I sadly had to stop rp-ing out of Ming's Teahouse, since Jane barely logs in anymore and no waitress showing up either, there was no roleplay at all in the Teahouse. I stood there for hours, even outside the door, but the remote location failed to draw people to it.
I have tried hard to pull roleplay to the Teahouse, even trying to have events in it, but the lack of interest made me decide it was a lost battle.
This is definitely -not- the end of the Ling-Chi, although the cult was connected to the teahouse, the Ling-Chi doesn't depend on the shop. I will continue to rp the cult's way of dealing with the peasants in Dead End, but not specifically tied to one location anymore.
Thank you all for the awesome roleplay we had in the past months, it is time for a new beginning. Don't feel safe now, you aren't, maybe this situation has made the Ling-Chi even more unpredictable...
