I have a very strong opinion about people who support MOULa* but stay in Second Life. If you support MOULa, be in MOULa. To me your being in Second Life and not MOULa cancels out any support you claim to have for MOULa
Alien, I felt the same way about the Uruites in SL during the MOUL/GameTap era, and if MOUL hadn't shut down, I'd have never gone to SL. But, MOUL did shut down and I wanted to stay in touch with the community, but I didn't want to play another game, so SL was the only option for me. For several months, all I could talk about was wanting to go home to Uru. But, it was almost two years - 22 long months - before MOULa returned and by then the Uru Community in SL had become my home. I did come back to MOULa. I was there at the Ferry Landing to greet people the first night. Since then, I've created more than a dozen avatars, dropped thousands of pellets, helped newcomers, and attended many, many events. But, the friends I've made in this community over the years aren't there on a regular basis and without them, there's just not enough to keep me coming into the cavern on a regular basis, either.
So, please don't judge me until you've walked in my shoes.
In any case, you seemed to have missed the point I was making about the chat system in SL. If MOULa had a chat system like SL, I'd probably be logging in to the cavern every day to chat with people. My apologies if that wasn't clear.
Support for Uru comes in many forms. Some donate, but never log in. Some can't donate, but create events and things to do in the cavern. Some encourage others to do those things. Some carry on the legacy in other places and promote the game to new communities.
I'm still a member of this community and always will be whether I log in to Uru or SL or nowhere but these forums. And, it hurts to be told that my support for the community is negated just because I choose to spend time with the Uru Community in SL.
And, you wonder why I don't like to come into the cavern, anymore...
