[Major 3278]

Well I have just been informed that the Loremaster position has been abolished. It has been an interesting run, not really ended how I wanted it to but it is what it is. I was planning on coming back to staff this next weekend to start to write events for .63 but it looks like that is out the window. Thanks for having us guys, we never got the guidance from where we needed it most, but I made some great friends in my time here who I will go on to do more stuff with. It was pretty shit how things ended, and to even have to reach out for an answer as to whether I was even still gonna be LM after James got booted. I was offered a position as a moderator for my 1+ year of service as LM but I turned it down as I don't much care for being around on that side of things. I know how the system operates and figured I would eventually get rolled over too. This community is a shell of what it used to be and I don't recognize it as what it was not that long ago. 

I honestly don't foresee me playing or doing anything with this place anytime soon. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

Major, signing out for the last time.  

Spoiler

What have you achieved now you're old
Did you fulfill ambition, do as you were told
Or are you still doing the same this year
Should I give sorrow, or turn 'round and sneer
 

I know that the prospects weren't all that good
But they improved, and I'd have thought that you could
Have strived for that something we all have deep inside
Not let it vanish, along with your pride
 

Now with the aid of your new walking stick
You hobble along through society thick
And look mesmerized by the face of it all
You keep to the gutter in case you fall
 

I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
 

I, I, I, I

Goodbye Major! I will miss you! o7

Goodbye, my American/Texan ally, had a great time together in Svoboda and your lore was amazing. 

[Ronan 61]

Damn, dude. This fucking sucks : /, Major you've been around since longer than I can remember and you were a great LM, I'm sure you would've have been a great one once again had you been allowed to return. You were fantastic, good luck wherever you lead yourself. o7

 Sad to know LM isnt available anymore... 

Sad to see you go...

Everything seems to just be going weird... *Sighs* See you later Major!

[Dirty Dan 158]

What the hell, this upsets me so much. MAJOOOOOR NOOOOOOO. T_T This strikes me as a huge loss, not only are we losing Major, who has been a staple of this community for so long, but we're losing the Loremaster position as a whole too? This makes me so very, very sad.

o7 @Major, it's a shame to see you go bud. Was a pleasure discussing things with you whilst I was in staff, don't be a strange  

[Greener161 143]

Goodbye mate, had fun playing the times we did. 

[RileyChan 139]

I don't understand why the LM position needs to go away. People in that position have done some great work to improve the quality of RP here. Thanks for all your hard work.

o7 Major

o7 my man.

I was recently in a chat with a group talking about potential alternatives in the DayZ wasteland. Read some backstory of one server.

 

And I was like:

 

"Meh. This is nothing compared to what Major (and any other LM working with him, James, etc ... or basically those two guys) was able to put up. This can't be the right thing for me."

 

A notable thing that got me into the community is or was the lore. The irony is it technically has no to little actual imapct on the gameplay or server happenings. It's just text in a thread. But it gave way for all the head cannon that I found vital to immerse myself into the RP. You (not just literally you, anyone else being in the LM team, too) made it fun and immersive.

 

It's a real shame. Never forget your work though. Will keep you in mind for future endeavours beyond DayZ as lore and group creator.

 

There will be ample opportunities - if we all can manage to stay in touch. Might not be zombie apocalypse related, but we could recreate Chernarus in upcoming large-scale online games with Sandbox / building elements, for example, and flesh those faction(s) out with lore. If you're up for it, that is.

 

E: But yeah, big loss.

 

Big loss

You did the best you can do with the limited ressources and powers given to you and that I can salute to - o7 and good luck out there. 

[Eagle 3211]

I would have loved working with you during my GM time since your well spoken and easy to work with.
Shame this is what it has come down to and in all honesty, LM started to become just a filler for lore and nothing more once it was written you had no real power to do anything without asking GM+ to assist you which restricted you guys even further, take care bud.

[Fae 2383]

Major noooo 
I really dont understand why LM has been taken away, surely its what we need most?? 

[Limpan 139]

Goodbye Major was good to hang out with you the few times we did when i came back. 

One of the first ever friend and player i met in dayzrp mod.

Ill miss you and our random chats that always ended in laughter ❤❤❤

Thanks dad.

Fairwell major. I never really spoke to you however you put alot of work in on the law and you did a good job. Its sad to see you go but I hope you will be back sometime soon.

[Kain 637]

This is a really dumb decision, LMs worked just as hard and sometimes harder than other staff. Both you and PCJames helped build a world and without you, what will even become of the communities lore? Will it just be literally everyone making up their own story now, no continuity. Losing both you and James is heartbreaking to hear and I won't settle for it. You guys were some of the most hard working people and fun-loving people I knew and were extremely down-to-heart. #BringBackLM

[Joe 0]

You had a good run @Major,, you were one of my favorite staff members.

 

[DinoB 27]

rip you

[Oisin 364]

LM or riot?

[Chief 938]

As we all have said since day 1 @Major good job.

Now you can join me and return to the dust of the Cantina.

An untimely demise just the same, Reminds me of other times.

Keep it real, brother.
