Self-Enforced Hiatus Countdown

Hey NWRC-ers,

after a few weeks of disillusionment in terms of the sim, I decided to take a self-enforced break from the online game that has been a week to week part of my life for the last 10 years (I think I missed 1 week in that 10 years), I thought I would try and regain the vibe for the sim with a couple of months away from the game.

Well, I was pretty miserable at staying totally away from the game and all things connected to it! ... I logged in almost every other day anyways, including the 2 rezzies I am part of, catching up with the ins and outs and contests being dreamed up.
I still entered a couple of unraced breedings and a few that had only had a single run under their belts ... with mixed results.

I have entered my 2 runners for the bargain bred challenge we are running, and set the NWRC2 stable back into work and am steadily building the bp's up in that stable, so Will might have a little fun breeding a pony or two more for the prize pool in a wee while's time.

As it stands now, I plan to make a full scale return to the sim on week 4722 ... had intended to have a 3 month break, but have been going insane trying to fill the online void associated with this enforced break from the game.

Anyways, am really looking forward to my return and will look to back up to speed with the contests and challenges set up for us here at the NWRC... hopefully the simulated ponies will appreciate the break and will be ready to fly the flag for my 2 chosen residencies.

Week 4722, here I come!!! :D

Isn't it funny how the Sim becomes a part of your life and won't let you go, my friend? I have been playing for 12 years and have never missed a week, except for the time the whole game was down. Do you think we are addicted??? :roll: Glad to see you back mate! :D

Good to have you back on the board. I've been someone who takes breaks every so often, but I've always found my way back.

I find when the game starts to feel like work I take a break. Been on the low down for about 6 weeks now racing here and there but not involved like earlier. I too plan on coming back on week 4722 (half my horses have been resting for 2 months or more) and work my way back in. Sometimes just a small break from the routine of it makes me enjoy the game more again :D

Anyways welcome back
