I could have kept on going and become the first Rank 70, but I simply lost interest in Pr2, like @Colind did, and decided to give up after I received 58+4 in Oct of 2013.
2 Years later, I came out of retirement because I got sick and tired of being Rank 62 for the last two years. So, I came back and reached 59+4 in Feb of 2015, 60+4 in Dec of 2015, 60+5 in Jan of 2016, and 61+5 in Apr of 2016. Why such a long gap? Because I got lazy and was thinking about quitting.
After April of 2016, I've finally decided to call it quits because I've completely lost all interest into Pr2 and decided to move on to college and university. I haven't ranked my account in 5 years.
I honestly think that if I had never quit back in 2013, I would have been Rank 82 or 83, today. I understand that it's hard for you guys to believe that, but back then, it would have been different if I hadn't given up.
You see, I had goals and aspirations to continue no matter what, but I gave up on them because something that I was trying to do back in September of 2013 (when everyone eventually caught on and reached Rank 60+), I gave up on because I thought it was too hard to do, correctly, if you know what I mean. Plus I was bored to death of Pr2 back then.
The thing with all of this is, any of the old high ranks including myself could make these claims too. Back in September 2012, there were over 150 rank 50+ accounts and you weren't among them.
Also, you actually got lucky that you didn't "lose" a ton of exp like myself and the other top ranks did due to the rank token update. I was also folded in the 40's (deliberately by someone else to annoy me, which was common) before going on to near rank 58 pre rank tokens, so basically equivalent to your 58+3 post rank tokens. I went inactive for a while after the update, and of course by the time I returned, other players had caught up/surpassed me (e.g. yourself, AlphaZ) or extended their lead (e.g. quesin).
Not having a go at you here mate, just pointing out some facts.
