Hello All,
It's been almost a year on Modern War and it is time for retirement. Which is funny, because a lot of retired folks play this game. My best memories are being with an amazing faction, Global Strike Force, which has been top ten in every event (good job guys!), and whom I have enjoyed serving as faction leader for. They are a tough, smart, relaxed, and fun group of people that love to drink. If you're looking for a faction, I encourage you to lok into them.
Thanks to those of you that kept the game chill and drama free, and not that 6-year old kid that breaks his Wii controller because his character died. The game was fun, but some of the people are more fun. The people make the game, and without interesting people, from new friends to the people that get angry, threaten you (Thanks, Diesel/Milspec) and insult you because they are upset you attacked them, the game wouldn't be as fun.
I hope to see some of you one day, especially the faction buds. Next time i'm in Amsterdam, I will get drunk with Ferr, take his device when he passes out, sell his buildings, change his avatar, and join the Pirates with his account. But am really looking forward to the GSF shenanigans get together.

Why am I stepping out?
1) Rehab group therapy
2) Time andMoney (gold inflation stinks, and $2,400 a year to press buttons on a screen- I'll take a nice vacation instead)
3) Hackers, cash, energy, health regen/WD point, and stamina hackers. What really did it is that these people, if they spent gold, received a get out of jail free card. Chuck Finley and his friend were right about their post about M*****c, and there are others, but I won't name any names. Nothing is done about these people.
4) The LTQ events pushed the balance in their favor, and for someone that only had 300 energy (410 now) and was using a good skill point strategy, not cool. The game was changed without a chance to readjust our skill points- not cool, Gree
5) Support was too slow, and often not adequate, sending standard replies without the support person actually reading or understanding the problem. I'm status 206, should get better service than that
6) The new gold bonus program. I don't believe the argument behind it. Lets get this straight- improve a process that streamlines and automated gold bonuses thereby freeing up an employee and support staff to administer them, which Funzio should have set up in the first place on the database, and claim that the tradeoff is that you can't count the number of vaults, but the $ amount spent? Please! I learned something in business school, this is just a move to increase revenue and decrease admin/support costs. Call it as it is, but don't pass me a piece of poo and call it cake
7) The pace is too much to keep up with. Tons of events all the time. Too much effort to keep up with
On the bright side, I have made some great friends, and that has made all of the time and money spent on this game worth it. I've learned a lot about the people that play this game and have been surprised at the diversity of the people that play, from every demographic and background. Really is nice to see how technology can bring everyone together to spend some cash (or hack) to wage war on one another.
Wish you all the best of luck and happiness with your Modern War experience.
Stay classy everyone, and keep it drama free and fun!
Thanks for a fun time!
