Very new player here, and my thoughts might be repetitive of some of those above but I'll throw in my two cents anyway.

What appealed to me about this game was honestly this part of the blurb:
TU SHANSHU is a community-based panfandom science fiction/fantasy RPG with occasional horror elements and an overarching metaplot.

I'm a plot person, to be honest. My interest in video games, books, anime, etc. is almost always influenced by the story - I'd play an old-school JRPG with horrible graphics and bad translation if the game's storyline appealed to me. And it's the same with RP. So I'll honestly be glad to see the metaplot reach its fulfillment here.

But a new chapter after the "final battle" would be nice, too, and maybe one that has a different feel than the current plot. Like, I dunno, the turtle actually lands somewhere, and people are like, "Oh wait, there's still land around here after all? Hurrah! COLONIZATION EXPLORATION TIME!"

All that said, I do understand how the game had slowed with the announcement of the endgame. It happened in the game I used to be in, and I loved that game. It was sad to see it fizzle, but at least some of us got to the "end" even if it really wasn't the same had it been played out with the rest of the player base. But thank you mods for reaching out to us players and letting our opinions count. ♥
