Shattered Kingdoms

Tragonis · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2019 6:30 am

Unfortunately I have decided to retire all my characters based on Dulrik's refusal to restore my character being hit by a random deloot bug during the monthly reboot. I would likely have pushed on regardless if this was the first time this happened, but in the last three months I have been hit by four different instances where my character's kits got obliterated by a bug. This is frustrating, especially for those that know how much time I devote to my characters. And after awhile I cannot justify doing it over and over and having bugs unaddressed by Dulrik hit me. I have left this game before when I had operational commitments, but this time, I feel confident I will not be returning. I recommend that Dulrik reviews his approach while dealing with the type of bugs I faced. Or better yet resolve the code to prevent it from happening. Also, timely responses would help. I understand life happens, but recently I feel that only Algorab is actively trying to keep this game alive as an immortal. For those left playing and those I have played with over the years. Thank you and good bye, it was a good ride while it lasted.

I'm sad to see you go, but I understand your reasons completely.

I think Thuban is also active, but there's definitely more work to go around than people to do it. I know there's several players who have the skills and desire to implement bug fixes and code changes. I hope Dulrik considers taking them up on their offers.

Trosis · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2019 6:45 am

My heart’s broken. But I can’t judge you in the slightest.
You’re one of the last few true vets. And letting you slip through their fingers is disheartening.
Get a discord and add me and other people so we can stay in touch.
I play Xbox as well. Add me on discord and we might still be able to game together.
Discord: TJRainman#1869

You’ve been an inspiration in this game and I’ve learned a lot from you.
I can’t express thanks enough through simple text.
Thank you for everything and I wish you the best in your OOC life.
Farewell, Trag.

You'll absolutely be missed, and I know I wish it had went a different way.

I will only add, sometimes I'm more readily visible, but saxifaesgvwesdfgwe is right, Thuban puts in a lot of time making the place look nice, and have new activities.

All the best in whatever you do next, Trag.

Baldric · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2019 11:23 am

Hey, Trag, it's a real drag when kits get wiped out by bugs. In a game where gathering and enchanting loot is such a time sink while also being absolutely essential for pvp readiness, it's too bad IMMs can never give players EQ.

On another note, I heard IMMs will hand over Ephialtis's loot if your character is long lived and really wants it. Maybe you should have tried to schedule an important RP duel.

Pook · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2019 1:48 pm

Ooof. I will miss this player and their contributions - in game, and in the forums.

ladyjennbo · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2019 3:58 pm

This sucks.

A lot.

I wish this hadn't happened.

BAI7l7 · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2019 11:12 pm

Really enjoyed playing with you on every one of your characters. Always gave me a big laugh with all your antics/mischief. I respected you because you always put your kid gloves on against someone less experienced. Wish I was still playing so I can just get you your kit back in a few hours or just kill the person who hoarded them. You will be missed. And I wish you all the best in whatever you do =)

This is a MASSIVE blow to the community and you were a big part of what was left. A big part of SK died today =(

-Aello

PS the fact that you held on to lydia this long makes me smile. I think you played Allender, and he was pretty fun to RP with too. Or I think I have my people mixed up if you play Kazan of the Knight of Selkwood.
