Well, today, after nearly 52 months in the Reserve, I resigned my commission. Probably the hardest thing I've done in a long time; despite the fact that I've never met most of these guys in person, I still consider them to be good friends. Unfortunately, I'd sort of fallen out of love with Eve the last few months, and I think part of that was CAIN going off into nullsec to join the 0.0 wars and the my disappointment with the way things have gone in the way of roleplaying for me the last year or so. Rather than be an absentee member, which isn't fair to CAIN, I thought it best to cut the cord and move on.
What I plan to do now is a little exploration on my own to try and get me back to the right headspace where I can enjoy the game and Svetlana can find her destiny again. A bit of a walkabout, if you will. I've purchased a ship for the purpose, one that should see me through the darkest parts of the cluster (hopefully) and I'm gathering the last things I need to head out. As part of this, I think I'm going to be doing some stories or diary entries for Svetlana as she goes out, accompanied by screenshots from my travels. I know I've talked about a lot of writing projects and never really followed up on them before, but this time...well, I hope it is different. Svetlana has come to mean a lot to me over the last four years, and I don't want to see her end her career by just fading away into nothing.
I'm not sure how soon these will start up -- I'm thinking of starting this weekend, but I have some other stuff I need to take care of tomorrow (and I just started Arkham Asylum too) so I'm not sure if that will happen. I'd like to get it started this week for sure though, and it will go on as long as it has to. It's only fair to a character who has become a big part of me.
