I failed to explain why I was āleavingā last I was here. I think I ought to clear that up.
There are a multitude of reasons for why Iāve decided on this but it only boils down to two main things.
[details=Reason One]I donāt believe that anyone has seen me as being a patriotic person, but I can assure you I am. With the passing of these recent events in real life this urge has only become stronger. ā That being the domestic terrorism in America and the seemingly annual flooding where I live. (2016) ā
Iāve decided that I will enlist in the military when I am of age, which is during 2019. This means that I am going to spend lots of time preparing myself beforehand. Physically and mentally. Iāll be serving in the Air Force National Guard for those that are interested.
I felt like this is the right time to say this because of Hurricane Harvey next door; Texas isnāt the only one taking a hit, Louisiana is gonna feel it too. I say this because one of the duties of the National Guard is dealing with natural disasters and such.[/details]
[details=Reason Two]The second reason? Well, it has been a life long goal of mine and I am going to make it a reality now that I have the means to do so.
I am making a game. We are making a game.
There are six members on the team including me and one here on the forums. (I wonāt name em, if they want to be known they can say it their self.)
I refuse to provide any information on the subject though, it would ruin the reveal.
The only thing I will say is to watch out for āTormentā[/details]
And even with that being saidā¦ I will still be on the forums in a sense. I think itād be impossible for me to drop it entirely, for now at least. Iāll only really be checking my notifications though, so if there is something ya want me to see @JawsJakt.
And as a final note: Of all the games Iāve expended time into, Realm of the Mad God has remained my favorite since. Iām glad I was able to spend time with like-minded people here on the forums and in-game, truly.
Existence is futile~
So make it last.

Hereās my life in realm:
Ah, realm. You took over my life back in 7th grade. I was astounded by such a wonderful game; a game that reminded me of minecraft, a game that gave me a rush of dopamine whenever I fought a boss, a game where I could interact and work with others (haha) to accomplish the impossible. My obsession sparked when one day, I saw a brown loot bag on the ground. As I hovered over the item, I saw a pale, gold sword- a dsoul. When I saw the tier level, I jumped up with excitement; I would be invincible with my dragonsoul and my mithril chainmail! Only an hour later I died on a warrior as I exited the game, feeling dejected. The next day was the same process. A verdant bow! Equip with my roc leather armor. Not caring to dodge the bullets and dying once again. So began my obsession of realm of the mad god.
As I continued to play daily, I learned many of the norms. Scamming, calling dungeons, bragging about your drops, etc. I was fascinated. The thing is, I never seemed to improve. I got frustrated that I didnāt get good gear, until one day I visited Uswest3. Never had I seen so many people in the nexus- I was shocked. But why were they all typing in the chat so quickly? This lead to my discovery of merching- and my new āskillā of it. I was sucked into merching; one def into 2 ubhp? Nothing. Unfortunately, it took an extremely long time to spam the chat and find a good deal.
At this point, realm had began to take over my life. I dreamt of it, I played it whenever I had free time, and when I couldnāt, I watched videos on it. Cue the transition to high school. Being an asian student with high standards, it was horrible to see my grades drop for the first time in my life for both me and my parents. But my addiction did not end. I continuously told myself, ājust 20 more minutesā. Look at the clock after some time, 2 hours had passed by. Even worse, I started to lie to my parents about doing the homework while playing realm. I started to play realm into the night, and I got on average 4-6 hours of sleep.
My social life started to go downhill as well. I guess I started to become like the majority of the realm community (No offense), and I became a huge introvert. Before I was a fun person to be around, but now I feel like everyone feels uncomfortable around me. My social skills overall decreased, I lost almost all my friends and in the midst of all this, I started to gain weight.
Even after this time, Iām still a noob at realm. I havenāt finished any of the hard dungeons, or soloed anything. Iām still a blue star, which is quite sad, but understandable (I play only melee 
).
I donāt quite know the reason why I made this post; mostly because I loved this game so dearly for so long. Realm legitimately has been the best game I have ever played in my life, but itās time to leave now. Iām a sophomore in high school and I donāt have time for this game anymore . The community, although sometimes obnoxious (Jk), is awesome. I will miss all of you, and please donāt fall into the same trap I did.
If you went through this whole thing, thanks. I hope you learned something 
. Sorry itās all over the place, I winged the whole thing with mixed emotions. Good luck to everyone in life! See ya around!
Peace,
Luchadrago

@Luchadrago @Clactipede
Its greatly appreciated guys, seriously.
@Curlip
With the current members on the team I donāt believe weāll need any outside help for a long time. I know what they are capable of and I doubt I could have chose anyone better than them for this.
If we need additional people Iāll reach out to who I believe is exactly what we are looking for, as I did before.
Iāll keep posted on the game sometime after my bootcamp in 2019.
