Yes, you read the title right. I, IthronAiwendil, am going to retire from BfME modding. There are a couple of reasons why I'm doing so:
- My mod, Wars of the East, is finished now
- I have no motivation to start working on another version of it
- Modding has been extremely time consuming, and I no longer want to waste that much time on the computer
- I want to concentrate on other things in life

Anyway, modding has been very enjoyable, dispite the large number of bugs that I've faced and the amount of time I've had to spend on this project. It's great that many of you have supported me and given me some motivation; otherwise I don't think I could have made WotE as big as it is now :D

I won't be leaving the forums completely, I might come here once a day or so to see what's going on in the modding world. Ill also try to get the new site finished before summer and I might even release some WotE models/skins for everyone to use.

So, I hope that you all liked WotE and will play it every once in a while in the future too :wink_new:

See ya!

It's bad to hear that you are retireing, but I can see your reasons. It is still amazing to see how far WotE has gone, and I'm really proud of this :p

Ithron, it was an honor to work at your side. I wish you the best luck for your future :crazed:

PS: I wonder what will happen to WotE now... will it be moved to the "Hall of Glory" or something :p ?

"Well, I can't argue with that - modding IS hard. But what would have become of games like Starcraft, Warcraft 3, Dungeon Siege, Half-Life 1-2, Neverwinter Nights and BfME 1-2 if we, modders, weren't there ? They would have long been forgotten. Modding is hard, but it's an honorable thing." - MorrisB

As long as the forums are still active, it will stay here. After a while it will probably be moved to the Archive.
