I had another on some of these debates/research-a-thons over the past few school free days, and I think I've finally come to something: It has taken me over 12 months to do so, but I believe my career in game development is being a community manager for computer games. This job would suit my three passions in life: Meeting new people, going new places, and doing new things. I really do think it is where I would rather be, and even though I'd probably not be making my dream game, I'd still be having the time of my life.
Now that I think I've finally decided once and for all, its time to make a few changes...I'm thinking of once and for all shutting down my online game, and lay it to rest. It's had its moment, but now I really do think the journey is over. It's been great, and I think without making it, I don't think I'd be where I am today.
As for The RPG Tree: This would probably help me with my career, running a community and all, but I need to make it get it more active. We haven't had a new and active (excluding one, which spammed his way up to the top 10 posters at around 530, before been banned by the friend who invited him in the first place) member who has stuck with us since...I don't know: Its been months! I'll be working with the team to try and come up with a new strategy for growth, but it will be awhile till we see anything really come about.
Now I've gotta figure out how I can get involved in becoming a community manager: Been a writer looks like one way, and I might look into that abit more. But for now, I'm currently downloading the client for The Lord of the Rings Online: I love the books and movies, and I'm getting abit sick of Guild Wars, but it will be good to go back to it. The client is 5.7GB, so it might take not end til 10pm tonight (The download has been running since 4pm yesterday, with an average speed of 40kb...stinking AAPT...)
