...so I can't have your stuff?
Why bother asking? We clearly outnumber him.
And I wasn't asking as much as stating the sad fact I couldn't have his stuff.
Now now, let's be equitable. Grazer - can we have some of your stuff?
Glad you're staying.
I like your mind.
Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
That will stop once I've backstabbed you and made off with your share of the loot.
Not that I plan on doing that in the near future. Or do I?
Repressed, eh? That's gonna be the least of your worries once operation "knock Illumisar unconscious, ransack his account, steal all of his epix loot and leave him for dead in the desert with a funny beard painted across his face with waterproof color. Not that he's gonna find water in the desert but anyway. Man all that talking about dessert made me hungry" has kicked off.
Feels like it in my house anyway, "Thats mine, thats mine ooh and thats mine too!"
See how they like being owned... Because that's what cats do when they rub against you... Marking you as theirs.
<-- so shiny and smooth
I still like your mind. It works like mine.
And I'm not planning to kill you in your sleep.
Honestly. Would I lie to you?
Its a trick, get an axe!
...darn. I thought it was to build up static electricity so you could zap the dog. That's why I tolerated it for so long.
I never thought it was an attempt to own a cat. Because that's like... you know, the ownership equivalent to division by zero. It simply can't be done.
Now get on Chats head!
Yeah... Cats are nice and all. They are warm an sometimes cuddly but damn... What an attitude they got.
And don't even try feedng them... They will reject all attempts at pleasing them. (the more expensive the food is the more they will reject it)
Relax, it's just a cat. A bucket of water will do.
Soak the cat in water for at least 9 hours.
Then marinate it for 3.
Into the blast furnace it goes.
Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn't you?
I've just been tidying my wardrobe, I just got lost is all.
Hey, just remember one thing:
R-E-S-T-E-C-P. Whot's 'at spell?

He is staying and we don't get his stuff? Not even some of it?
What was the point of this thread to begin with?
I think the OP is a tease.
The same as the threads where people are not staying and we can get their stuff.
And that fact is in itself a meta-point, on some philosophical level.
But do people who really are leaving actually give away their stuff like that? Every time I've left a game, I've held onto my stuff, if only because you never know when the urge might strike to pick it back up again. Even back in FFXI, where they say "after 3 months, your guys get deleted and your whole account goes inactive and you have to buy another copy to play again as a brand-new account," I still held onto my stuff. Turns out, they finally decided to bring their "account reactivation" thingy out and leave it out... I think it's year-round, or once a year they run it? Regardless, my supposedly deleted guy can probably be brought back with all his stuff, should the urge strike me again.
Anyway, that's way off-track. I just figured he made this thread to counter and even parody the "I'm leaving, this game is horrible, Bill Roper eats babies and so do you if you still play!" threads that seem to pop up every now and then.
..... stupid cat! :mad:
And with both STC and LR getting "tweaked" in the next patch, he really has no way of escaping this ...
Oh wait, I think he's about to teleport away. Nevermind. /sigh
It's a time honored MMORPG tradition. And part of the reason it got so popular was, because of your second statement up there. It was a way for people to break their addiction to the game, because giving away their stuff meant that even if they entertained the notion of coming back, they'd resist since they knew they'd not have their stuff.
Unfortunately, twinking is rampant in MMOs so even that became a half-hearted effort. Because your FRIENDS who stayed would easily and gladly "twink" you with overpowered gear (usually way better than the stuff you had when you left) so that you could come back. That's just a byproduct of classic mudflation.
So the desire to leave eventually became almost a General Sherman tactic in some snarky circles of some extremely addictive MMOs, where it was suggested you give away your stuff. Delete your toons. Uninstall the game. BREAK the discs. Burn the box. Change your credit card. And lose your password.
UNFORTUNATELY ... the game developer's customer service reps, it was later discovered, were able to ... let you download the new remote patcher, update your client to the latest version of the game, reinstate your deleted toons from their side of the game, accept a new credit card, give you back your password once you proved you were you, and leave you at the generosity of your friends to re-gear you. Because, RETURNING business was money.
This also had an interesting side effect on a few of my guildmates back in Everquest. Who would constantly "sell" their accounts on Ebay. Then return to them 6 months later by providing SOE with the original credit card info for the account.
Classic.
And i have high hopes for CO!
And frogtown is now infected. Shotgun anyone?
The monster!
He said he was going to share those with me. :mad:
Hell I don't even have an Alt yet. Level 40 is awesome.
As people leave, slowly the RP community gets bigger! Viva la France!
