No....more just that MU*ing kinda died and we both went our ways. I didn't figure that I ever actually mattered to most of the people on Crypt.

Yeah, I figure a lot of these lost friendships are just due to "going our separate ways." Maybe I just tend to hold on a little longer than most. But as for "mattering," well, I kept track! And aside from some political differences, I enjoy reading what you have to say. I commented on one of your entries from a few months back. Don't know if you saw that or not.

When it comes to MUSHing, sometimes I wonder -- was it just the stories we miss, or the people?

I still MU*, actually :)

I'd say the people more than anything else. It's the friends you make and keep that really matter. MMO's are too impersonal and too fast-paced to get to know someone. During a raid, who's got time to natter about music between poses?
