As Activity Check comes to a close and we only have three characters checking in, as well as the lack of interest in the last few events and mod posts, I'm afraid the fate of the game is pretty clear.
I'd first like to start by thanking everyone so, so much for joining Holy Relic and helping it last as long as it did! We had hoped with the new surge in canon-based games, a re-opening would be more popular and it'd be more appealing on its second run, but unfortunately with the rate new games are coming out, there's no time for them to really stabilize and build up a solid playerbase or get much recognition, even with aggressive advertising. It had a good year's run back on LJ but it just wasn't a popular premise and had little interest, and we're afraid it was much the same again.
We mods are also at fault, of course, and we do recognize that and apologize for lacking the time necessary to dedicate to the game. On the same hand however, there isn't much that could have been done without that spark of interest and keeping some traffic coming in with reserves and applications. :(
The game will be closing this month (most likely within the week, as we've had no mod helper offers or feedback to improve the game), but if you'd like some IC/OOC closure we'd be more than willing to organize a little meet-up where characters can be thanked for their time in Holy Relic's beta phase and be told they're getting sent home, so they can talk to the friends they've made one last time and leave through the Chaos Gate. If you'd like to take the chance for a final dungeon fling or anything, characters will have 24 hours ICly and you're free to toss up logs or action spam posts and take your time.
This is the only time characters will be allowed to enter the Chaos Gate without entering keywords - if the popup on the Relic has all three area words blank, characters will simply go home, but it still functions regularly and area words can be selected.
Thank you again for all your time spent with us, and we hope you've made some great friends along the way and enjoyed yourselves!
