In all seriousness, it's been fun and I'm very grateful to have been able to play such an amazing game. Problem is, I have a hard time quitting once I start, and that takes too much time away from the other things I need and want to be doing. I'd determined that regardless of outcome, this last character was going to be it for me. It was (for me) a good run, though my character died fighting the much-stronger-than-anticipated Grand Corruptor at level 31, and didn't even make it to the East.

Maybe it's better this way -- to end on a personal high note, but without coming so close to the end as to be left thinking the outcome would have been any different "next time."

Farewell, and you'll be back

From my experience this is very true! TOME is a game you can come back to, it doesn't get outdated and at the same time it's still developing. I've gone through at least a couple cycles of playing a lot, leave it, come back and see what's changed, get sucked in again, finally WIN! etc. Someday, say in a year or so, you'll be bored, you'll say, "Hey, I wonder what's going on with TOME? Oh, orc campaign? Steampunk? Do tell..."

True true. I've been coming back to rogelike every second or third year or so - since I started some 20 years ago... Once bitten, the @ will lurk back in your mind and some time - when you are bored - it will lure you back...

I have also left TOME.

I'll return when I kill heroic Garrosh Hellscream

Garrosh is a wussie, Basic Campfire for Warchief ! :3

I haven't played for nearly half a year and yet I still keep checking back in wait of a new patch...
