I’ve spent the last three days getting my affairs in order, but I just logged off of my goofyspouse account for the last time a few minutes ago. My emotions are mixed, but the site really did stop being fun for me and I just plain needed to go.
My final act was removing my 134k+ Bottles of Black Sand from my safety deposit box and putting them into my inventory. This is some additional insurance against ever coming back, as there is NOTHING one can do to access items when there are that many.
Anyway, as promised, here are some screenshots of that event:
The first shows the items in the SDB. I couldn’t take them all out at once. It would, however, do 20,000 at a time.
The second shows my inventory page with the item count. Note that no images even display. I couldn’t see a thing.
The third is me trying to type into a BD Chat board letting everyone know that I tried QuickStock, but it locked up tight trying to display it. I tried several times and it never would load.
Farewell, everyone. My advice for those who may care: Don’t do things out of habit. If they are no longer fun, stop doing them.
Well said Ray. I’ll respect your decision to go, but it’ll be weird not seeing you and your clever touches on the BDC anymore. Good luck in real life
