Sorry to see you go Jim. You are a very great person to have in the LS community.
I completely understand where you are coming from though.
I have been having the exact same thoughts lately about something better to do with my time.

P.S.

I hope it is possible to get my baby back.

wth?!? OMG

This makes me sad for the ls community and happy for you Jim. You are a great person and I think we all respect your decision, no matter how much it's upsetting for us. I will see what I can do about helping speed you on your way, as you own many fine things that I would cherish. I hope between now and then you decide to just give it a break. I would understand if you don't think your personality will allow that though. We'll miss you buddy



I just broke out a roll of duct tape to put my shattered heart back together...do you need some while it's out?

sad times for us all

Jim, before you sell your items, ask yourself this: Do you really need the fg for another game or to blow it on a few electronics in DF? Why don't you just hang your hat, stop playing ls, and keep all your items? The value of perfection isn't going to have the bottom fall out and may even go up in time...

I was going to suggest the same. There really isn't much you can do with all the FG beside electronics or other games.. and I don't think you are planning on moving to another one.
Maybe just keep the items there in case you do get the urge to come on and slash here and there. So many people regret selling out because it is so difficult to get anything close to what you had back.

Good luck Jim, if you figure out some better way to spend your time please be sure to share it with me. I don't have the willpower to break the addiction

Now go out like a true pimp. Get money get paid!

I think the key is a little bit of starcraft and some Mr. Rogers.

In all honesty Jim, I would follow the advice nick and nick have stated and then decide if you want to sell out.

Last time I EVER make someone's gold say 6.66

Jesus, you made a quit thread w/i an hour. Lord please forgive me

The whole point is to move on.... Keeping my garbage won't let me move on.
I'm a pretty strong willed individual, if I quit... it will be for real and permanent.
I've met a lot of wonderful people here, but... and don't this the wrong way... it's all fake. It's all virtual.. It is nothing, and now it means nothing to me.
As I stated a couple pages back, the person who I am, the character I have, the personality I have is very obsessed driven. I obsess over things, and LS is one of those things.

Nick, you have it made bud. Your at a point in your life where you can live out the rest of your days with this as a great hobby for you. You've been there, you've done that, you've graduated college, you've become an electrical engineer, you've got married, you've started a family. You're status in your profile is so true, you really are living the dream. I treasure all that you have outside LS, MUCH more than I treasure all this internet garbage. I want, what you have.... and I have NONE of it. And a HUGE reason why I don't... is LS and jsp. I'm one of THOSE guys. Those addicted driven, obsessed personality, people who get inside a shell and stay there while the world passes them by. I want to live a little, I want to break my chains and fly so to speak. My chains are LS, my chains is the financial and time investments I've made into this game that hold me down. The reason I can't leave, or move on. Because, like I said, my mental state of being, the person I am, won't let me move on. One day Nick, I hope to accomplish the things you have accomplished in your life. I admire that, I wish I one day can have what you have. THAT is what is important in life.

My mind is made up, the next chapter in my life is beginning. I turned 24 years old on September 9th. I'm in the PRIME of my life. And by god, you better believe I'm going to take full advantage of what time will slowly take away from me.

Love you all, sorry it has to be like this. But it is for the best.

I'm sad to see you quit us Jim, but i can undersatnd, life sometimes ask for us to take time for priority.

I hope you good things in irl and i keep the hope to see you back with us in a closer future.

Keep contact with us and came to say hello sometimes in the guild chat

we will miss you.

edit: I quit diablo 2 for about the same reason of you quit ls now, i totaly understand you. Take time for you irl, take benefit of the life and always remember, yes this is a virtual world here, but the friendship we can get its not always virtual Take care
