Chill out! Too much drama for such a little topic. :( He has played over a thousand games. He may have many friends/players that he wants to say goodbye.
Sometimes you may get fed up when you have played too much. It is good to take a long break then. Goodbye! Feel free to come back when you have the desire again. :-)
I agree with Ottoman, leaving Warlight is a personal thing, just message a few people that you think will miss you. My one friend, Neovim did that. He messaged about 15 people who has played the most with, said his goodbye. There was no reply from us because he said "Don't reply, Im never coming back so I won't see the message". This is the way you do it.
Not clustering the forums trying to get sympathy from people you played with like once before. Look how Hades came back. I gave him a month but he came back in a few hours.
The attention seeking is disgusting, this isn't facebook.
I have no beef with Hades, I don't think we've even played a game together. The only reason I'm on this thread is the trend of posting goodbyes on the general forums has gotten annoying to the point where I have to say something.
Fleece, although trash post should be left alone I have seen tons of posts where that is not the case. Like with that KarlGoldberg fellow and his holocaust didn't happen post. Which is also simply attention seeking
Nogals please. Apparently Ζευς had many friends on WL so I find it completely okay to make his retire public. As many people said above: Why do you waste your time replying?
