So, I joined Eway in November 2006, with Fai D. Flowright from Tsubasa. I played here as a player for two years and I just fell in love with this game. Everyone was always really kind and wonderful to me during a really unstable time in my life (I was a senior in high school when I joined). I always felt really welcome and at home here, and everyone who played here at the time made me feel welcome.
Things slowed down a little in 2008, and that fall I was asked to become a moderator. I wanted this game to last and I wanted to do what I could to help, so I agreed, even though I'd previously told everyone I knew I would never, ever mod a game again. I quit all my other games and devoted all my RP time to Entraceway. That was eight years ago now, and I've been a one-game person ever since. We almost died that year, but after some structural changes (like allowing the Mirrors to be used whenever people wanted), FAQ rewrites, and advertising we were as strong as ever.
We've cycled through many many many players and mods since then, but in the last five years or so I've really noticed that people stay longer and longer than ever before. We have characters that have been in the game five years or more, and players that have been around even longer. And you'd think that would be a recipe for cliquey-ness, but we've been so lucky over the years. We've always attracted the kind of players who are looking for a comfortable, welcoming place to play and who try to make it feel that way for others. I've heard people say we're considered a good game for people brand new to this type of RP and I honestly think that's the best reputation we could possibly have. I can count on one hand the amount of significant drama we've had, and the majority of it happened so long ago it was on LJ. This game means the world to me and has gotten me through difficult periods in my life. I've met some of my best friends here.
I have more feelings than I could POSSIBLY express in one comment, but I just wanted to take the time to say that I am so overwhelmingly grateful to EVERYONE who has made this game what it is. To everyone who's every passed through and given us a chance, to everyone who's stayed and settled in and made this game their home, and to anyone who has ever modded with me and helped me bring our ideas to light to create something REALLY special and amazing - thank you. Thank you SO much. We really couldn't have gotten this far without you, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you. ♥
