Well I think it's about time I should leave now...
Before I had this account:I have played pb2 since 2013 with a old toshiba laptop. I remember my very first account named "nghebrehiwet," in which I often played around in the level editor. The level editor felt so revolutionary as it blew my mind for a 11 year old. The way I look at life and my mentality has dramatically changed yet where I am now is not much different which is partly why I want to leave (I don't know what happened to this account).
Not long after I created my first account, I made another one called "ng126327." Looking back at that account, I had a pretty bad reputation of being a annoying 12 year old. That isn't to say I got nothing out of it, I had one of the biggest mental developments during that time. Surprisingly enough, I managed to be in [GSA] and [BOA]. I also had some really awful fan art that I made which i'm sure most people didn't take seriously.
The next account I made was "ngmaps;" I still had my second account during this time and I would pretend that those 2 accounts were seperate people (a lot of people got pissed off). The only real reason for this account was so that people would remember the name when typing in my map ID. These 2 account managed to last a while until something happened...
If you guessed the database crash, your correct. One of my biggest things I remember of pb2 was the february 16 database crash. I got very frustrated realizing that I couldn't get my accounts back because they didn't have a real email with the account. It was at that point where I was just about ready to leave pb2 until for some reason, I decided to make another pb2 account with a real email named "wreak."
The name "wreak" was the only name I made with even a slight effort and not the same "lEmMe mAkE aNoThEr AcCoUnT tHaT sTaRtS wItH ng." But at the same time, I misspelled "wreck" on accident (yes, imagine not being able to spell wreck at 13 years old). This account by far is the most successful in terms of map making and reputation. Without a doubt; I had some messy issues with clan members, other users, and staff that resulted in brief bans (which I deserved). Looking at the time I made this account, I was in 7th grade which was my lowest point in my childhood. Fights and being harassed was very common for me in middle school making me take some of my instability onto pb2. If you were to read my old posts, you can easily tell that I was a 13 year old. Lucky me, there are plenty of maps I still have which are by far my most famous and successful. As time progress for me, I continued to grow with my environment as a never ending quest.
I also have alt accounts that I can still access like "ouh" but I only use them to publish test maps.
Why am I leaving?:
I think the biggest reason for me leaving pb2 is to progress onto my life. By no means do I have a severe addiction to pb2 (at least not anymore). Infact, my interest in pb2 has weaken significantly this past year. The only reason why I played pb2 at all recently was because of the new update eric added. But the reason I say this is because I want closure here. I have played this game since I was 11 years old and now I am turning 18 in november 10. I am well aware that tons of people play video games after 18 which leads to my second reason.
I have other, more bigger goals to do now. No longer am I the confused skinny preteen who has a distorted view of reality and doesn't have a clue about what to in the future. I feel as though pb2 may take some of my time to achieve my passion in life albeit not as much as it use to.
My last reason is for me to live life more, its extremely common in gaming forums for people to spend their life here which doesn't improve themselves outside of whatever game they play. The reason why I was so general for this reason is because pb2 wasn't the only game I use to binge on. I have been bingeing on games for as long as I can remember and recently, this is the only time in my life (other being a baby) where I don't binge on any video games or even play them that much at all. Now I want to fully experience life with some fresh air.
"You will be back next week":
I am well aware that many people create essay long farewells only to come back shortly after, but I made my mind on leaving pb2. Once I log out, I will not log back in for good.
Conclusion:
I will officially leave pb2 for good now, thank you guys for all the crazy memories. So many ups and downs I can remember. And I know pb2 is a game but I did cry leaving this game. I found enough closure to progress on with my life.
Sorry for the bad grammer!
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SUPPORTING ME FOR 6 YEARS!!
