Wow, nice to see a few people actually being nice.
For those of u saying im sad to have to sell my pc's to be able to give up mir, your right i am sad. Thing is though, what i was doing was worse than sad, i have an addictive personality, so something one person may find slightly addictive, i'll find highly addictive. It isn't my part, and i've now done my bit. We made a fair bit of monie from selling our 2 pc's (near 600£). I never used my pc for anything else other than mir, no other games were played on my pc's. If a mir3 server wasnt up, i would play a mir2 server. All that was on the 2 pc's was the mir3 client, the mir2 client and various things to do with getting mir to run, or something to do with mir. My life revolved around mir, It wasnt healthy, I rarely ate anything (at one point i was eating ONE meal every 2 or 3 days). If i ate it would be something simple, I called it mir food, Toast or a sandwhich - simple food which took no longer than 5mins to prepare and eat. I even got so bad that when i went back to USA mir, i would sleep for 4hours or so and have an alarm clock set for 10mins before the BoneLord respawned, i would login kill the BL and go back to bed for a few hours. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, and im sure theres plenty more people who are as bad or maybe even worse than me. This game is evil if taken to extreme's and for myself this was the case. Call me sad, call me anything u want but i know im now out of this god forsaken game fior good
Now then mr Saylarn, for your information one of the key factors in laura and myself getting rid of the computers was because laura has infact got herself a nice paying job, and it wasnt fair for me to spend my days playing mir when i could be looking after grace. Why is it always perceived to be the man who has to go out and earn the monies whilst the woman is stuck at home. We've switched it round and if im totally honest with you - i actually enjoy it. I get up at 7am with my daughter, we make breakfast have a cup of tea then get dressed, the rest of the day consists of going out feeding the ducks, going to the park and other similar things that untill recently i neglected to do. It pains me ever so much to look back and think i never done these things with my daughter - it wasnt fair on her and for the 12months or so i've missed of her growing up i feel rotten, but i intend on making it up to her.
As for you saying i've made countless 'leaving' mir threads, what a load of rubbish. The only time i've made leaving threads is when i've actually been leaving a server. The only actual leaving thread which was different was USA, i had my reasons to leave (the main one being moving home).
I've spent the last few days decorating my new house, we move in next sunday, and as it stands im enjoying my life without mir, perhaps in a year or two when my daughter goes to school, i may buy a new pc and start playing again, But as it looks atm i dont think i will. Mir's good, but it isnt that good i want to waste my life on it anymore than i already have.
Gothika/Chris : Sorry i missed u off my original post, you have been a great friend over the years, and have made me and laura 'lol' irl countless times, i'll never forget u goff!
Xaos/Boobie : Your right, we didnt see eye to eye on Taral when it 1st opened, but through mike i like to think we became quite good mir friends. It was a pleasure playing with someone as loopy as yourself, whatever life throws at you, dont let it dampen your zest for life.
Codex/Rich/Codfish : Knew u way way back from euro, i still owe u monies for TU my pets on your legend of a wiz arko. Over the years have bumped into u on various private servers, way way back to RageZone when we bullied the portugeezers together. Had some good times hunting with u, but hated the fact u constantly pulled me up on my 'broken' english. Will miss u bud, enjoy uni and i hope your life is great.
Kasa/Unfo/Od :
Although alot of the time we argued, and our friendship would differ from server to server, i still hold u 3 in the highest regards, yes liam can be an annoying twat and yes liam can be childish, but i forget he is a child. Still makes me smile to this day when i think back to the USA teamspeak days. Good old JP with OD shouting down his headseat 'FOOK ME ITS PACK0RED'. Kas/Unfo, your two of the smartest people i know, you'll have no troubles in life, even if i think your posh little gits, we go back a long long way and have played many servers together. Was a pleasure playing with u. Please get repo to have a look on this thread when u speak to him pls.
Repo/Mitch :
You self centred pig! How could u leave us to think u'd died!!! Gonna miss u the most out of everyone man, PC wasnt the same after boxing day. PM me get my mobile number - we still want you to come visit! Gonna miss out random msn chats, was fun knowing u and even more fun playing mir with u. Your the only person who i didnt row with all the time. Yes we fell out once, but it didnt end our friendship. Love u man ;p
One thing people, no need to flame this post..... its a simple goodbye to my friends ive made over the years - some of them i've known 3-4 years, i consider these people true friends, and if i could i wouldnt loose contact with any of them.
Will come to the library again in a few days, will be about 10:30amish so if anyone wants to chat to me i'll be on msn for an hour or so then.
