It looks pretty likely that we're shutting this down. At least, for the moment. The main reason is there simply are not enough players to make this game work. Those of you who have been sticking around and writing stories, well, my deepest thanks to you, but we have all but one or two countries on the main continent, as well as most of the rest of the world, completely empty. There needs to be a much higher concentration of storytellers, and much more player interaction. Therefore, the cradle environment of Years of Excelsior has a lot better potential (I think), and we'll be focusing on that.
I suppose it's not surprising, but I'm still more than a bit regretful at having to do this.
