Don’t know if I’ll be playing it in another seven years, but don’t feel any particular itch at the moment to stray.<\/p>\n

(As a personal trip down memory lane, this listing of alts I had in late February<\/a> is fun — two of them (Psi-clone and Torchielle) eventually dinged 50; one (Velvet) stalled in the low 30s; the rest got deleted at one point or another …)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
