Bit of a misleading topic title, as retiring implies I actually did something previously but oh well.

I don't know if any of you have noticed (if you did it was probably because of a 100% reduction in off-topic posts :xcahik_: ) but my activity has dropped tons recently. This is for several reasons:

1) Got a job (finally!).
2) LOTRO.
3) Finally realised what I knew all along, that I absolutely despise these games.

Obviously number 3 is the main reason. I just find zero enjoyment in either playing or modding the games any more.

So I am officially leaving BFME modding, after almost 2 years and absolutely no contributions to this wonderful community. I'll still visit once in a while, mainly to give my unwanted thoughts on lore matters but that's it.

Good luck with your modding projects to all the members here I respect (should know who they are without me making a list).

Playing games? Ah, you'll never be a good modder if you get involved in actually playing them!

It's a shame to see one of the figureheads of the new-generation-T3A leave. Even though you say you didn't contribute to this community, I say your contributions are beyond measure. One doesn't need to found a lot of mods or write hundreds of tutorials to be a good community member.
All the help you gave will not be forgotten so easily.

Have fun with others hobbies for now, and who knows if we won't see you return (fully) one day :xcahik_:

I'm sorry to see you go zimoo, but I don't think you've given yourself enough credit. You are a well respected modder here as well as the resident lore master, and you've definately contributed. You just never publicized your work as much as the rest of us :xcahik_:

Have fun with life and see you around!

ahem I mean, you're underestimating your contributions Zimoo.

And that does not include all the fine replies you've provided the forums with all along. Your name isn't present on many a mod's readme for nothing ;)

You'll always be welcome here ;)

heh, that reminds me of a dummy I know ;) and there's hope for me too ;)

Anyways... I'd never thought you'd make a topic zimoo.... I'd thought you'd just bail out, without further ado ;)
Anyways, have fun with yer job, yer LOTRO, and your zero lack of fun in BFME ;) (heh, I don't enjoy the games either ;))

Gosh!? ;) One of the real anchors of T3A is leaving? ;) But... I understand. Interests come and go, and I doubt I'd be here for ever too :s

Don't forget though, you HAVE contributed a lot, at least for SEE ;) and I thank you for that. Have the best of luck with your new job and future life Zimoo. Nice knowing you =')

You are a well respected modder here as well as the resident lore master, and you've definately contributed


But I hate the loremaster class in LOTRO, couldn't you call me the resident (book) guardian or something? ;)

yeah right, you're just too *** addicted to LOTRO to visit this place any more


Probably true ;)

Your name isn't present on many a mod's readme for nothing


I can only think of a few readmes I am present on, and all of those are for my 5 minute copy and paste models ;)

tell us how it should be in real middleearth


I don't know this 'middleearth' you speak of ;)

offtopic is lotro any good


Yes. I personally wasn't interested in MMORPG's at all, but ever since I first played it I've loved it ;)
