A hedge hoggs off

[HedgeHug 2049]

Greetings friends,

 

It's been a while since I have said anything on any LotC platform - I've had a busy few months and have returned here briefly to offer some closure.

 

My time on LotC has come to an end. I have simply outgrown minecraft roleplay as this platform presents it. Much have I enjoyed my 2+ years here and regret little of the time I have spent in this community.

 

The reasons for leaving are simple: I've outgrown it, I no longer have the time due  college and the simple fact that the IRL has kicked in for me. I've met a lovely girl I now may call my girlfriend that has laid her claim upon a lot of my time. Aside from all this, I have lost the drive to invest time in this server - as it's simply not worth it.

 

Those that have known me for a while know my philosophy: I always make decisions about spending currency (it being time or money) based on what it will offer me in return. Spending time on LotC is no longer worth it in my opinion, as the alternatives are simply better by a longshot.

 

The community has withered from what it was. Toxic. Unpleasant. If any, the message I wish to leave you with is this: it's a game. You're discussing the rules of a game that's been made within a game. You're verbally assaulting someone over a disagreement in a game within a game. You're bashing someone's creative input because their investment of time and effort simply doesn't fit within your vision of this made up game within a game. Anyways ... you get it. Stop taking things too seriously and focus on that thing which matters most: enjoy your ******* free time. Spend it on something that will bring you true joy, and not bring you stress, sadden you or even make you feel like **** at the end of the day. That's simply unwise.

 

As stated, I haven't been around for some months so things might've changed. But these words have been stuck for way longer than that. 

 

Either stop taking things too seriously, and get along in a truly enjoyable way - or stop wasting your time and invest it in more productive or enjoyable things.

 

I wish each and every one of you the best in life. I will always be available on Discord through DM's: Hedgehug#2111

 

My characters Shagarath, Narmir and Dlunar are all MIA.

They might return in another verse on another platform, as roleplay remains among my list of interests/hobbies

 

I've ranted for long enough now. Be on your ways, ya nerds.

 

A Hedge, hoggs off.

See you around. You have been one of the best people to happen to me in a long time. I am proud to say you've become a brother to me. Through everything I've put you through, you have been a stone when I needed one. And you had no issues telling me that I needed a break. You didn't treat me like a child, you treated me as someone who deserved compassion and kindness. I will miss the fact that you will no longer be on here, but I am proud that you are able to put your life before this game. See you around Hedge.

Going to miss you Hedge. Loved your RP and writing in general, wish we could've gotten to interact more. Hope you and your lady friend continue being happy together!

Also hope you do pop by sometime in the future however. Even if just for a bit.

You may not remember me but I was that weird wood elf guy back in Pompourelia, our characters clicked right off the bat. I wish you luck in real life, friend. (I didn't know you were captain_daan until a few months ago, I thought you left the server ages ago)

Feels.. bad, man.

Sad to see you go, brother. Go and get the girl.

glad to see you leave man, not because you're a bad guy, but because you're a good guy. we should be helping people leave lotc, not tryna recruit them. has a bad effect on people's health i've come to notice.

Adios primo

[Adelemphii 1766]

I may not have roleplayed with you too much Daan, But I did enjoy every bit of it. Especially the times we had in skype calls with that little grove we had during Vailor. Good luck with life man, and I hope you and your new Girlfriend (I say that with emphasis because it's something I shall never have because I love LoTC too much.) have a good life together. Once more good luck, signing out,

Pie.
