So Long And Thanks For All The Fish ...

<div class="IPBDescription">Adieu and thanks for all the games.</div> Well the time has finally come, I've hung up my NS playing boots and moved on as we all have too eventually.

I just wanted to say farewell and thank you to the coders and the commuinity for a great half life mod and many many (too much of my life to count <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->) hours of fun.

My reasons for moving on are simple, I've played NS to death and now feel the need for something fresh and new (dont flame me for this <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->).

My history with NS is that I started an NS community site and my first server in November 2002 when I first discovered 1.04 (NS tore me away from cstrike into something much more intriguing). Since that first server I have gotten through two more servers (now on server 3) and formed a community membership of over 200 players many of whom became regulars/admins or both. Unfortunately our final NS server runs out in a little over a month and we wont be renewing its lease as it spends much time empty of late and is no longer viable. Many of you have played on TheHaven servers in this time and I hope you've enjoyed the ride. I've enjoyed it and felt that the time put in to make them a fun place to be was worth the effort <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Many thanks to you all, its a wonderful mod and I wish Flayra and the team good luck in their future endevours.

TheHavenNet will continue to exist but will cease to be quite so NS centric as we broaden our horizons and move onto different things.

Kind Regards

Haven

    Completely understood Haven, and a shame to lose an op. I know a lot of the op base has felt similar recently, asking around.

    Hope you'll be pulled back again soon. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I always enjoyed the haven servers, sad for you to go, but I understand, hope you come back sometime.

    That's sad. I had some great games on your server.
    I hope you keep an eye on the progress of NS, so maybe future releases draw back your attention and make you reconsider your decision.

    They all come back after all <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Remember playing there at times; nice playing once you got over the initial "force-team" ****-off-feeling. Remember not to shout to your mic that much next time something is going awry. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    TheHaven server was the very first server I played on in NS 1.03/1.04 (forget which)... I used to live on those servers. got recruited into my first clan on there...

    Shame to see you go, and best of luck with the future. Will undoubtedly see you around at some point <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    i remember the have from back in the 1.04 days.
    i used to play there every now and then.

    I'm gettig bored with ns now too :/


    one thing i don't understand is how all the CS junkies can so mindlessly play the game solely and nothing else, it just gets so repetetive, NS is almost getting repetetive, but it's still varied <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Playing high skilled clan wars changes your opinion of a game greatly. It's no longer the game itself, but the teamwork and playing with friends that makes it so much fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well CS anyway, I have yet to join a clan in NS.

    Don't worry thats perfectly normal. Every game gets boring someday. Just play something else for a month or two (I recommend Söldner-secret wars gread tactic shooter! Has a commandermode too.....) and its big fun again. Trust me.

    I am really annoyed that this has happened. The number of populated servers in the UK has dropped dramatically.

    We need to find out why this is happening and fix it.

    Try using more game changing plugins... There is demand for such, gorgelaus plugin shows that clearly..
    Game can be made more fun to play with small little tweaks, it's beta anyway, so why don't try few things before next version is released..
    Unchained chambers, superelf's plugin for huge server, resource balance plugin can all make game more fun and more "new" again..

    i need to say this..

    y does everyone find it necessary to make a farewall topic...?

    i know may seem appropriate at the time, but i see another new one each week, and most of the ppl have returned the next beta.

    Haven is different he put up a very good server where many people learnt NS so he has the right to do so.

    Yeah if u have contributed to the community so much that a pretty big percentage of people know who you are then its fine. Someone like me.... well I'll never leave this forum even when i stop playing ns <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
