Dear Blizzard,
I want to thank you for the Season of Discovery. I want to thank you for bringing back the joy that I originally had when I played world of warcraft for the first time. The leveling, the excitement around questing, wearing a Shirt (made by Shirt), and the sheer amount of people RPing and PVPing was incredible. The world events, while buggy at times, also restored a sense of depth in the game missing for years. Thank you for allowing me to create a new guild and establish a new wonderful friend group on Chaos Bolt. Phase 1 and 2 really was quite a joy and the leap of faith you guys took in making such a spin off from Classic - really was worthwhile.
Dear Blizzard,
I want to tell you I am deeply saddened by the choices you have made. I almost resent you guys as a company and hate ever giving Season of Discovery a try. Choosing a realm, establishing a wonderful character name, and forging unbreakable bonds - these were the choices I was told I could do not wrong with. Sadly, you as a company collectively broke that promise and chose to exterminate the very thing that brought joy to so many in the RP-PVP community. Instead of fostering and bolstering the community Chaos Bolt had developed… you struck it down with a bolt of miscommunication and over-reaching ideals. Thinking our player base would have asked for this in anyway, shape, or form… was misguided.
Dear Blizzard,
I hope you learn and grow from the mistakes you have made as a company. I hope you are able to keep your promises in the future. I hope you are able to remember that there are human beings that play your game. We are not simply sacks of blood that dish out money. We are not simply angry orcs or bald gnomes in a fantasy world running aimlessly with no thoughts.
Dear Blizzard,
I hope in the end, you reconsider the actions you have taken to Chaos Bolt someday. Opening the server back up to Character Creation and allowing players to transfer to it… I think you would see a surprise at the end of the tunnel. It is the season of discovery after all right? Why not let the experiment run wild… and if for some reason this is not plausible. Opening the server up to transfers to Living Flame or Lone Wolf would save the player base trapped in the shadows of the realm you are so hellbent on destroying.
Needless to say.
I love and I hate - Everything you have become.
Thank you to all the Chaos Bolt players I have met this year. Thank you to the community we have developed. I will be here until the server dies.
May it be far, far, FAR, away.
Chaos Bolt Forever.
