You don't actually have to answer the question. Though if i had to answer, I'd say they returned because wherever they went wore quickly. To put it shortly. I am back! Woot! In Hathian and role playing right now actually.
It's really interesting when you've been somewhere so long. I was in Hathian for roughly two (2) years did my stint as a business owner then a CD business Manager. I had developed characters friends and what not. To put it simply. I was quite ingrained.
But what I found that after settling into my new environment, which turned out to be a Medieval fantasy Sim Duo. It was as if I'd not been in CD forever. I always had this niggling though to go back and pick up where i left off with the Clam, OOC at least. I have anew character. Of course lol.
Funnily enough though. In my newer of role play areas. I kept the one character, while I had alts I had no desire to play them. Which has actually got me thinking as to the depth my character, not me. But my actual characters were ingrained. Which in reality wasn't very much.
So I am back, in Hathian with a new Character, someone I wouldn't usually play a little left field for myself and not as developed. So I'll be building her here, making her some friends and what not.
I have also become highly addicted to Kreayshawn. Her music rocks.
