ooh look. we're completely dead again. yay.
I think it's starting to become obvious that none of us here are really into EOing any longer. None of us have the motivation//time to post//create chars//use initiative to start their own little SL.
Every time I say this people go "oh no! We'll come back and RP and do stuff.. don't close it down." But I think that EO was never really going to work as an RP. It was too complex and we've never (save the first few months we were open) had enough players.
Plus, I suck at creating SL's. Which definately hasn't helped things along. Mainly because I haven't posted any.
But now with Uni starting next month and my social life becoming utterly suupah, combined with working four to five nights a week, I don't have the time to be online for any longer than about an hour at a time.
So perraps it's time to let EO die completely. It's kind of like I've been keeping it on life support for far too long simply because I'm attatched to it.. but it's not doing any good still being open and then not having anyone post in it for weeks. I tried giving it a new format by means of livejournalling, but only two people have seemed to notice it's existance (ironically, people who a) haven't RPed at EO for about a year and a half and b) haven't even created a character yet)
I don't know how many people will read this. maybe one or two.. but just to let you know, EO is offically dead for the time being. I may resurrect it in the future if I can get reliable moderators, players and some good ideas.. which, when looking at what we have at the moment may be a very very long time.
Sorry to anyone who happen to think that we'll be able to continue with EO. I'm sure we'll all keep in contact somehow.

However, I do believe that EO will someday be ressurrected; it's been saved from a close death too many times, and while I haven't rp'ed here in a very long time (and when I did it wasn't very much), I think it's in a cyrogenically frozen state and will return someday 
Sounds weird coming from someone who hasn't rp'ed that much, eh?
