LOL!! those poor patrons of Atlas, waiting on a bus that never would come...
I have a quote saved in my patented document of "Awesome things other people have said" from Muirmir on the official forums, taken from someone's signature, that is pretty much my feelings on the matter:
"Sometime after you've brought your "friends" back to this plane of existence by infusing them with the soul of a bus stop... in a city that has no buses... you become hardened to the whole thing."
But none the less, the city did indeed feel alive despite that one glaring curiosity. Pedestrians wandered around chatting, bits of litter blew around, there were payphones scattered about the area at reasonable intervals, and there were dead-end alleyways that were there for no reason at all aside from poor structural planning by a city council, haha. And that's just Atlas Park that I'm thinking about! I miss it dearly, but I have faith in S.C.O.R.E., and I know that eventually we'll have our own community-run city to return to. I keep the faith, even if the wait is excruciating. I played for the whole run myself, and something that was a part of my life for so long... well I could never truly let it go.
