Regnum online is no longer part of my life.

[bigjim]

Hi all,

I have been playing this game for almost two years now. I have seen the game grow in many regards, and I have seen the game fall in many ways; some of which is only natural for a new growing company.

The reason I am leaving the game is partly due to the fact that the new update really discouraged me from leveling my hunter which was leveling really fast till lvl 41. I thank Vahalla, and everyone that I met in Alsius. Everyone I met there was helpful, and nice. I made a lot of friends in the short time I was playing there again. If people saw me some in Syrtis; it was because I knew about the new update and that I do not have the time to level with the new fatigue system. I am taking two summer classes, and am working full time now which leaves me no time for this game anymore. Some may remember the team me and Slim(lvl 50 marksmen) were, and it was so fun then. We leveled several different characters, we learned the game together, we taught ourselves setups, we grew together and excelled. After Slim quit the game it was no longer the same game that it once was to me. It was like a part of me was gone, and there was no getting it back. For many months Paige and I were playing the game, and I was not taking the game seriously. Hell, I didn't even give two shits about the game then. For me it was someone who I became very close with, someone that I learned a lot from. So, in all honesty, I have not played the game to my full potential in quite some time. My desire to play the game is not as it once was, and if you know me I used to be obsessed and played for hours and hours a day. I almost have 5 lvl 50's, a lvl 40 Ignis warlock, and my Alsius hunter. If you add up all that leveling time it begins to take a toll of the funess of the game. I also had almost 2 lvl 50's in beta, so I have been around a long long time. I am under a lot of stress in my life, and it is really taking a toll on me. The game used to be my life, my heart, my desire, and now it is nothing to me. I am not the same person that once played this game. I remember great times in this game, and it allowed me to meet one of the most wonderful people that I still care for so deeply that I would still do anything for that person. See, what Regnum is about is relationships. Forget the balance changes, the constant changes, the lag, the crashes, what makes this game what it is obviously is the community. The community in this game is what kept me going for so long. So many great and fun people play this game, and they will never know how much they helped me through very hard times in my life. Thank you Paige, Luthi, Getulio, Helena, K-lel, Night twix, Superdaveninja, Kim, and many many others that I don't have the time to mention, but you know who you all are. I have had many great challenges, and battles in this game, and it was to the point at one time that this game ruled my life. I excluded friends, family, and a job at one point because I was so involved with this game. It's that good! I know that is not healty and Policia Montoya(a developer) told me this near Samal in beta. I didn't believe his words, but before I realized over a year of my life had gone by and I didn't know how. I am sorry if I am rambling, but I have a lot of memories and emotions tied up in this game. This game really changed my life, and it is one that I will never forget. If I could give NGD all the money in the world I would because it allowed me to meet someone that I still hold so dear to my heart. I admit I fell for someone on this game, and it really changed me. She really taught me what was important in life, and taught me what a wash room was!(Us Americans are kind of slow sometimes) So, there are many aspects on why I am leaving this game, but if people read this thoroughly they can probably tell whats really on my mind.

Now I will give some advice to everyone, and take it how you read it because it is yours to do what you want with it. Remember that this is a game, and you the player are going to make the experience. If you are looking for an escape from reality, looking for self esteem or respect, looking for friends, looking for love this game has it all! So if players want to stand around and chat that is fine because this is what they want to do. Not everyone wants to spend 16 hours a day hunting, and the bit. Also, don't take this game too seriously because there is a whole world out there and you don't want to miss it. I know I had the same problem Just remember enjoy the moment in this game because you never know when it may change on a whim. I will miss so many people, and aspects of this game. This game can make you feel like a super hero, and on top of the world. In a sense a badass, and that is something that I really liked at one time.

To NGD, you guys are a great bunch. Surak is a lunatic I know that much. I bitched and complained at balance changes, and went on and on about the hunter passive speed being lowered at one time. Thank God that was changed again.... Keep up the good work, and don't let negative people keep you down. You are doing great and doing the best you can. Remember though that in my absence mobility needs to be raised to 35% like it was in beta. If you guys raise that back up you may see me back XD seriously, good luck and god bless

But to all, it is my time to go. My heart is saddened for months now, and I just can't play anymore with the same enthusiasm that I once had. I am searching life now for new things, but everyday my heart returns once again to things in which are related to this game. I don't know maybe I need some time or help or both, LOL, but I may be back one day. Let me get my life together, and then I will decide on my decision on Regnum Online.

bye all,

Refetan, R E F E T A N, Slim Jim, Ahprodite, Achilles, and Big Gun.

you will all be missed
