Well, I never really set out to make friends here on BW, I enjoyed being opinionated and rather silly.

Not posting for "Goodbye m8 i lub joo" replies but in the hope that this post will strike a few people close to home and make them realise how shitty over indulgence can be.

I was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach a few months back and Pancreatic(sp?) cancer around 3 days ago. At the ripe old age of 18 you can imagine the effect it had on me. I find myself looking back on the past few years and thinking, "wtf?"

What I'm trying to say is that DAoC is only a game, many people destroy their lives because they can't tear themselves away from the computer screen for a few hours a day to go outside, meet some friends or even just go for a stroll. I've seen people do it for the past 2 years I've played DAoC and at the time of writing, I know many more who are doing the same.

I find myself sitting here, unsure whether I'll be alive this time next year and regretting EVERY single fucking moment I've spent sat in my computer chair having "fun". For most people I know that play now, "fun" = "addiction", they're just in denial.

So yea, I'm gone. I feel I must make an apology to all I've unfairly berated, belittled or just generally been an absolute retard to in the past. Life's too short to hold grudges.

If a game's not fun, don't play it. It's really not worth it.

Cya around. :>

Scott, AKA Dook.

Thanks for playing with us, I hope you will make it through all of this and get healthy again, good luck :)

Only person on my ignore list...
Still I somehow managed to open this thread of yours...

I know I'll be kneehigh in shit (dunno if there's an expression like this in english) if I said something bad here - but it's just a game, so I won't say anything...

Even though you acted like a prick in these forums before, this ain't fair...
Please ask Mythic to fix this bad disease in next patch :(

Kind of sends shivers down my spine......

Enjoy RL mate, and keep up the good spirit.
Don't let 'them' get to you. And if they do, don't regret anything. It doesnt change a thing.

Take Care mate

Fek :( Seriously Dook all the best bud, I truly hope everything works out ok for you. It may be small comfort but my brother is doing his Phd at Dundee, they are doing cancer research into the p53 gene. I had a quick word with him this morning and he said there are new therapys and treatments in the works from US researchers, plus there are some recent ones that are more effective than the traditional treatments. Keep safe and God bless.

never heard any1 say it better than that dook.

i dont think many people realise wot a game like this does to people. altho it is fun, u have to stop and think, sitting at the cpu for hrs on end playing a game cant be good for any1.

ive always said RL comes first, for alot of people daoc is there way of life , another world they live in and get drawn into, and rl actually becomes further and further away. i play still , but i dont feel i HAVE to log on just to get a quick hit of it anymore. for the much part of last year that was wot my life was all about :( daoc is an addictive game without a shadow of a doubt. but it is a game nothing more.

for all the people who read dooks post, pls think about wot u wanna do in life, experience the real world, forfil your dreams and ambitions. some of u are thinkin wot a load of old crap , but i assure it probably aplies to 80 % of the daoc community, let alone the whole online scene.

all the best dook mate.

Well said.

You'll hate yourself when you think about all the useful things you could've done with those 100+ days played you had when you quit, even though you had fun...

Anyway, take care and you'll always be one of the most reasonable people I knew in this game. ;)
