I'm subscribed for a few more months (my sub. expires June 11th), but I've decided to call it quits.
It wasn't an easy decision, after all MxO has been in my life much longer than many things, and you all feel like family.
I always thought I'd be here 'till MxO went offline, but extensive boredom has set in. I didn't even log in for the winter event? (is it still going? I have no idea).
Thanks to the devs and staff for their hard work.
Thanks to the players that gave the extra effort that really made MxO worth playing.
There is no more "epic" story. Frankly the story was the reason I started playing and the reason I stayed so long.
But when there are 3 players online whenever I play (I long ago lost count of the number of /who commands that returned only me) and it has been well over a year since I saw an official character.
I established my RSI's look years ago and have no desire for pvp as there is very little skill to it... more of a who has the best stuff wins situation. So I've invested in a number of FPS type games for my 360 (and PC) and all of a sudden gaming is fun rather than a chore again.
My 360 gamertag is "phi AU" if you want to catch up with me...
I had a good run and got to try my hand at pretty much everything: co-founded a faction, run a faction site, worked my way up to ship captain, spoke to most major characters, saw beta, was a mod (I never said I was a good one
), submitted fan art, DJed for a station, saw pretty close to 100% of static game content, wrote some fanfic, earnt free play time by pwning tech help, caused and participated in my fair share of recursion drama, etc... I don't feel hard done by, it's just time for a change.
Most of all I'll miss the day-to-day on these forums.
I may come back in the future if something worthwhile happens... but I doubt it. (MxO is pretty much in "just keep it running" mode now... and has been for a while).
Thanks for everything guys and gals. It's been a heck of a ride.
Special thanks to The Kings of Never, Fallen Horizon, Nicks, Network Imperium, Phluff, MCDOE, Furious Angels, Jurymen and Rarebit.
No Roukan, you can't have my stuff.
