Hello everyone. It's been quite a long time. I'll try to be brief!
Real life has been kicking my ass. My time for EVE, and thus EVE roleplay, has dropped dramatically after I started working at the factory I'm at now (of course a large amount of time is spent with the significant other as well :p). So how does this impact my RP and whatnot? Well, I try to RP Rek as a Minmatar militia pilot. This is difficult to do if there's no time to run faction warfare complexes or really PvP. This, coupled with the fact that FW is ultimately unwinnable by mechanics anyway, makes playing the character incredibly similar to having a second job.
So in short I'm going to be much much less active in EVE, particularly on Rek. I do feel like tying the roleplay so inimately with FW was a mistake, simply because it is a huge time investment. So I am in the process of preparing a new character that won't faction-corp hop like I did with Rek. My aim is to create a more casual character to play, so that my very limited time on EVE can still be spent roleplaying!
I will do my best to come up with an in-character explanation for Rek's inactivity. Of course, any suggestions are welcome in that regard.
