It was never about making rays for me, although someone buying my work was a bonus. I sold layouts to pay the leases on the places that I built that were free to the public. I rarely advertised at all. My places sold from word of mouth.
I also am not leaving because of the issues with deco theft. Although the proof I have seen over and over in the forums killed my inspiration to build. The constant battles took the fun out of it for me.
My reasons for leaving are in the threads I posted about selling off my places. My favorite builds were not for sale, and without my departure, would still not be for sale. These were my greatest achievements in my opinion.
I sincerely hope the decos figure out a safer way to run their businesses in Utherverse, but it would not change my position at all. It is just time for me to turn the page in my life. I am going back to my first love, writing.
Oh and I like unicorns but not rainbows.
