A farewell

[Gizmo]

I've known a lot of you for many many years. Since I was a 16 yr old in 11th grade that was the most annoying person on the game. I'd like to think that i've come a long way since then. But some people still hold grudges. Over months and years. Came back after not playing for about 6-7 months and had a nice little run for 2 weeks. Nothing has changed tho. Same old stuff still goes on. This game has always been about who you know. I have been black balled on alts because people find out that i'm Gizmo on them. Because they are still living 10 years in the past. I've been told just make new alts and don't tell anyone its you. I've done that. I get kinda far and then out of no where get blackballed again. I'm over it tho. It's not fun being told that I'll never be able to clan a troll. No fun being ignored by people on chats/narrates when asking for help or other things. I enjoy playing this game but not when people can attack and kill me afk and yet I still turn out to be the bad guy somehow.

Most of us have families and jobs now and can't play as much as we used to. That's where i've been the past 6 months. I finally found time to play again and just get met with the same thing over and over. So I think i'll just go back to doing other things in my spare time. I don't have much but i'll be giving away what little things I do have. It's a hell of a ride the past 12 years. Ups and downs. I just want to say thanks to those of you who looked past the younger me and didn't hold things against me for how I used to be. I've tried to ignore and just keep playing but after being killed 3 times by own side for nothing today i'm done. We've all done stupid things on this game before. You can even say I brought it on myself if you'd like. But i'm completely different then how I was 7-8 years ago when I was declanned for defending myself and killing Arak in akkad. That moment started the whole downward spiral.

I wish you all the best in life. All of you. Enjoy spending time with your families and try not to let things that happened in the past rule your mind in the future. Take care all.

Never like to see a player leave. I hope some time off gives you perspective and maybe you come back. You were one of like 2 rogues that gave interesting and sometimes fun pk. Best of luck in all your endeavors.

Hi friend Gizmo. I shall await your return where we can be annoying together and walk the fields of Valhalla.

[Nognahoj]

Just make a new char and not tell anyone.. woo!

Keith,
Sad to see you go. Enjoyed playing with you. Life's too short and this game is too unimportant to hold grudges.

Have fun with whatever you find to occupy your free time.

Damn you, now who am I going to talk trash to?!

[Firimei Lang]

I hear you my friend. We can chat on fb etc. You were always cool. Some folks are this as more than a game, that addled with Chinese whispers .

Best make a new alt and tell only those you trust a lot.
I know sometimes this game gets to us depending on our state of mind and external factors.
Most folks move on, but others do live in the past a lot.

Don't go..there are folks here who consider you a friend and sincere..

[Razhak]

You will be back. See you then

[Shzrei]

I can't firetrucking stand how this kind of thing occurs.

You were fun then and you are fun now.

See you in a few years Giz
