Welcome back. I hope you can find some reasons to stick around. I only play Rising Star for fun. I am selling my Splinterlands assets as I just don't play it any more. I think that building a self-sustaining online game is hard and the price is not helping as acidyo says. I think some of the games could do more to encourage players to post and that could be partially automated, but then some people voted down that sort of content. We cannot really afford to drive people away.
I am back and planing to stay for longer. I think I needed to change my mindset about it.
The funny thing is that I am trying to sell my Rising Star assets and I am back to playing Splinterlands :)
