So, I'm not going to post a message on the Welcoming board because I've been around on JV for over a decade, so I'm just going to give my reason as to why I basically quit Pr2 back in 2013, and what brought me back, in 2019.
I was basically burned out from being #1 in Pr2 and macroing/simming all the time. Having to leave my CPU on for hours was costing me a massive electric bill (which I could no longer afford anymore), plus my CPU was really crappy back in the day, but now I have a better one: Intel core i9 Windows 10. I decided to go to law school in Fall of 2013, so there's no way in the world I was going to monitor my account to make sure I'm grinding exp pts.
I sold my account (including my alts) to askRYAN for $4k, a month after I reached rank 65 because I saw no need to make any return what so ever at all. Honestly, I don't see why people continue to macro/sim because the game is dead imo. It's just not the same as it was in 2009, and tbh, the rank tokens drive me nuts. My graphics card was horrible, which is why I was only running 70k a WU. That too was also costing me a massive electric bill! So I decided to stop folding for 5th
Now could I return and outrank all these guys? Sure, if I really wanted to. You all have to remember something... I had the upper hand back in 2013, so if I would have felt more energized to continue, guys like Colind would not be #1, I promise you! I allowed FDX3 to pass me because I was burned out. I use to be able to run 8 accounts on 1 server, but my CPU experienced some problems that I could not fix at the time, including major lag issues... YUCK!
Now I understand any objections that you may have about this list, but tbh with you, that's REALITY, if I had continued. That would be a nightmare for a lot of you because from rank 79, it would take 1 billion exp pts to surpass me. I was going to update my graphics card to Geforce NVIDIA or something, so I can at least get 350k a WU, but like I said, my CPU began to develop problems so, that set me back by $2500 that I saved up.

ORIGINAL PLANS
When I reached rank 65 on the 6th of July, 2013, my plans were to reach 66 by Sept, 67 by Nov, 63+5 in Dec, 69 by Feb 2014, then 70 on May of 2014, then quit. But with guys like fdx3 catching up, I would have kept on going. I was originally obsessed with being #1, I was concerned when AlphaZ reached rank 60 back in March of 2013, and I just couldn't stand it!
Now check this out, I understand that a lot of y'all who knew me back in the day is probably wondering what rank I would have been if I had continued. Well, here's my prediction list:
Rank 83 [Total: 1]
quesin
Rank 79 [Total: 1]
Colind
Rank 77 [Total: 1]
AlphaZ
Rank 76 [Total: 1]
FDX3
Rank 74 [Total: 1]

DO I PLAN TO RETURN?
The answer is no. Here's why: I'm only Rank 67 atm, so I would have to put in a lot of work to be #1 again, plus since I'm so far behind that it's not even freaking funny, I would not budge a chance to get back in the game. Not to mention I would have to get my account back from AskRYAN. The money was to fix my computer, but hey, you do what you gotta do.
It would take me YEARS to outrank the top guys at this point. That's time that I cannot afford atm. If I do return, I would reach rank 70 and that's it. Anything beyond that is just pointless. Although I always wondered what it would be like to be Rank 80+.

To clarify, Rank 80 would have been my goal back then, but with guys like Colind, AlphaZ, and fdx3, it would force me to Rank 83 for sure. Anyways, that's all I had to say atm. Don't take it personal because you know it's the TRUTH! Also, I'm not on here trolling or anything, I'm speaking FACTS!
Jay is Best!
