Hello everyone,
I feel like this post has been long overdue on my part, but all good things must come to an end, and to an end it shall come to.
I first joined this community as a wee little boy at 2012. Young, gullible, and naive, I had just moved to Turkey. I was signed up to a private boarding school that was supposedly the best in the city, but I was struck with the bitter truth relatively quickly.
The people in the school were toxic; all were rich snobs who were to inherit their parents' wealth after they graduated. They had 0 manners, graded you by how expensive your possessions are, and were very harsh on those who were different. In this case, it was me.
I was bullied and casted out by my peers, and from 5th grade to the end of 10th grade, I continued to be a social outcast, the reason being that I came from a different country and that I wasn't used to the snobby behavior that they had grown up with.
I was basically that kid who sat alone at lunch.
OldCP was my coping mechanism for my immense loneliness irl. This place became my home, and every time I returned from a dreadful day at school, I'd immediately log on to OldCP to forget my troubles. And for a while, it worked. I built a completely new persona online, and day by day, I improved that persona to a state where people could trust me and that I would be eligible for ranks.
Throughout out my 5-6 years here, I gained many memories, some good, some bad. I laughed over this game. I cried over this game. I talked with people, argued with people. I listened to peoples' problems and told people my problems. It was far from a positive experience, but it was the social life that I didn't have then in my school, and I was happy to have it.
But as time passed, I started to lose interest. While it was partly because I had gained a big amount of the available ranks, and there was nothing fun to do left, the main reason was simple: I was growing up.
Now, I'm in 11th grade. I'm at a new school, surrounded by new people that are actually pretty nice people. I've formed new friendships, made new memories, and formed an entirely new social life that I previously never had.
Other than that, I've started studying for my Uni exam which is in 2 years. It's what you'd call the SAT's, but it's much harder and you don't get to use calculators. I have a completely new studying schedule which requires me to study for hours per day, something which I've never done before.
Now, I had been losing interest in OldCP since the end of 9th grade (leading up to 10th), but never quite managed to leave permanently. I guess I just needed that push.
11th grade finally gave me that much-needed push.
So, I have officially decided that 1 week from now, I will officially be quitting OldCP and all DSGHQ related services permanently.
I will still have Discord so you may contact me if you wish, but I will be leaving all OldCP and DSGHQ affiliated chats, with no intention to return.
We all have to move on at one point, and my time to move on has arrived and is long overdue. We're no longer what we were 3-4 years ago, and neither is the game.
I wish you all the best of luck in the times to come.
Sincerely,
Orbay
