I just want to clarify a few things since I neglected to provide any explanation for my absence, which apparently has left the situation open to speculation. This goes out to everyone and no one in particular.
A few months ago, I decided to quit ROSE for good (and I do intend to stay away for now, but I think I owe you all an explanation). Shortly thereafter, I also ceased work on all projects associated with ROSE, the most extensive of them being RRE. I did this for a number of reasons (the least not being certain problems in my personal life on which I am not planning to elaborate), mainly due to lack of any emotional or monetary benefit, two factors without which few actions can be justified. In other words, as long as I found ROSE to be an exciting and entertaining game, I could sort of justify to myself the fact that I was spending my own free time doing charity for Gravity (ie. a commercial company which can only profit from the continued development of RRE) since I found it enjoyable to further enhance the game I loved to play, both for me and for my fellow players. However, the last few months I started to realize I found the game very unappealing and repetitive (whether or not you can sympathize with my opinion is irrelevant because it is exactly that; an opinion), so as a last-ditch effort to justify the fact that I was spending tens of hours weekly on a computer application which I no longer found any pleasure in developing, I threw the donation button out there in hopes that I could convert my hobby project into some sort of heavily underpaid job. I did receive a few donations, and I immensely appreciate them, but I still end up making more in one day working minimum wage in my IRL job than I made during the two months I tried to justify the continued development of RRE with a donation button.
That said, I feel deep personal guilt at abandoning a project that so many people used and appreciated, especially after having asked for donations, but after nearly half a year of doing what was essentially free work which I did not even enjoy doing, I could no longer be at peace with myself, especially while in the middle of the aforementioned personal life conflict (it is also the main cause that I initially left no explanation for my disappearance, and I apologize for not having done so). I hope the concept of no emotional or monetary benefit, as explained above, makes sense to you, even if you do not agree with the way I handled the situation -- I'm not sure I do, either.
Thank you for your time,

Your message conveys the difficulty involved in your decision.
Knowing how popular your work became for the rose community didn't make things any easier.
RRE showed us the untapped potential of rose and I look forward to seeing developments that follow your lead.

Your message is clear and understandable. RRE has always been very nice to have as an add-on. I think most of the people here never realised how much work you put into it, I know I haven't.
Even though I doubt you are still checking this forum after clearing that up, I want to thank you for all the work you did and wish you good luck with your personal life!

I can honestly say your RRE made Rose a better experience for me and many others. Thats said, I can't blame you for needing to walk away and focus on other things. It is completely natural to move on; games or other entertainment sometimes run out of steam for us. No one can blame you for not being able to spend hours every week on something indefinitely without compensation. I would have donated myself but I was jobless at the time.
Good luck in your life and come back to visit once in a while!
Cheers,
Coffee

Please make one update so we can ignore those spammersHey everyone,
