That's it for me
« on: April 26, 2014, 06:11:26 pm »
Back in November I told Frogger that I wanted to finish with GoIO competitive after Cogs Season 3. As well all know, that didn't happen, so instead I chose the Sky League as my final event.

Anyways, after spending a year and a half playing this game and logging over 800 hours, it came to the point where constantly striving to improve and win tournaments was the only thing keeping me interested. That's in no way a criticism against the game. I've been playing since beta, I've seen Muse add two ships and four guns and raise all that money on their kickstarter, I've played in almost every single major tournament that's been held by the community... It had to end somewhere. So this is it I guess.

I'll still log on sporadically (maybe), and I'll definitely stick around to keep moderating the forums. But this is the end of the line for me as a regular GoIO player.

To all the people I've played with, thanks for the great memories. I'll see you in Adventure Mode.

Don't make me change my mind :P

But really though, I have other things to focus on in my life, and I'd like to devote as much attention to them as possible. In the end it wasn't a hard decision to make.

Gotta be more reasons than competitive if it wasn't a hard decision. But I know the feeling as I've debated it often. My memories of the fantastic game once played a year ago, can only carry on so long before I just get tired of hoping for that next patch.

Take some time off, you'll probably find your urge to play return eventually. Then run some silly builds and just have fun again.

I think you'll take a break, but I don't think you'll be gone for long. 

Who else will be able to do the engineering of three crew on a squid if you leave?

We're going to miss you, Sunderland! I remember fondly playing with you on a squid for an evening when I was a lot newer to this game than I am now. You were very helpful :D.

I hope you come back to visit us and our greasy brows soon enough. :)

Bro, he literally explained it had nothing to do with the game.

But who else will argue with me in good spirits about gunners vs engie?

I know how you feel.

A great flight has come to a end here. You'll be missed Sunderland, you deserve another salute.
