Well, hello everyone! It's great to see you all here. JBK, Snakeeyes, Pila, I'm overjoyed and surprised to see you all still around. Madseend, I am overjoyed, but not surprised--you'll die hard, and among the last of all.
Is there some sort of chatroom that people can log into when they're on AW? That way anyone who doesn't have anyone else on FL can have a chance to meet up, etc. Obviously it's a very small circle of people now, so I may well be the only one who doesn't have everyone active on FL... But if there is such a system, please let me know. I've been popping in and out of AW once or twice a day for about a week now. I've only caught one person on, and that while I was logging out, so I'd look forward to seeing anyone else.
And, who knows--maybe you guys can get a screenshot of me dead in a PVP zone while I'm still "naked", lol.

Hi, Fifth. Good to see you, as always. I think seeing your post "and so the miracle begins" was the reason I logged in at all again. You are truly unique. And, thanks for the hilarious song... I had never heard it before. Normally I would have needed something like that to calm down a bit, but logging into a dead AW already gives me a dull heartache. The loss of an incredulous number of SNIs don't really compound much on that. So, I can't get anxious over the loss of SNIs, I'm already heartbroken over the loss of the entire game.
(That, and the fact that I'm on so many antidepressants now, I'm a veritable zen master.)
Looking at my PNote wallet gave me something of a shock.
Snowy, wow, amazed to see you still around. Hello again. Thanks for the idea--I didn't know there was such a terminal. (Also encountered a TT on my way there, that was interesting. Glad they listened. Kind of. Eventually.) The Missing Items Terminal was just brilliantly off-the-wall enough to be the right answer... But not in this case. I did, however, find an extraordinary number of charged batteries. Perhaps the "missing items" terminal is the place where single socks, fully charged batteries, and pens go when they are lost? I have always wondered what that sector of the universe looked like. Now I know.
Typing on this forum makes me nauseous. There was a reason I avoided coming back for so many years.

So, just came back to the game for a brief look around...
*crickets*
and other than the lack of any discernible player body,
*more crickets*
I had an interesting realization.
Where are all my SNIs?
I am aware SNIs are, depending on which post you read, either going to be untradeable, or no longer creatable. OK. I can handle that. But I had about three high-level avatars worth of SNIs, maybe four, sitting in storage boxes in my Inventory. They are no longer there.
"Maybe you tripped, slipped, and inserted them without noticing?"
No. First of all, chipping them in with the time delay would have made for at least a six hour process (estimating the number of chips by how many storage boxes I had full of them). Second, I'd be well over level 65 in a lot of stuff, and I'm not. Third, I'd be horrifyingly skilled in the refining skills, which I am absolutely not.
"Maybe h4xx0rs/fiends/grumpkins got them?"
Eh, no. Still plenty of valuable stuff on the account, including AWD, weapons and HKs that haven't been available for a decade or were unique, the best armour in the game, etc. There's still... Well, everything, really. But not the SNIs.
"Maybe they're hiding?"
Do you have any idea how many chips that was? If Storage units weren't some kind of wormhole into D&D saddlebag-space, and those storage crates were the size of an average cardboard box, I would need a fleet of U-Hauls to move them from one part of my storage to another.
"Maybe you are stupid/crazy, or having a psychotic episode/manic mood swing?"
I am on meds now, much to the joy of everyone forced to be around me for extended periods of time. But I doubt this would affect where my SNIs are now. Either way, no, I don't think this is one of those cases.
Any ideas? Considering that it's the difference between being skill level "oh, cool, he's still the most skilled guy in the game," and "wait, that's a number?" I'd like to figure it out.
Second of all...What's the story with SAU? Obviously if they changed the SNI system, SAU no longer factors in... So what did they replace it with? If nothing, what do people do with blocked skills? I had many tens of millions of SAU--I have unblocked skills I hadn't unblocked because I wasn't using them and wanted to save, and enough to account for the skill levels I'd be increasing once I chipped all in.
*EDIT* It occurred to me to look for remnants of SNIs, rather than the SNIs themselves. Under my SNI-tab there are dozens of empty boxes where they should not have been empty. They should have SNIs. They did have SNIs. They no longer do. So, there are definitely many, many hundreds of SNIs that are not in my storage.
What is going on?
