Truly sorry to see you go, Jasche. I can think of precious few players who equal your ability to maintain dignity, decency, respect in even the most contentious forums.

Jasche, now is the time as a newly married man time set up your life in front of you with the bride! Go have fun, get some perspective, tour with the band, then when everything is calm again, come back and say hello! Not farewell, just until the next time!

Farewell mate, well played. Good luck on your future journey, Illy will remember you well for the remainder of its existence.

Good luck for the future Jasche, truly a very sad day for Illy to loose a respected man.
I'll try to ignore Kumo's and TD's attempt to turn a simple farewell post into another slanging fest.

Try reading next time. He took the opportunity to try to get his last forum licks in and I couldn't let such a blatant untruth stand. If he didn't want discussion, he could have kept it to a farewell only post instead of trying futily to make some final political hay...

If a "simple" farewell spanned a whole page how much would he write if they ever give him a prize and he has to make an "elaborate" speech .?.
Edit:
Prize, not price ... oops

Sad to see you go Jasche.. But there are times in real life that are more exciting than games.
You are such a dear person and s
omeone now deserves your time and attention more than Illy.
Go happy and come back happy again some day!

A respected and long time Illy player is entitled to an elaborate speech...I'd expect it from any such player..including Kumo (if he ever left). :)
I'd be disappointed if he only said " I'm leaving...goodbye "

The reason I am leaving is that I am tired of the game and it is taking more away from life than it is giving. [...] the constant checking of the account, daily answering of mails and sorting out of issues has taken its toll [...] also the fact that the game has become a grind... harvesting, trading and war have all moved the game towards Time x Money = Success.

Those were my reasons too, you said it spot on, thanks. And I'd add: not introducing tools to deal with that increasing complexity, like for instance a dashboard page, but much more should be made available to increase playability. Pity, because I would have probably stayed,at least a while longer... but like you said
it is after all, a game |
indeed!
Cheers! <S>
