Hardcore Happenings

Retired!

This is just the official announcement.

I'm retired. Why? Maybe it was my new job. Maybe it was the game changing so much (less funny, more gamey). Maybe I just lost interest. Maybe it was NS-13. Maybe it was the fact that so many old players had gone and so many new players had come.

It's of no importance, really. KoL has been a game, and more importantly a community that I've enjoyed being part of for the past few years. I'll still be there, visiting on occasion. Maybe banning a spamming noob for old time's sake. I just won't be playing the game at the high performance end like I used to.

Which also leaves this blog, which started as an experiment to document a hardcore run and ended up being a tool for me to really hone my ascension skills, without a clear purpose.

I've decided to officially wrap up this blog. If you've ever read it, I hope you at least enjoyed my prose. If you read it now, I suggest skipping it as source of gameplay tips and only browse it if you're interested in how the game was played before NS-13.

Keypunch out. See you in the chats!
