Graphic-wise and community-wise this game is perfect for me, playing-wise...not so much. I'm a loner at heart, I have an indisputable knack for painting myself into a corner (not joining a guild, not killing anything that doesn't attack first) and I enjoy <gasp>soloing</gasp>. But that's me being at fault there, not the game...just making small-talk while stalling a bit because, honestly, I'm rather regretting that I'm writing this. It's hard, you know, leaving something that's been keeping me busy and happy for over a year. Even if it is only for a break. Yes, I'm silly, yes, I'm a little ridiculous.
Even though my RP-choices made for a terribly slow progress and sometimes agonizing game-play (again, because of my choices, I'm not bashing the game in any way), there are a few people that just by existing has made me stick to what I know:
Jamela
Teddy
Drakfot
Vivy
Lwiz
Baztorian
Nila
/tar everyone
/grouphug
Some of you have stopped playing or play very infrequently, but you made my day by just being online. Oh, and a quick fondle Teddy's way, wherever you are.
There were actually two others names on that list, but my respect for those people flew out the window when they actually gloated over the fact that grimjim got suspended. Gloating makes my knuckles itch. Oh, and please refrain from making this into another Boo-Hiss-You're-Wrong-I'm-Right-thread, kthx.
Aaanyhews, I never thought a game could take up so much time, and when I first tried it out in Beta I really didn't think I would like it. Contradictory to my first experience, there have been lots of sleepless nights (but that's mostly due to me being in the clutches of Mr Insomnia) and lots of twitchy hours when the servers have been down for patching. Which is another reason for distancing myself: My addictive nature.
So...a big thank you to: Nillian, Echo, Delphi, Sxarlet, Rushin and the TW, Exisstenz, Razz, Blondy, Neun, Jyudas, Kostika, Frydeswinde, Karm, Spriteh, Mioette, Meena, meh I'll make it easy and say all of the Samsara. Yes, I'm thanking a few people I haven't even talked to in-game. Why? Easy, you make the game what it is.
And, of course, a big bone-crushing hug to the CSR's, the devs and all you other sweet homins out there for making this a great experience.
I'll give this break about 2 months, and if I still feel the way I do, if I still trudge around in old footsteps, I'll cancel my sub (which is why I'm writing this as a Goodbye Post instead of a Taking A Break-post. Although, it'll probably turn out to be a Oh-My-God-I-Can't-Believe-I-Wrote-That-post in about 30 minutes). Knowing me, and my infamous addictive nature, I'll probably be crying about this in a week or so.
You should've seen me when I tried to quit cold turkey with my sugar-addiction...man, I was a mess.
Meh, I'll quit stalling now. Goodbye, or goodbye for now. Whichever it gets to be in the end.
Oh oh oh! Before I forget: I can be reached by either e-mail, msn messenger (just send a private message here and we'll sort it out if I really really like you) and, well as I said, private messages considering I haven't cancelled my subscription.
Thank you for listening.
Much love,
Anna.
P.S And please, if I in any way have said something that makes this thread a good target for locking, could you please send me a pm and tell me what to change? Because I really want to keep this open.
