Saying Farewell to LOP
Let me start by saying it has been fun!
At first I was going to write about all the things that took the joy from the game for me…then I realized that’d be an inefficient use of my time.
Instead.
I will write about the one thing that made the game fun for me.
The server chats! Yup, that’s right. Looking back at all the battles, all the trash gamer-talk, the in-game espionage (such as players making multiple accounts on the same server and infiltrating different guilds to get information on them), and all of the funny moments really put a smile on my face.
While LOP was originally just a time-filler while I was on vacation, the server chats and the sisters in those chats were the thing that truly sparked the ultimate gamer-experience!
I don’t know about y’all’s servers, but the sisters in my server were all amazing. Dramatic? Yes! Competitive? Absolutely YES! lol. But amazing nonetheless and I learned so much from everyone.
My favorite side quest was the “friends to enemies…then the enemy trying to re-friend” adventure. I genuinely live for game dramatics! And the server chats ALWAYS SERVED!
Being able to talk, win, laugh, and lose with all of these wonderful people really made my days. Of course like many things, this too slowly disappeared when the game itself started pushing its “pay more get less” agenda forcing players into an “abusive gaming experience”.
That’s something I absolutely won’t participate in. When a gaming company has no respect for its players they show it just as Modo has. And I don’t believe they’ll ever change.
Today I woke up wanting to NOT log in. Which is my default sign that a game has run its course for me.
And it has.
After the last event of this cycle (GUILD EXP event). I will log off, never to log into LOP again.
I don’t know what game is on the roster for me next, but I’m looking forward to exploring all of them. Two of my Guild Sisters introduced me to “itch.io” yesterday, so I’ll be exploring the gamer-verse there as well as a few other places.
Thank you all, each and everyone of you who shared in this experience. I really appreciate your kindness and support while navigating this game. Who knows…maybe I’ll find a new game to get lost in, maybe I won’t.
I guess that too is the beauty of game lovers.
But to you, wherever you are, whenever you see this message, I hope you never lose your spark for a game and I wish you much success in your gaming adventures! 🖤
