which will be announced soon.
I may still stop by in-game, and if I get the energy again I might re-apply to staff. But for the time being at least I need to step away, and it is not appropriate for me to stay on as admin while I am not fulfilling my responsibilities to the server. I am sorry that I was unable to get to everything that I had been planning.
Thank you for the times we've shared together. If you need to contact me, I'll still be available on discord in the BGTSCC servers.
