I'm sad to say that I will be leaving Royals. I haven't been here long, not even a month, but I enjoyed my time immensely. I met a lot of awesome people and made many close friends, that I'm sure I would have been able to get to know very well over time. Unfortunately, my undying desire to find true love is at full bloom right now, and I shall begin to devote my time to meeting people and dating. My ban couldn't have come at a better time, actually. The day before I was banned was the day I decided to quit competitive gaming. A message that would have previously torn my world apart was actually a helping hand in getting out of my room. I was banned justly. I had created 4 accounts when I first started playing Royals in order to get extra NX. I wasn't serious about Royals at the time, and I was more doing it just to see if they would catch me. When I decided that I'd be here for the long haul, I stopped vote abusing because I actually began to care about that game and getting banned would have devastated me. I, of course, feel terrible about cheating. It's not like me. I'm usually passionate about fairness when it comes to competitive gaming. But I suppose that's another reason for me to take a break. I'll be around probably. I might still play the merch game a bit. Maybe mess around with some scrolls. But I won't be getting my i/l to 120 any time soon xD Most importantly, I'll be handing Pwnies off to someone I feel will continue to help it grow, and who I can trust to keep it friendly. I once told someone that I had not named it after My Little Ponies in order to remove any stigma from it. But I suppose it can't hurt to tell people that I am a fan of My Little Pony. I not a huge fan, but I crave the opportunity to leave our world of distrust, hate, and greed, and enter a world of friendship and understanding for a half hour each week. And I will do anything to be able to feel like a child again; a time in our lives devoid of responsibility and judgement. I'm sure that's something most of us Royalers can relate by. We loves that nostalgia. Anyways, Pwnies can mean whatever you want it to mean. That's the point I tried to get across when I first told that guy that the guild wasn't named after My Little Ponies. In fact, I told him it was named after a guild I saw on WoW named "MyLittlePwniez", and I told him I respected the clever name and wanted to use it in Maplestory, a game in which guys can ride on pegasi without derision. To me, Pwnies means friendship, and I hope my fellow guild mates can attest to that. We had good times, and I'm sorry to cut myself out of that experience so early. But I need a Mrs. Gossamer in my life. I'm at a time in my life when I have nothing but free time. I'd like that time to be spent with her. <3 Ian Shaffer
GG Ian, you were awesome at being a guild leader for the short amount of time I've been in the guild with you, it's thank to you that I got hooked on this server so easily! Hope I see you around and GLHFIRL . ~
Pretty sure 4 accounts count as heavy abuse and is a permanent dismissal? Could be wrong on that. If it's not why not stick around anyway. Lots of people have found "true" love in the name of MapleRoyals (even people living halfway across the globe from each other!). But nonetheless it's not something anyone would or should aim for to find on a 2D platform so I wish you the best of luck in the real world. Cheerio!
Good luck, boss! I know you'll do great things out there, and any girl is gonna be real lucky to have ya We'll miss you.
I dont know you very well but I often saw you in the fm and its enough to leave a an impression when I too, will one day leave royals. very nice farewell thread. Maybe ill see you around
Goodbye IAN ! You're a great guild leader, had really big fun with your guild Good luck with real life
