Criminal negligence...

...of FA. Seriously, I haven't been on in *months*. I feel so guilty. :(
Well, I'm going to try to start posting at least once a week, though I'll probably nuke all the old submissions I haven't seen. It's just not practical to go through them at this point.
Much has happened in the intervening months that I haven't been on to talk about, like my car getting totaled in a hailstorm. It wound up for the best-- the car still runs, I got a substantial payment from my insurance company, and they reduced my premium since my car is now technically worthless.
Most of what I've been doing online in the mean time has involved Earth Eternal. It's a free MMORPG that is still in beta and certainly shows it. Lag is a major issue, you occasionally die due to server glitches, the combat is still rather unbalanced and gets old quickly in its current form, there's no PvP yet,(though they are working furiously on it) half of the playable regions they have planned aren't open yet, and they still completely overhaul the economy on occasion. Yet despite all these things, I am still addicted to it.
That probably has to do with the fact that it's FURRY! Over 20 playable races,(still expanding) most of them anthro, and not a human, elf, or dwarf amongst them. Furthermore, the players are furry, or at least most of them. There are at least 5 furry clans(that is, they explicitly have 'furry' in their title, I'm sure there are probably more that don't) and the fandom is often discussed openly in region chat. There's your standard assortment of furs with a few non-furs thrown in, and the usual accompanying drama does occur on occasion, but most of the time it's got a great player base. It was nicely summed up once by another player in region chat-- "This is the only MMORPG where I can openly play in a clan called 'Rainbow Furries' without getting harassed by other players."
So that's what I've been spending most of my time on. Damn you Lavawolf, for introducing me to this game!

I've heard suggestions about playable crocodiles before, but I can never be quite sure what they're actually going to add. Hopefully several new species by the final release date. For now the lizards are enough for me. Also, you can create 4 different characters at a time, so it's not like you'd be stuck with only one species.
