*GASP* Links is still alive?! Shocking isn't it? Well... I'm here to make an annoucment. As some of you may know, (and by that, I mean the three I told on Xfire) I'm going to be getting a brand new, very nice computer. Reason being, this computer is about to drop dead on the floor. Hopefully I'll be recieving this new computer by August, when I'll be reinstalling most of my games.
MxO will not be one of them.
Sadly, I haven't jack in in almost 5 months. For me, the game, the whole Matrix story has lost its interest. And I just can't see myself still playing this game anymore. I am most shocked, because I swore 2 years ago that I wouldn't leave this game no matter what. I had always assumed that I would stick by it, through thick and thin to the very end. I guess I won't.
This game... has changed me. I remember, when I first logged in on this computer, I was around lvl 11, and I just explored... I was amazed at the detail, the people, the enemies, EVERYTHING. I was maybe 13-14 years old at the time. I can safely say, this game brought out a lot from me... Through the years, I learned how to really Role-play, how to improve my story telling skills, how to interact with people on the Internet. And the people I met changed me. From my first real faction leader, Anubitz, to Gothique, Phrack, Vanil, AlicethePattern, WGAnubis, Sieges, Iovai, and GreatWyrm, I learned so much. I have made many, MANY friends in this game, many of whom I still chat with even now. I can't thank the whole community enough for the joy they gave me, the fun I had with them, and the great memories.
Fighting side-by-side with Fenshire against Mevrs back in the day, Hunting down the Assassin in the MCPD/Machines, my many conversations with people like Wyrm, Alice, Vanil and Sieges, to my fights with WGAnubis and our "interesting" couterparts.
I could go on and on... but there are a few people who I would like to shout out to specificly.
Gothique: No matter what anyone says about you, you truely introduced me into RP, and I can't thank you enough.
Fenshire: You were a great comrade when we worked together, and you were a role model to me during your time in the MCDoE. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do.
Alice: You were always looking out for me. We've had our ups and downs, but we always seemed to fix them. I can say that without you, I wouldn't have nearly been as good an RPer.
Anubis: Man... how things have changed. I think when I first met you, you were facing down Fenshire with the threat of your virus. You were very cold to Links IC, but OOC, you helped me flesh out Vanon and I can't thank you enough for that. You were a wonderful friend, and I look forward to fighting you again should the oppotunity arise!
Vanil: "Prince"... your writing had always made me strive to work harder, to write wonderful stories such as yours. I can say that working in the Masquerade was wonderful, and I'm going to miss our fun little chats on that Camon rooftop.
Wyrm: Wyrm, Wyrm, Wyrm... at first when you and Anubis had offered me the chance to join the Advocates, I was a little uneasy... I was worried that you were going to do something terrible to Links, and he was going to never be the same. Turns out I was right! But because of your IC insanity, you brought out something I thought I never could do... RP a twisted man, who's emotions were always confliciting with his mentality. You really made me into who I am today.
Iovai: Doc... All the fun we had... Our very random OOC chats about Nintendo and Zelda were always refreshing in a world hell-bent on Halo and GTA being gods. And The Master Sword belongs to me! ME I TELL YOU!
And last but not least... Sieges: I think you were the kindest and most welcoming person I ever had the pleasure to meet in MxO. When I first joined the Advocates, I knew only the captains, but you were the first to really welcome me, and talk to me. Through you, I was able to really enjoy my time with the Advocates when at first I was unsure about it. As time passed, and people did, we became almost brother and sister, and I had a connection that I couldn't have with anyone else in the game. Our IC chats were always different, many made me smile. Out of everyone else, I think I'm going to miss seeing you the most in-game. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
There are so many others that made the game enjoyable for me, but I can't really remember them much, so forgive me if I didn't mention you.
So whats next for me? Well WoW has become my new crack (sadly, the game is just too darn fun... SCOURGE!!!). Currently, I'm situated on Azjol-Nerub (MORE SCOURGE!) and go by LinksLife on my main there. So for all you other WoWers, if your ever on the server, stop by and say hello! I'm also always on Xfire (linkslife) so feel free to chat there.
As for Links in-game, I might stop in once more, just to say goodbye to those that I've connected with. From an RP standpoint, after whatever Vanil has planned for Links in the Revolution, he will be staying in the Real, not jacking in, but still be a slight pressence for the game. If you would like to RP with me, I'd be more than happy to, as long as you don't force me to jack-in.
Once again, to everyone I've ever met, thank you all for being so supportive of me. I will miss you all so much.
Signed,
LinksLife (aka Corey Stewart)
