Farewell PWI

tl;dr: TY4FUN, BYE.

Hi all,

I'll be reducing my playing time to a minimum, if not quitting altogether, so I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who've made the game a worthwhile investment over the last 18 months. I'll be pursuing my passion for photography in and around Southern California, and my focus is entirely needed to make it work.

To everyone on both sides of the factor KOS aisle, thanks for making the game a great challenge in both PVP and TWs. I tried to maximize my abilities using a minimal amount of money involved, and I like to think I was relatively successful. In total, I spent about $800 during my time and like to think I was able to compete with those who've spent considerably more.

To my old school UnLimited friends, I wouldn't have made my start in vids if it weren't for you. Who could've known they would evolve into what they are today. I know there's a few of you left still in the game and/or on the forums, and wish you the best in all your endeavors.

To GuardianZ, thanks for the great TWs as we took on RQ. Our greatest victory was defending against BLT, and will always remember that as a team that stood together and really pulled off some amazing defenses against a considerably stronger guild.

To Spectral, thanks for hosting me during my first transition from one side of kos to the other. You're all a great bunch of people, and was proud to be in your company (although most were halfway around the world). Thanks for the mutual respect when I transferred back to the other side, I appreciate it :) Athran's a great leader, gave me a shot when I was even unsure of joining them myself, and was extremely helpful while I got situated.

Damn.. writing this is harder than I thought, can't believe I'm starting to tear up b:sad

To Essence, I love you guys, read our forums for more detail. Thanks again for helping me survive my end-game PW life, I am proud to have been there from the near-beginning and seeing us grow from a rag-tag group of PVP'ers into organized TW beasts <3 I found the hardcore PVP I was looking for right under my nose, and do hope Fight Club continues without my presence.

To all the ladies of PWI, I may not be able to say my personal goodbyes, but do know that I did appreciate you taking the time to message me and having those long conversations whenever I received your PM. Maybe we'll meet someday, but for now, do keep in touch (see below).

To all the guys, thanks for your compliments and messages on YT and PWI. I really appreciate it and did my best to make my vids as entertaining and educational as possible. Just remember that even when the odds aren't in your favor, don't give up. You don't need the best gear to compete at the highest level, just a bit of creativity and perseverance :) Think outside the box, and amazing things just might happen..

To all of PWI. I became known for making vids for the past 1.5 years, and without your criticism and input, it wouldn't be at the level it is today, so thank you. You've helped me see things as an audience member and not just a creator, which tends to be blinding. I do hope that you were able to enjoy my taste in music as it is/was a big of my life. I will be using the techniques, critiques, and experience gained from this in my RL projects, so thank you very much.

It was quite the adventure being a psuedo-celebrity, talking to people from PW versions all across the globe and really making the effort to contact me. I realized I should be focusing the energy I invested in PW towards my RL, where the possibility of making it happen is closer than ever for me.

Thanks again all, I don't know if I'll make any more vids.. maybe when I have some free time I might work on it a bit here and there. If you want, you can contact me via youtube or facebook if you wish:

    Trans...........We didn't have ALOT of chances to pvp together and then against each other.
    But u KNOW me.....I always respect the skilled and the strong.
    YOU are definitely one of them in my eyes from the few times we DID work together and clash.

    I'm real happy for ya on the job thing. Blessed be the man who gets to do what he LOVES as his JOB.
    I'm sure u will pursue your career with as much passion or maybe even MORE so that u put into this game.
    Go do GREAT THINGS my friend.

    Cya when i cya.

    :(

    As usual, it's sad to see someone like you from the community not being around much and soon leaving for good. I never spoke to you before except when I was making fun of your shirt when we were doing public quest. It would have been nice to been able to do the gv the next day. :3


    I guess I should be glad to hear that you're moving on to great things. I should check out your photography. Take care and good luck. b:victory

    you definitely had the psychological profile that most should have when they play pwi

    first time we ran into each other you crashed me at butterflies
    i didnt ask why, but you told me you were just "carrying on the crash"

    and then i knew you deserved referral
    I don't know if anything that I say is standard human nature. or if it matches up perfectly with some pathetic subculture. or that it fits the psychological profile of someone in need of this specific form of something.

    Awww sad to see you go. Shame I didnt see you too often in game (mostly in pk and TW tho) but I guess thats the problem with huge time differences! q__q

    keke you remind me about GZ vs BLT TW's. I like the one where you guys had 80 ppl in your base and we were camped outside from practically start to finish... but we couldnt get through- that was hardcore! Flamez on vent that day was classic! XD

    Thanks for the film making tips. You saved me a lot of trial and error work I'm sure.

    My time in Perfect World is almost up but I'll carry the torch as you put it along with all the other PW film makers to keep a living history of Lost City going strong.

    Its always sad to see a legend go. Wish you the best of luck in RL man. Hope you can garner the fame you had here for real.

    Ill never forget the time I was flying over Hidden Orchid and I watched you take out 3 people within a few seconds. It was like seeing a celebrity lol. Regret that I never got a chance to get up to where I could be on a battlefield with you, either with or against. Either would have been an honor. Good luck.

    I agree with CrazyJ. Your videos, plus PvPing you a few times way back when, made me want to re-roll to an archer. xP

    I already said it on our forums, but I'm browsing here for the first time in months and found this thread, so good luck IRL.

    You were one of the fun ones in game, both pvping with and against. Thanks for the great videos, your reputation will carry on.

    Sad to see a lot of the people I like games going away, but I always have hope we'll run into each other somewhere down the line.

    I'm no one in PWI, but I wanna write some words here too.

    Transcend, your videos made me roll an Archer. I don't play an EA, but I'm gonna try this one day, because your vids are really an inspiration to this. The TW you recorder were and still are one of my favourites videos of Perfect World. You were and You will be my idol in PWI, Transcend, God of Archers.

    I wish You to be in Real World as famous as here. You surely deserve it. I hope all your wishes and dreams will become real.

    P.S. Transcend, come play some time one day. I'm sure everyone will be madly happy of it.
