It's time to say goodbye...

Mikan · 08-14-2009, 08:27 AM

Dear friends and enemies,

In the recent months, I have had less and less time for Regnum, which has been made even worse by the continually declining state of the game, making me often question whether it is worth it to even log in. The only reasons I have kept doing so was because of the friends I had made here, especially my beloved clanmembers.

But, as my main class (Barbarian) has been turned to crap, my second main class (Hunter) is constantly being scrutinized as well as the threat of yet another impending nerf (on top of a thousand already...), and my third main class (Conjuror) is bordering on useless due to the nerfs that no one ever asked for or understood, I have lost all faith in this game.

I had already left the forums several weeks ago, and at first, I planned only to move to Horus (Ignis) and sever my ties with the rapidly dying English community on Ra - a situation that many have suffered from. But I discovered that even with the new Initiation Zone, levelling was as painful and depressing as ever, and the overall state of Ignis still has not been improved since beta. There are still no quests, or mobs, or anything.

The worst of this is that we are practically forced to pay for this broken game. Those who aren't able to buy premium must face drawn out, often depressing scenarios like spending months just to get to Level 50 on a single character, in a RvR and PvP oriented game.

The overarching problem is: This is true about everything in the game. Some people see improvement, and others only see disappointment. And unfortunately, I seem to belong to the latter group, and it's been proven that in cases like these, NGD's best wishes are for us to leave entirely. And some players would love to see me go as well.

So that's it for now. I might return some day, just like I always have. But if I know what's best for me. - I won't. Staying with the game is a drain on those who saw so much potential in it and can't let go of that stubborn dream. It was not game addiction, it was hope for something wonderful. But it's time to let it go.

I can't honestly say I gained anything from Regnum other than some fond memories, and I probably won't even be remembered for much more than my bitching. It's a dog's death for literally years of hard work - but that's exactly what I've come to expect from the game I once loved.

Goodbye.

To Dky, Znurre, Dracus, Fluffy, Kael, Milk, Nessa, Refe, Matt, Red, Valour and many others:
“A year, ten years from now, I'll remember this; not why, only that we were here like this, together.”

And so Regnum again loses one of it's best players. It's very sad to see you go, but you've made up your mind, and I wont try to persuade you otherwise.

I hope you'll stick around on irc.

DkySven · 08-14-2009, 09:44 AM

I'm very sad to see you go.

Pizdzius · 08-14-2009, 10:31 AM

Have fun in real life \o/ you'll be missed

Snoid · 08-14-2009, 11:09 AM

Nessa, true elite. Sad to see you go.

Dont let anyone posses you characters. They dont deserve it.

Mellion · 08-14-2009, 11:13 AM

Nothing more to add. The last 12 months gave us all only drawbacks in this game

TheMessenger · 08-14-2009, 12:15 PM

so much for so many ppl hating you

I dont know you and I dont think that I have fought/played with you before but I agree with everything you said that I have been through. There are no quests, grinding is...shit to say the least. Grinding to 50 takes months if not more than a year for people without scrolls. And from what I have heard every class but the lock has been severly nerfed which sucks because I would have loved to see my knight be able to block/tank better.

Anyway goodbye (for now at least) and gl in rl

Znurre · 08-14-2009, 12:42 PM

I understand your reasons.
You'll be missed.

I am sure you'll enjoy whatever you'll do now, more than playing Regnum.
Good luck!

Your post pretty much mirrors the way I have been feeling about Regnum lately. Best of luck to you in IRL and future endeavours.

sad to see another oldie go :/, take care mikan, it was nice having you, if you should return it'll be nice to say welcome back! but real life can take away your gaming times as it should so I guess if you only have the will again and the time we'll see you (maybe).

Best of luck to you
