Personally, I like neither tbh....
Like Hallow, Aether was my home for a very long time... it's where I started playing, but as of lately, I felt less welcome so I distanced myself from the community. Not going to lie, the community is great, I just have done too many bad things so now a lot of people dislike me and I don't see my friends much unless I talk to them on discord.
If anything, I think Oasis would be more my jam now- it's quiet like Atlas and I do enjoy it... even though it's quite lonely. I can't really stand the chaotic atmosphere of Aether anymore. It was wasn't too bad at the beginning, but now it's gotten worse and I just can't go on Aether. I know that someone is going to be yelling about some shit, and the staff team are trying to do their best!
I'm tired of people disrespecting the staff because they are amazing wonderful human beings and they deserve to be treated better. And yes! I know it's not just Aether, I know that all the communities have people who disrespect the staff, but that's beside the point. They aren't just staff, they're much more than that... they're my friends and my family. Hurt them? I'll make you regret it. I know several others would do the same for the people they care about here...
On a much lighter note.... I do come on Aether sometimes to afk my grinder.... but I don't really do much there anymore. I don't play Manacube as much either, I've started to lose interest. But I don't want to leave because of the amazing people I've met here. There are still several things I have to get done, I want to make my friends happy.. I want them to be proud of me.
Yeah, I don't know why I'm saying all this...
Edit: Now, I am starting to think maybe aether and prisons in general would be happier without me around.... but I need you guys to be honest with me.
