Alright well here is some bad news, I have officially quit can't and my chars bodies are probably flopping around as I write this. This was a hard decision to make as I really did grow to care about them and I don't think it is a joy that can be recovered. The decision came after reviewing the options I have now and the fight I have ahead of me. Once the four days are up ill list some names and details about some of them, and just wantd to thank all the people that made this a great game.

He WILL be back in the future. But right now he has more important concerns and the inability to keep up with the game while recovering.

Yes, eventually I may return, but that is not possible within the forseeable future. Believe me, this was in no way easy for me and was a decision I hated making as it wasn't truly even mine to make.

Since the time has passed, here is a listing of some of my charries that I really enjoyed. I had this account running for close to 4 and a half years, and I am still feeling the resentment of letting it go.


Terrance "Moocow"

This was my oldest of the characters, one of my first that I started when I came back. He also grew to be one of my favorites mainly because of the diverse life he had. Regardless of the events that had transpired in his life, the characters that he interacted with, both good and bad, made him fun to play all the way to the end.


Kraus Tellman

I know there are a lot of people that did not like this character, that think he may have been a little too extreme or excessive in his ideals and so on. I know there are many who think he was a horrible business man, and it was intentionally so since he was a fighter, not a trader and I had to reflect that, even though I saw a giant opportunity to gain greatly if I hadn't.
I do have to apologize to Lexi's player for the abrupt end, she was the one good thing that he felt he truly had left in his life and he really did care about her. It upsets me that they will never be married now, and once again, I really am sorry.


Doug Braki

Doug is another favorite, I don't think many people know him, but the ones he did know, he cared for greatly. He fell quiet in his later years, suffering greatly from depression and the inability to fully pull himself out of it. He had a great life sailing with the crew and will miss them all greatly.

Kuja

My Stone Knight, he was overly emotional and let his feelings control himself excessively in the beginning. Towards the end, he was learning to control those feelings and I really am sorry to lose him and the future he may of had.


I had a couple others that were minor, but enjoyable. I will post them a little later, their short lives not really comparable to the ones I had above, but still made their mark.

You always have had great chars...

And poor Doug... must've been the sheep... they work on your mind like that. lol Kinda glad my char was long gone by then, though I miss her sometimes.

Take care and recover well.

Thanks guys :)


Once I get well enough to be able to log in consistently again, I will be creating a new account and doing this all again, although it will be quite difficult as I will miss the hell out of my old charries.

This is just a great example of how well the game can be even with all its faults. The characters you create take on a life of their own and when it ends, you just don't want to let go.

It's too bad that you had to quit, although I do understand. Get better soon, and one day return to playing Cantr.

It is possible to have your timed out account reactivated. While your characters will still be dead, you can keep your ID and your info will include some of the information about your old characters.

Thanks for that suggestion, I will ask them if I can have the account activated and sit while I recover :)

If not then it is still okay as it doesnt take long to get accepted either, but it would be nice to go back and look through all the old names!

I totally agree on that. I'm pretty much dependent on mine too.

Best of luck to you!
