The time has finally come for me to hang up my polearm for the last time im afraid, its been 3 long years without 1 single respec or change of fighting style even but as stubborn as I am I have grown weary of the uphill struggle that is RvR.

I'd like to make it clear that unlike some I do not quit because of the state of Armsmen these days, the condition of the class has nothing to do with my decision, I do not and never have considered myself gimped and whilst I do think the class needs some serious love and attention I am quite happy with my character and his performance even after the mockery that is ToA. As I have proven more then enough times in the past I can hold my own one on one against anything that fate throws my way, no the reasons I quit are numerous but to cut a long story short its the state of the game in general that I am weary off. I am tired of spending hours and hours of my life searching for a few brief seconds of fun in RvR, knowing full well that there is nothing but more frustration and stupidity coming with every single patch note and expansion. That is simply not fun and i'd rather spend my time playing a game I might actually be able to enjoy a year from now. The only things I enjoy these days is the odd duels with people I consider to be my 'respected enemies', who hunt the same areas I do, and its those fights with the like minded people that have kept me pushing myself to get better throughout these years, and for that im grateful, you know who you are so I wont name you all.

I did have a long speach planned but I can't really be arsed to type it now to be honest. Some feel the same, some don't, you don't need me to tell you what a fuck up Mythic are making of RvR and daoc in general. I have been away from the game a few weeks now, I thought i'd miss it, I thought i'd regret it, I don't. I miss having a character of the highest competitive levels, but I don't miss the game, which says it all really. The only thing that has kept me going this long is my friends and the community, this was my first mmorpg and having played it for 3 years and been on Kagato around 200 days /played I don't think I could play any other kind of game again. Friend or foe its the community that keeps games like this alive and interesting, and for that and the past I am grateful to you all.

I have promised to still help some friends with their toa templates so its possible Kag may be spotted on the odd raid now and then, but I wont be stepping foot in the frontiers again, instead Kagato has been reborn in Lineage 2 for now.

I hope to cross paths or swords with some of you again in the future in some other games, but for now i'll be leaving these wars to other people. Its easy to forget when typing to a screen that its real people with real thoughts and feelings behind the other end of the computers.

I shall miss the community, I shall miss the people, I wont miss the game.

/salute

Oh no :(
I never got that last duel with you :cry:
You where one of the two enemies i always attack but knew from start that i 99% sure loose the fight.
I havent seen you that much do last months, i stoped going hw and i think its there you been?

But writing all this i do not think you will like Lineage 2. It looks ok and maybe the game is fun when you finish lvling, BUT you will notice that the best way to lvl is the old shoot run shoot run shoot run. And the aggro code of the mobs is weird.

I would recommend you to come back in 2-3 weeks when we get NF. in NF there is special areas that probably going to be more or less solo areas. the ruin cities for example, there is no reason for anyone that is looking for massive rps to go there.

Good luck Kagato :)


hope you should change your mind when you grow tired of Lineage 2 and think -- HEY daoc wasnt that bad and return.

would love to duo with your again, i have had some fun moments with you in Odins, and who knows you might return :)

well anyway this way my 5 cents, im sad to see you go Kagato i think we shared and liked the same time of rvr (small scale action - solo, duo in good ol' Odins ^^ )

and i do hope we can take a spin or 2 before you leave for real either in Hw or Odins maybe even get a little duel tournament for good old times sake.

Albion has lost a very Good Player. 1 of the few in the game that knows his class.

Best of luck IRL
