Some of you may know me, some may not. My main account is Owl. I've been playing Ely off and on for over two years. I've always loved the server and enjoyed spending time on it. Since getting my current job, I've been working quite a lot. I haven't been able to be online as much these past several months which is why I'm sure a lot of people may not recognize me, unfortunately.
I think right now I'm in a place where I think I need to take a break or leave Ely. At the moment I'm leaning towards leaving. My main reasons are: work, need to focus on my real life more, and just lack of things to do in Ely that keep me going.
My main thing to do in Ely was skilling but once I hit 5b xp, I kinda hit a wall. I started bossing but that didn't last long. I'd try and help people out as much as I could, do hide and seek games here and there, do giveaways, etc. Now I'm just at a lack of things to keep me wanting to get on. I attempted to do a skilling service to help people get to certain levels or xp in skills. I helped two people which was a lot of fun for me.
Having been promoted to Support not too long ago, I've felt the responsibility to get on as much as I could on my free time to help out more. I've been honored to get the position, but at the same time, any time people have requested help or had questions there always seems to be at least one or more people online that are also willing to help. I'm not saying that the support role isn't necessary but there are definitely enough players on that are always willing to help, which is one thing I love about the server.
I think my leave will be good for me and I don't think it'll effect the server much at all if any. I'll just be a distant memory to those who actually knew of my existence haha. I'd say I'll still stick around on discord but honestly I basically only use discord for Ely. If anyone would like to keep in touch, feel free to send me a pm on discord (owl#8045).
I won't say I will never return but more than likely if at all, it won't be any time soon. I will miss those I've had long deep conversations with and helped each other out with things in game. I love Ely and it's been a nice part to have been a part of in my life.
