Dear inhabitants of Lunara, friends and foes,
It's not a big secret that I stopped actively playing some time ago. I've never posted a final goodbye though, so here it is.
I started playing Tibia on Lunara server in March 2003. I was enthusiastic playing my first MMORPG which offered something called 'community' which no other game I knew had. That community made me stay here for such a long time. I wished I could retire from the game after first two years. I was a Tutor back then and I waited for Tibia to bore me enough to vanish. That's the time when CIP decided to ruin my plan and introduce position of Senior Tutor which I received immediately. Being offered some new powers I decided to have some fun with cleaning the mess on boards. That alone kept me even some more months in here. Then suddenly things changed when I got promoted and received my blue cape. That moment defined my playing style for the rest of time I have spent here. It gave me a lot of opportunities to fight negative things Tibia was being poisoned with. On the other hand, becoming Gamemaster restricted my freedom of playing, which could easily be seen after first war I got dragged into. Neutrality was the only way to play the game and I can't really say it was that bad. As you might imagine active participation of GM in wars can't be the best idea. Accusations of bias are understandable, who would trust GM that fights on other side? Some did and I thank them for their trust. Those who really know me, know that I always fought cheating in my own team with highest priority. Separation of being a normal player and GM was never a problem to me, but some people could never understand that. I hope I helped as much as I could with the powers I have/had. I wish I could have helped more, especially with account trading, sharing and power abuse. I invested a lot of my time, often with no results, for example some might remember my last power abuse investigation (over 200 reports). I've been always advocate of players and I tried really hard to see things improved on CIP's side. Believe me, if there was lack of action, unfinished investigations or well known cheaters running around for years - it was not effect of my laziness. If you put 2 and 2 together you'll understand that I could do only as much as I was allowed to.
Of course Tibia wasn't just GMing for me. I was member of great guilds: Dragons, Ternion Verity, Liches of Archinare Academy, Core and Conlegium, as well as some other respected guilds on my other characters. It was great fun to play with so many good players and to get to know so many players that formed Lunara's distribution of power. Lunara has its ups and downs, I wish it had more ups though. There are too many immature and blunt kids playing now that drastically decreased standard Tibia offered. Tibia would be nothing without friends. I'd like to thank all my friends for the time we spent in the game. I had chance to meet some of you in real life - you never disappointed me. You are too many to name in here and it'd be disaster if I forgot someone so I'll not bother making a list. I wish you all best of luck. Last words to my "enemies" - just take care, have fun and don't forget about rule 0 .
Since I'll ask for accepting my resignation from GM position I'll probably lose premium account. Therefore I'm selling my house here.
Goodbye!
