*tap* Is this on?

So, hello gentlemen. As some of you could probably guess from the title, this is a[nother] quit thread.
I don't really like drama (I actually hate it), but as I knew a status update message won't be enough writing space for ranting (which's like 95% percent of what I do), I thought of alternatives - and seeing some other people creating such topics earlier, I figured why the hell not.
So, yes, I...well, I won't exactly say "quit", but rather, put my account on an indefinite hiatus. A second one, in fact. [If I wasn't stripped of my "testing" account sometime earlier, now's the time.]
There are actually plenty reasons for that and it's long been coming (I was just too lazy to "officially" quit) - the main reason, however, is real life occupation (read: graduation exams and family affairs), however, being the nerd I am, I will most likely resume activity someday later. (Not until mid-summer at least, though, that's for sure.)

My account info tells me I've first registered here on 17 March 2012, which supposedly makes me a moderately old-fag NoScrubs member.
I do not have much to remember of my time spent here, however (I already stated I loathed drama, which if I remember correctly comprised ~80% of the worldchat/forums that time)...well, until I joined Pandora, at least. :D
Allow me to be bold when I say that Pandora is no shit the best guild I was ever part of in all MMOs I've played. The time I joined it in coincided with the era of Pandora's reign on the server, and everything I took part in then (mainly beating the hell out of something, be it players or world bosses) greatly entertained me and got me acknowledged with Iris as a whole (my retail experience is nothing compared to this).
Being a diehard fan of tanks (I still am), I felt pretty comfortable going with them anywhere as a ~70lv Knight, including battlefields, PvP skirmishes and world bosses (I guess that Lost Mysterion encounter has etched itself into my memory forever), so much that I actually abandoned leveling altogether (despite February raging at me for not being 75 after a month).
However, as with all guilds, at some moment Pandora slowly slipped into inactivity...and as I had nothing really left to do (I hate farming.), so did I.

At some unspecified moment about a haIf a year ago, I resurfaced again - and was surprised to see Pandora active once more. However, something had...changed - most noticeably, people. I remember feeling like "dafuq, where am I" while scrolling the member list, hah.
I never was an especially social player (while ironically playing a tank role - Idk, I enjoy invincibility), thus I was never really able to adapt to the new Pandora. With nothing that would tie me to Iris once again, I started to slip into inactivity once more...
...had it not been for Sedy.
I accidentally stumbled onto a development topic and, seeing an opportunity to offer my assistance, did exactly that - having a considerable gaming experience (MMO included), I decided to write an epic suggestion for...yes, them 3rd jobs. [I forgot to mention I have also volunteered to write the 1/2nd job skills' descriptions sometime ago - can't really remember] That was exactly the "motivation" I needed - I returned into full-fledged activity once more, this time on the forum as well (as you can obviously see). I actually leveled my Knight (unbelieveable), and with nowhere really to go there, several more alt characters.
I cannot overstate how proud I was when I finished it - not to mention when the Anniversary Update finally struck. (I got credits! :D) I'm incredibly happy I could actually do something for the community for all it gave me.
My activity continued some time after it, slowly subsiding, to the present moment.
I guess that's about it.

I'd like to repeat once more - take my word, I do not quit for good (I doubt anyone actually does :)), but I nonetheless must take a considerable break.
Thanks NoScrubs. You're the most most-est community I've ever encountered. Keep it going. :)

P.S. I'll go ahead and quote the badly-English-speaking myself a year back. I knew it all along, deal with it. *sunglasses*
I'm joining the people above me.
To be honest, it's been 4 days since I appeared here, but it's already seen clear that this community has it.
Maybe it's not too big, but size doesn't really matter to me. Moreover, it's usually loud and big communities that usually end up violently crashing down because of some big-ass leader's emo-mode, someone's patience running out, etc., etc. I've seen all that.
So I'd like to say big thanks to Sedy, Gala and all the NoScrubs staff for having time, patience and it to run this server. It's the awesomest (is that even a word? o.o) server of one of the best MMORPG I've ever played.
I sincerely thank you on behalf of all the Russian-speaking community here at NoScrubs and wish Sedy and Gala the best in doing whatever they'll ever be doing. You're awesome.


[i]Closing thanks/shoutouts go to:
Sedy for creating and maintaining Noscrubs, for accepting my suggestions and generally being the Godfather
Darcel/Galadriel for always listening and considering the people and for masterfully wielding banhammers
Pandora guild for providing me with the most amusement I ever had in an MMO; high-fives to February, Dreadlock, November, April, May, March, Gible, Elenora [did I misspell?] and others
(special mention: Vulcan for being the only drama queen I actually like. yes, that is a compliment

    I hope you at least continue posting on the forums as you are one of the few who posted with eloquence, intelligence and knowledge of what you were talking about whilst at the same time politely considering the opinions of others whether or not you agree with them.

    I wonder also if I knew you from my time in Pandora, if not then it was a shame not to have played with you and I hope to get that opportunity in the future.

    Good luck in your studies, exams and private affairs until next we meet.
