Well folks, this is it.
I know albion is short of Sorcerors and what-not as it is but I don't really enjoy RvR very much anymore. The fun of the game was grouping and XPing and exploring: 20-35 was when I enjoyed the game most, now it`s a bit boaring. RvR is sluggish and jerky, casters die far too easily and it's just zergs and keep-taking.

So, in the fasion of Teador I`m going to deleet my albion character and move to Hibernia. Pannic not though, I`ll probably get to level 17 and then realise the game is actually more boaring than I realised and stop playing all together.

Spread the word to people who don't read these forums very often please.

Great people, shady game. Thank you all for the fun I've had

<waves>

Very sad to yet see another established Albion char depart for pastures greener.
But I can understand why bud.
Since the arrival of DF and RA`s the game has changed dramatically, for better or worse is down to the individual.
A typical scenario when I log on:- travel to lyon to join a tree group,these seemed to have diminished rapidly since the auto stopped,soz m8 group full ,you are on list ok.
I solo telamons to keep busy,in the long D/T I do a /who pennines
lynn barfog/datmoor (jeez are these places closed till further notice) "no matches" is the reply.
Soz m8 group disbanding ,I do another looking for group,nothing.
What now I think? I know, i`ll go to emain see if I can get some rp`s, or join a keeptaking team.
As I pass through amg a SB appears,he gets 1st hit, I return the favour its all pretty 50 - 50 ish ,his/hers health bar drops rapidly since the crit hits ,you`re mine I think prematurely as the IP kicks in.
Maxgirth was killed by(anyone who has IP, as GoA have made impossible yet another aspect of this game which made it fun,and that was a chance to get great rp`s for soloing lev 50`s in rvr)
"Where" says the pm "amg" my reply.
Minutes later im in a keeptaking team,on way to DC we encounter a zerg hib force,aoe mezz all dead.
Regroup at PK ,this time more albs ,go to DC all quiet, take it .
Great, we now have access,some return to DF,we now have 1 full group.
On way to nightmares we try a shredder pull, mezz fails all die, I have now lost the little xp I got earlier.
Some leave group,we try to regroup at merchants, but as peeps are on way, we lose access.
"NN all " I say, as I ponder yet another wasted day, thinking we are going the same way as the USA servers

Oh well, GoA say they can't fix sat


Probably for the best in the long run I suppose....

Thanks all, for one, final, time.

They must be able to,i will see i if can help and i suggest others try too with me.

 

[Saturnine]

Here's the catch...

Step1: I gave all my items to the guild.
Step2: I used my final re-spec to buy amusing RA's, just to see them.
Step3: I Deleeted Sat (on the round table, for full effect ).
Step4: I went to hib for a couple of hours.
Step5: I came back to albion, with a "new" saturnine for a bit.
Step6: I deleeted all characters on all servers.

Now.. When they "fixed" sat they brought her back at the "step5" version, when I enquired, they said the "step1" or pre"step2" (I asked for) or even "step2" itself, versions were not backed up.

sorry guys

I`ll miss you

 

[old.mattshanes]

Make another character with the same name maybe, it doesnt take long to level maybe be a wizard or whatever i mean my merc is lv40 in 8 days so it doesnt take long now you know albion and where to lv there.

 

[oldnick]

Like i said step 1 isnt a problem ..all your stuff still exists where you left it.

Remake your character, we will help you reach 46 easy.

Just your RPs will be missing

[Saturnine]

Guys I'm not starting again
I'd explode !

I`ve even unistalled the game to avoid temptation.

I owe Jaas some stuff so get in touch with him about what bits he wants, keep the rest for the guild.


A final (final) farewell

Your probably sick to death of me by now
But quite a lot of folk were asking where on earth I got my name from.
Well, there are two answers...
For one - Grab a dictionary
For the other, jump onto Kazza or wherever you get your MP3`s from and grab a song called "Here's to the Atom Bomb" by the Smashing Pumpkins (Machina II version) - which has lyrics something like this..

clung to the sweater from the day you were born
never knew better, that's what you swore
mother hugged you cause the walls were thin
in saturnine sweetness and ratio
no boy could spell you out
in the grass at night
beneath the stars
you grew right past the streets where you were raised
sneaking out early to a secret place
like a hole in the wall
like a hole in the wall
into the bed you hang your sleep
watch your man as he sinks beneath
you cut out his heart and watch him die
so we can know you and that you're alive
as the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall
noone can know your soul
kisses and noise
now you belong to them all
awake to the dawn and scratch your eyes
light the prayer candles that you remind to
send you a boy that you could waste
a little piece of heaven to set you straight
through the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall
noone could tell you why
the tape's full of hiss
and sons who cry
to the night of the dead and the wishing ghost
beating on you to drain morose
through the hole in the wall
we are the holes in the wall
we are the [cut off vocals]

There is also a song called Saturnine by the same band, and another by a group called the Gathering (both equally approptiate )

(P.S. - I don't want to start a musical debate here or anything, just saving myself from being asked anymore )

Man you crazy saturnine!! (

Hib is boring as hell!! Studying the growth of Moss is more interesting that HIB, i spent a while there on excal and it was just sooooo boring as are most of the classes!

Will be sad to see ya go, i remember the days in Lost souls when me you Yumms and Aarnie would xp away in plains and keltoi etc We had alot of laughs, like when we used to kill those damn frogs behind broken bridge in plains Such a big loss that a good fellow scottish git is leaving especially one that used to hate liberty X just like me

As for Souls buffer, she is called Disincarnate Soz Soul bro, not good at keeping secrets lol.

Boring? ) You sure about this mate? , Hib classes are fun as the others and there are non-human chars that makes the game even more exciting.
Btw you guys gonna run out of sorcerors soon, i only see Amirder now days. Pity everyone knows his name and he is the first on the "must be dead in matter of seconds" list.

 

[Turamber]

Amirder is probably the most active sorcerer in RvR, but there are quite a number of other sorcerers. A couple of new ones dinged 50 this week ... so here's to hoping we see more of them mezzing you naughty Hibbies soon
