Whelp, that's me leaving then.
« on: September 04, 2013, 07:47:53 AM »

I never actually expected this time to come around (and certainly not for me, but alas, here it is.

Simply and shortly put, i'm leaving this community. As for the reasons why, well, it got... Docile? Boring? Lifeless? Honestly, i can't answer that, but it just doesn't have the same amount of attraction it used to have before, to me, and that's... Why i am leaving.


So yeah. Goodbye, aufweidershen, and all that. It's been a fun ride, but this is the end station for me.

Well, would you rather have "The longest and most destructive party ever"?

Because we might start one. It would be bad if you missed it. So you should check the forums from time to time, just in case.

Interesting proposal, but i'll have to skip on it. As tempting as it sounds, this leave is of a rather permanent nature.

Most get cancelled, future ones included. I'll hand control of caelus to someone else most likely, or cancel that alltogether too.

Well, we are all sorry to see you go.

Personally I think things are going to pick up dramatically when .6 comes out, but we'll see. Until then, cheers.

So you're not going to visit the forums ever again or even play the game when it's finished? Or are you just saying you're underground until this gets more exciting and not spending your time on mods anymore? I seriously don't get why you think you need to leave forever.

You know, you can stay part of the community without spending a great deal of time here. If you spent less time here, the things that do happen on the forum feel much more condensed and interesting. Any which way, good luck.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Thanks for the replies. Regarding why i want to leave forever.... I just don't want to stay around here. Don't get me wrong, i'll play the game and i'll like it, do some hardcore modding into it later, but i just don't want to stay around in here. Nothing wrong with you guys though, really.


So, yeah, jist packing my bags right now. Gonna be missing y'all, but atleast steam exists ;)

Okay. But like Gothars said you don't have to spend all your time here to be a part of the community. I used to do crappy stories and actually make suggestions and such but now I just read the blog posts.

Well, this is weird, saying goodbye like that.
Are you a wanted figure and do you need to leave the country? Or are you depressed? *scratches head* ???
Saying 'See y'all later' is understandable, but you're posting that you're leaving without a good reason and in my opinion you seem very cryptic about it.

Well, I hope it's nothing bad. May it fare you well.

True, and TBH, there has to be something wrong with us, because you left the skype chat as well saying you couldn't "take it anymore", have we done something? (don't discuss it here) Me myself i'm here like, once a week or 2, i've had the game and played it too much for too long to enjoy it as much as you do when you first get a game, the curse of being a tester since 0.0, you get tired of them eventually, its the way it is, doesn't mean you have to leave completely, cut everybody off and just cancel all your mods?

Anyway, see you around, because i know you, and you will be back. ;D

(I left the skype chat for totally different reasons; please don't bring that up here)


As for the forums, a mix of me not wanting to be here (just naturally being bored and kinda burning myself out), having less and less time due to college, and simply being.... Well bored, i decided to not post here anymore. I might return at a few points in time, but don't hope for it. I will though, keep playing the game. :)
