First, I have quit the Diviner's. Most people must be wondering, why would I quit the Diviner's when I had a long time position as a respected Guide. To answer that, I never really realized just how much people are taking from the game into real life until recently when my students started telling me they were fortune telling in real life and learning taoism in real life because of the exposure to it in Diviner training.
This makes me feel like, as a Christian, I am going against my faith by teaching others a real life religion other than mine. As long as it stayed a game, I had no trouble, but somehow it has become real life for too many people.
Also, it feels as tho the slant has changed from teachers and councilors to a mystical religious slant. There are even required weekly classes in Taoism now. I do not approve.

Hmm.. its been a long time since I updated this website. Yes I still exist and play the game. I don't get there as often as I would like because I am working a lot of long hours. Diviners have changed a lot since the note above was posted and are a lot better now. I still can't re-join them, however, because I won't as a christian even take a chance playing a fortunteller. After all that is why King Saul's entire family line was cut off and replaced with David's family line, fortunetelling...
My clan, Sunmoon is still the best clan in the game. They are very patient and kind to all the other clannies. Even though I dont get there enough for the proper participation I would like to give they still keep me on. I hope things change soon so that I can get back into true clan participation. Kudo's to Sunmoon, the best of the best.
