Who am I?
Hey everybody. So, before we start, I just wanted to say that this isn't one of those troll threads, this is really me speaking the truth. Now normally I don't make these kind of threads because I don't see a need to. But now I feel is the time to do so, since it's been over a year now, and you're probably wondering what my Pr2 name is to begin with.
Well first off, I've been around Pr2 and JV since 2008. I remember when the UAX disaster happened, I remember every little feature that @Jiggmin has added to the game, I remember all the glitches and exploits that happened, I've made friends with old players that have quit (even though some are still active, now), and I've ranked myself up pretty high in the game.
Now at this point, it's time for me to reveal my Pr2 username. My Pr2 username is Danger. Don't believe me? Search me on Pr2, right now. Or, ask some of my old friends on JV. I wasn't ready to reveal myself when I came back to JV as Fam93, until now.
Now ever since I first began playing Pr2, I've always wanted to be a really high rank like everybody else. I didn't understand too much about the game back in 2008-2009, and would always take a while trying to get to Rank 50 like the other players back then.
I also didn't understand F@H, which is why I got folded +3 at Rank 40 back in May of 2010 (BIG MISTAKE)! Why did I stay at Rank 43 for a year up from that point? Well, I had to move from one location to another, and had some things going on IRL, so it threw me under the bus for reaching Rank 50+ in 2010, instead of fall in 2012. Yeah Ik, that really sucks!
Why I Quit?
Well, the answer is quite simple... I gave up. I know, giving up is bad and I regret it, looking back on it, now. But hey, the only thing you can do is to move on, right? Anyways, let's pick up from August of 2013, when I reached 58+3 (big deal back then). I was in third place behind @AlphaZ who was 59+4, and @quesin who was 61+4.
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.
Will I ever return?
The answer is no. The reason I don't plan on returning is because I've moved on to bigger and better things, and couldn't possibly bat an eye to return and macro in the first place. To me, it's just not as fun and magical anymore as it was back in the old days. This isn't an attack on the new/old players who still macro, this is just how I feel, personally.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'd like to thank all these people for being a great friend and helping me reach my destination:
@AlphaZ for folding me +5
@Atari4600 for helping me rank up
@Colind for helping me rank up
@FDX3 for helping me rank up
@HelpACC for helping me rank up
@Jellyhood3 (non-active member) for helping me rank up
Bottomline: You won't see me macroing my account anytime soon because I'm done. Not because of the 1k experience, but because I don't find joy into this game like I used to, and have given up.
