[http://wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?title=User%3AVili%2Fwtf%3F&diff=1463732&oldid=1463717 Emily Diehl signed my wtf chain. Twice. Why haven't you?]

Exeunt
I don't feel like explaining things twice, so this is copied from my GWW userpage and modified for the local context.

This user has /uninstalled Guild Wars and is leaving GuildWiki, probably indefinitely. I'll also be visiting IRC about as often as PanSola.


 * 1) I've been thinking about things. 24.92.116.83 really is right. There's no reason to play a "game" anymore if it isn't fun, because then it is just unpaid work. And trolling a wiki about a game that you don't play is just kind of...pathetic. There are nice people here, always are in any community. But these days, it's difficult for me to muster a positive care level for the community itself - for the actual GuildWiki, not just its individual component people. (It does not help that Wikia keeps shitting on us.) My successor to the throne always says that "wikis are people", but I just don't know. I'll go out of my way to destroy someone who slights one of my wiki friends, but if Wikia decided to sell off GuildWiki? If the wiki decides to formally move on to "GuildWiki 2"? I wouldn't lift a finger anymore. And this fact bothers me.
 * 2) I've never really felt like I served any particularly useful purpose anymore ever since I turned in my crown. We've got enough sysops, there are rumors of more coming soon, and few people here appreciate PvP anyway...so even just trolling people becomes somewhat joyless.
 * 3) Even if I wanted to play Guild Wars again, the servers are/were fucking abysmal with no signs of improvement for months now. How do you have fun when your average ping - anywhere, anytime, no matter what you're doing - is in the four or five digit range consistently? Where you rubberband halfway across the map, stall for ten-minute stretches, disconnect during cutscenes, and 007 while idling in the guild hall? That's just ridiculous. PvP was my last refuge in Guild Wars, and as that's completely impossible with that sort of ping/latency, there's just nothing left for me. Bottom line: When the lag gets so bad that you can't even do basic PvE, the game just sucks. Terrible shit is terrible. And also shit.
 * 4) I am probably not getting Guild Wars 2. This has nothing to do with how I feel about Guild Wars 1, but rather that I have pretty high standards for my games. Prophecies met those, way back in the day. ArenaNet is really going to have to impress me to sell Guild Wars 2, whenever it finally comes out. (Side note: I'm not going to abandon my Bureaucrat/Sysop seat on Guild Wars 2 Wiki yet. I feel that if "the two communities" are ever going to "merge", I'll be needed in that position. If you wish to be grandfathered over, just let me know. After that initial phase, though...)
 * 5) Finally...I MISS WORLD OF WARCRAFT. (Could you tell?) No joke. There are so many games out there that I haven't tried because I already played Guild Wars, and so many other games that I've wanted to replay but just didn't have time...I'm a very "one-game" person, I concentrate wholly on one game at a time and make it a real part of my life. And now, it's just time to move on. After three years, I've had enough.

In closing, I just want to note three game-related things.


 * 1) I've given away all my stuff - all three accounts - to this person, in case you still see me online.
 * 2) Felix still owes me ~90k. Strike this line once said obligation is free.
 * 3) Salad is entitled to one Miniature Koss, one Miniature Ooze, and one Miniature Cloudtouched Simian (or whatever the last one was) from my collection of miniatures, free of charge, though I won't refuse payment. ;) Strike this line once said obligation is free.

May Dwayna smile upon you.

P.S. Please do continue to sign my wtf chain, though. It is the most awesome page on Guild Wars Wiki, after all, and quite possibly the most important Guild Wars-related page ever.

P.S.S. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO OUR FAVICON?!
