Hello everyone. Today I had a bit of a problem in RL. It stems from the amount of time I take from RL to play SL. Second Life is the one of the greatest metaverses I have ever experianced. However, becoming addicted to it is extremely easy. I recognized signs of addiction in me long ago, but always chose to ignore them. I really need to get my real life back on track. I sincerely apologize to all of the people that I've met in SL, and to those who have yet to meet me. I'm afraid I have many open projects at this time, I really regret leaving most of them unfinished. I will only go IW to pack up my things. I hope to still hear from you all on the forums, Im not leaving them just yet  Take care everyone  ==Chris |

Chris, I sincerely hope you are just letting your account go dormant and not cancelling it. This is very sad news. You are about the best neighbor in Tan I could hope for (though it is rumored that every time Tan crashes it is your fault ), and a very nice guy. I really hope you're just taking a break to get some perspective and set some realistic boundaries for your game-playing time. And I hope you get your RL stuff straightened out, of course. |

Is it an all or nothing sort of deal Chris? Have you considered just cutting back your time in world? Or maybe take up smoking? hehe. Hope you get your priorities straightened and are able to stay a part of SL. Good luck whatever you decide

You're a great addition to SL and it will be sad to see you go. I hope you succeed in your goal of getting everything together. We'll miss you

Of course I'm not cancelling my account!  You all are too fun to talk to to do that.  Im just gonna cut back a bit, spend maybe an hour at most in SL a week, just to keep my account from expiring. Ill still be active on the forums of course, just not as much as I used to be Cheers! ==Chris |

Now whos gonna answer all my rotation questions? =P I did the same thing - took a three month holiday from SL infact. I didnt miss it while I was away, but once I started playing again I dont see how I didnt. Anyway, take it easy man and remember, lifes all about balance, too much or too *little of one thing is a bad thing. Michael (will never get rotations) Small
