Sasi has never had much of an OOC mode.
Perhaps I am too weak in my RP skills to carry on two trains of thought and feeling. I have played characters FAR different than myself in PnP RP games, but I find that the realtime nature of MMOs makes that difficult for me. So I slip into Sasi like an old pair of jeans that fit me perfectly, and just exist. I am she as she is me and we are all together. koo koo ka choo.
However, should Sasi's skills and possessions slip away into oblivion, she will still be here. I will carefully use my beloved screenshots to recreate her appearance, and she will continue.
As has been mentioned, I have found that most homins RP without knowing it, or at least without thinking about it. Quite likely that's part of why RP issues spilled over into OOC discussions. The great flame-wars in my time seemed to be totally about in-character matters. (Excepting the old anti-PvP and anti-OP things that I mostly missed due to my youth.)
It's likely also why I find NB so irresistable...
So - while I'd love to pick up where we left off, the only thing that would truly hurt me is if someone else got my name. I'd like to see a new owner give us the right to reclaim our names. (including alts)
