This account is merely a guise for another player you may have known once before. Some people know the secret, but that's not the point.
I've been playing since May of 2005. I've seen many iterations of MxO, and believe me when I tell you that these are the toughest times of the game and the most dull. I created this account a while ago (August-September) and still haven't updated it to level 50. My old account has been lost, and with it three years worth of info, items I grinded for, and an FM-1500. I have no motivation anymore.
Since the holiday update everything has been very quiet. The forum is only now populated by trolls, people who want to make a name in lights for themselves, and mods a mod. I'm tired of it, and I'm not going to pay 15 bucks a month to grind the items I can get, and leave the items I'm not interested in (which are none of the items I can get this update) then sit around Mara for 5 additional weeks. The cinematics are okay, but while Rarebit may be an up and coming (starving maybe? How much does SOE pay anyway?) artist, but he's not the 20 Korean slave children SOE hired once before to work with a storyboard. Everything, everything is now sub-par, and no longer excellent.
I once said I'd never leave MxO, so I guess you can say I lied. I might be around in a year to grind a year's worth of content in about a week, decide it's no fun because none of my friends play anymore, and leave again, but who knows.
I am here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/thejoey01 and I play the vidya (sometimes. College is tough). You should come play with me.
I am also here: http://www.fpsbanana.com/members/493195 and I make maps once in a while.
Adios.
