Okay everyone.
Back when Kingdoms first were geering up, and Asuka made the first post about them, I knew right away which Kingdom I wanted to be a part of. He mentioned that he would create a Medieval Kingdom, soon others talked about the ones they would create. People were talking about a Samurai Kingdom, Underground (vermain's idea) and the underwater one too.
I knew I wanted to be a member of Medieval because that is where most of my interest lay, so I posted about it, not long afterwards, (Medieval) was created. The tag system was different then... the King was Asuka (Medieval King) heh... anyway, I didn't know Asuka at that time. I became a Knight and slowly I proved my loyalty and it was noticed. Over time things got more interesting, we had wars with other Kingdoms and some RP events, overall it was pretty nice, good way to pass time.
When Asuka left Dustari, he left it to me. It wasn't what I wanted to happen, but I took it and ran it the best way I could. One reason for this was because I knew that NOBODY else out there would run it the way it should be ran. I knew that it would rot and fade away, because nobody else really cared much about it. At that time most of the good roleplayers were in Samurai anyway, what would they care? So I tried to shape it up, remove the bad members, recruit the good ones. I tried to keep some of our problems, like our guard Miru, controlled so to not cause any problems. I've tried to get new things added to the castle, and new NPCs added too, but none of that happened since I can't get anyone to help me. Especially Birdbird, who I was so sure would help with the castle. We talked and talked about what needed to be changed, and what kind of additions would be added. But then he quit his staff positions and left me high and dry!
Somewhere along the lines of running Dustari, I realised that it wasn't fun. It was work, all the fun was gone. I didn't have time to come on Graal and have fun anymore, now I had to run Dustari and put up with 10,000 PMs everytime I logged on asking me this and that, this and that. Well I have finally tired of it. And I am resigning from Dustari. It isn't my creation, I only helped it along. So it's not like I'm abandoning my own creation, it isn't like that. Now I want to pass it on to someone else. Someone who has more time to spend with it, because I don't anymore.
I am making this post because I am at a loss for who I should choose to replace me. I have asked a few people... none seem very interested in taking it over.
If I can't find someone to take it over, then I guess it will be up to Stefan to do it.
If you want to run Dustari, PM me, ICQ me, AIM me, or post in this thread and let me know why. I need to find someone who will run it and actually make it a good place! Not just some empty castle where nobody ever goes, it needs to be filled with life.
I don't want to do this but it's all I can do right now. Oh, and I'm not leaving Graal, just to make that clear.
