This week I've taken most of the final steps towards removing myself completely from the Three Kingdoms (a MUD for those who don't know what it is). For those of you curious about my reasons, they can be found here......

You'll be missed on there. :-/ *hugs*

I guess it's a good thing for me that it's highly unlikely I ever reach that high of a level... I can stay in the mid-ranges forever. :P

Hey Dayln,

Ryft here. I left for much of the same reasons as well as just simple time constraints. I'm around if you need to vent. It's a tough decision to make, but those problems just won't ever go away; and once one realizes that, the options are to either stay and put one's own head in the sand or to leave. I got tired of the arbitrary "balance issues" too.

Seems to be a very common theme these days, stretching from wizards to players. People I least expected (like myself and Pat, Shadowhawke and Anya etc) have all reached a point where head in the sand just isn't working anymore.

It's a shame, but when I think of 3k, my memory brings back the 3k or approx 7 years ago...that one makes me smile :)

It really is a shame. Think of what would happen if we didn't have things like AIM and LJ to keep us all in touch? :(

Thanks for taking the time to reply Rasta, and for signing your name. You say a lot of good things but I want to rebutt or comment on two things specifically. When it comes to taking it as a job or a hobby... when I'm attacked for how I am spending or "wasting" my time on the mud.. or I'm told what I can or can't do in other online communities because I represent 3k, then it isn't me who has turned it into work. And no, you've never done that, but it has been done. Don't take this the wrong way but on a day in, day out basis what percentage of the "work" on 3k gets done by someone who has 3k as a "job". There are things that only you or another admin can do (especially those with hardware access) but 90% of the rest gets done by a Titled wizard, most of the times one who is told to do it and it has to be done quickly. Ask yourself what would happen to 3k if only those who have 3k as a job, did the work ( ... )

Hey all, I just wanted to add my two cents. As a wizard I was very excited to be a coder and part of the game administration. I took pride in the fact that I had played for so many years and was able to give something back to 3k. In total, I coded seven areas, and was a rather active wizard. As far as the cheating goes, I admit that as a very young player I did abuse some bugs. Eventually I either reported the bugs or was punished for using some. As a wizard, I was never involved in any cheating activities. I was proud of the fact that I was a wizard and never would have jepordized that for anything. Unfortunately, my choice of friends has not always been great. About 5 ears ago, I was removed from being a wizard because some of my friends had been doing cheating. I was not involved in any of their activites, nor was I aware of it. I was not given any opportunity to defend myself.. poof. In any case, due to my association my wizard character Distortion was deleted. I say again, I was never involved in any cheating activities as a ( ... )

As an append to my last post. The exact reason I was wiped as a wizard is because Seiger (wargod) was patching my friend gxp. Everyone associated with Seiger (this included me) was removed. That is why Distortion the wizard char was removed. The second time I was deleted was as hibba a mid to high level fremen. At one point they believed that I and Siv were the same person, but we are best friends in real life. Siv was getting patched xp/gold with the help of Circe/Razic and Wargod/Seiger. They somehow had a wizard character and were creating a wizard tool that let them modify a monster. I was deleted because, firstly that I was part of the crew. Secondly they believed I had received a few million coins illegally, but that turned out to be false. The ending reason I was deleted as hibba was, when everything when down I denied knowing anything about their cheating. I lied to the admin and was deleted. In retrospect, that was a very bad decision, and I can understand that I did infact lie to the admin. So again, the reason my wizard ( ... )
