I choose not to write a lengthy farewell message at first, but I thought "Eh. Just a message will do." So here it goes...
Due to some recent events and ones not so recent. I have chosen to take a path that I thought I wouldn't need to take. I am leaving the virtual world completely and by that I mean gaming and any kind of online community, simply put, I am addicted to the e-world as it is an escape to a much more relaxing life, but at the same time, an unhealthy one.
I chose to start with the core of my addiction, CoTH and role-playing, next will be my internet connection.
This is an addiction that has taken toll on my real life, away from the computer screen. Things that I won't be going into detail with.
I just want to say my farewells to everyone, it was a grand experience. I will not forget the many friends that I have made and the things you've taught me. Things I wouldn't have learned on my own.
I have requested a ban on my forum account and my game account to eliminate any temptation.
I do not plan to return at all. So yeah, Peace COTH!
This is a brave decision that many, many others would not be able to make. If you think it will work out to make your life better, then more power to ya.
Aw, I would've loved to get to know you ^-^ Seeing that I don't meet people with this much positive will power and actually put it into action. Congradulations and good luck with everything.
I never had what presumably would have been the pleasure of meeting you much, but I suppose a farewell of sorts is in order anyways: Goodbye, and good luck with your future endavours!
Escapism addiction is such a bad problem these days. The fact that you recognize it and taking care of it shows how strong you are. I've dealt with it too when I was younger. My solution was balance, but everyone's cure is different. Some people have to stop altogether when they realize they're escaping reality too much.
Take it easy, man. You're making a very mature decision, and one that I suspect a lot of people from this generation may be faced with at one time or another. I salute you.

Take care man, I think everyone here has said anything I would have said. Good luck with the real life stuff, it's truly what is important, and where real sanity lies. *Wink*
It's been real good with you here, man. I wish you only the best, and maybe when you've got everything tight we can talk some. My AIM is Kaghuros if you eventually want to keep in touch.
