Going inactive.
Just a heads up guys, gals and Sweety. I am taking Ret inactive for a while. Spend way too much time and energy on this game between being in game and the forums. Since this is my primary character, he is the obvious first step in reducing my involvement. Never fear, this isn't an I am leaving VO message. I'll still be around on minor alts on a very reduced level. You may even know some of them :P Any how, its been loads of fun, and I'm sure you'll be seeing me down the road. Cheers! _________________ Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is alright with me! Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate! Yar har wind at your back lads, wherever you go!

Re: Going inactive.
Well, maybe when you get back in I can start whooping your arse again. Make sure to be inactive for a little bit so the rust start to gathers... god knows you've won in the last two duels we've had, so go gather a bit more rust while I try to scrape mine off. Make sure to let the door hit peytros on the way out. It might take some doing, but you know it'll be worth it . :P |

Re: Going inactive.
Hopefully not too rusty! I'll be on as Kraden Meronin (you and Ostan might remember him ;-) doing bp periodically and may make a Itani alt for the same. Other than that, I'll be exploring the game changes as I have time on my super secret alt. The main objective is to get back to the rl activities I enjoy :o _________________ Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, If you love to sail the sea, you are a pirate! |

I will keep your sandbox in storage together with a few metric tons of kitty litter sand for when you get back. _________________ M. Duncan Commander 10/13/13/13/12 m.duncan@viperguild.com |

Re: Going inactive.
It was fun while it lasted. I canceled my sub for Retractile tonight and deleted his character. I could blame the economy, but I really just don't care or enjoy vo anymore. I'm still on my other account for the time being, but only to do my weekly guild duty, at least till I come to my senses and delete 'that' character as well. Cheers all! Win or lose, you were all great sports! _________________ Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is alright with me! Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

Re: Going inactive.
I have returned as Ret Fluffster, at least for the time being. If I can't keep my playing time within reason I'll be gone again. I've certainly missed VO and all of my friends dearly during my absense. VPR as always is welcome to shoot me on sight, though at this point I'm not sure what direction my character will take. I am no longer CLM and do not plan to return to the guild though it is a fantastic guild with great people and players. For the moment I intend to remain guildless as well and careerless. _________________ Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, If you love to sail the sea, you are a pirate! |

Abandon piracy. Join the good fight. Now that you're more experienced and mature (within the context of VO), I think you'll find it much more fun and rewarding than the alternative! |

Perhaps. I was a pretty lousy pirate at the end of my last period of playing. Got bored with it really due to the lack of real trade happening. I'd still get to pop voys right? _________________ Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, If you love to sail the sea, you are a pirate! |

Re: Going inactive.
Just to be clear, am I still on the VPR KOS list or what? Doesn't really matter. I just want to know how I should consider you guys and gals (I assume there may still be gals) hostile entities or not. _________________ Yah - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is all right with me!

Re: Going inactive.
Depends on you I guess. You no longer have Retractile, so I guess that as far as we can cross distinguish that you are not on it? Spewing pirate anthems on the Viper webpage is, however..... Not a good way to show you have redeemed yourself ;) _________________ Lady Serco shine her light upon you. |

Re: Going inactive.
Kitties Kitty!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I never said I've redeemed myself. Don't really see much point to it :P But, I plan to limit my activities to pvp, voy popping and maybe some nationalist stuff up in Deneb. Got pretty bored with pirating players. Not really worth the hassle to find that 1 in 100 that's worth the effort. You've got to admit that 'You are a pirate' is a darned cool song! But in the spirit of things, I'll see what I can do to find a new theme song. Maybe the theme song from Fame. _________________ Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, If you love to sail the sea, you are a pirate! |

There hasn't been anyone worth pirating ingame for close to a year now, cf. the as-of-yet unfixed economy. |

Re: Going inactive.
Yeah. Not a lot of real trade happening with the enhanced routes. Most moths are proc runs, which means low value cargo. I may not make as much popping voys, but its kinda like fishing. Set up at the wh, kick back with a soda and a good book and wait for the prox alarm to go off. Clean up the mess. You should join me sometime :laugh: :P _________________ Yah - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is all right with me! Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

Riight. Perhaps I walked in on this at a bad time. But it's a pity to see all the decent rats 'retiring' just as I put my application forward! So should have joined back in '08 when I started this account. |
