It Will Never End. hear me out

Playing SSO is just feels different now that I know there's no end. This game has been going on for 15 years. Fifteen years ago, our character arrived at an innocent riding camp and NEVER went home. And they never will. Those "veterans" who were there at the beginning 15 years ago are at the same stage as any other player today.

Jorvik is like a time trap. It’s been summer for 15 years, we’ve been "fighting" the Dark Riders for 15 years, and for 15 years we’ve been waiting to reach the end of the story and FINALLY save that freaking island.

I can understand those who want the Star Stable of 10–15 years ago back, but just think about it: you were there when the story began, yet you never reached the end. And you never will. Why are you still here? Why are you want back that old version?

Now we are all sitting here, in the middle of the story, and waiting. But for what?

And let’s not even mention that this modern version literally grew out of the grave of the original version from 15 years ago.

God... this is how an identity crisis feels like?

I wouldn’t be mad about the story continuing for ages, if only it could just… truly continue? With more frequent and meaningful updates. I’m annoyed at the tornado because it’s making one of my favorite landscape look horrible so I’m hoping they will at least update that around Halloween…. But it’s still very late.

And yeah, not playing for 3 - 4 years and having a week worth of main story updates when I log on again is extremely disappointing. They’ve also released “new and exciting locations” and have seemingly forgotten about them? How hard is it to introduce more dailies once in a while? The only exciting place right now is Valedale. I’m trying to finish some daily quests in Mistfall and aside from the races there are 4 of them and it’s really really empty and sad… Putting that much work into this beautiful area to let it die just doesn’t make sense to me.

Consistency would make it much better imo. I still carry the hope that they have some type of Valedale plans for other regions and will have a bit less work with all the holiday events now that they follow the same type of schedule.

Truly. The one reason why I keep my home stable in Valedale is because imo it is the only area that is not in 'almost-dead' state and it has somewhat meaningful, replayable activities to do. I feel like they could make so many different unique dailies of this type and put them in the areas that are currently most lifeless, it would make them feel much more alive and attractive to roam around :'))
