Thinking about taking few weeks/months off myself.  Work is getting busy here at SCEA and I've also become hooked on Planetside.

CPP will bring you back!
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Has Planetside reached open beta yet?  They accepted my application, but nothing else has come of it yet.

I'm in the EVE Online beta AND Star Wars: Galaxies.  Can't wait for Planetside!

Might as well change the title of this thread to: "When springtime meets 9 months between updates."

April and May have traditionally been the "I quit" months in that it seems "wow... a lot of people are leaving" posts start to pop up this time every year.  Its not a perception, its real... people do tend to leave more during this period.

Combine that with the common phenomina of "Its been 3 months, where the hell is our update!" having to endure 9 months of no updates... and you might as well get used to the notion that these types of posts are going to start happening alot.

And... to make things simple... you can just check one of the following:
  • "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
  • "You'll be back"
  • "It was great flying with you, good luck in whatever you do!"
  • "Your incessant ramblings on channel 1 will not be missed"
  • "I wonder if Brian Boytono would quit too."

Haven't had time to play in almost a week. I tried one evening but comp crashed. Maybe tonight, if I don't just crash on my bed when I get home. But I'm not quitting, cause soon I will have loads of spare time and a mor epowerful comp ;)

I have also witnessed this cycle over the past three years.  

In my case, I'm not complaining, I'm not wondering where the next update is, or anything else (nor are you accusing anyone of such)... but when ya lose interest, ya just gotta run with it.  Last night I spent all my perks before cancelling.  It really wasn't as fun as I expected it would be to HO a carrier with a 262.  Laser acks still seem to be more accurate at high speeds :D  (And dogfighting in a 234 was horribly unsuccessfull)

I'll be saving 15 bucks a month... I can buy more booze now :)  Summer is right around the corner and there'll be plenty of other things to do.

I doubt there will be a mass exodus, so HTC will still be around when I plan to return.  :)

I'm pretty bored with AH as well. When the golf courses start opening around here (April 30th is the target for my club), I'll probably stop playing.

Oh, and cya oct. :D

I think I’ll go with:

“It was great flying with you, good luck in whatever you do!”

And...

“You’ll be back”

You’re a pretty busy guy Oct with all the sports and personal life interventions.  Things do get a bit stale I will admit.  I look forward to flying with you again and wish you the best of luck.  There is more to life than AH which you are already well aware of.

Being one of the more personable and popular members of the community, thanks for letting us know.
