Balaam

I have stopped playing KoL now (for several life reasons) but from the first day I started playing to the last one, it was a really fun time.

Just wanted to say thank you Jick & Skully for so many years of new content, laughter and "OMG-We-have-to-find-every-single-content-of-this-new-zone" nights (insomnia much?).

Also, I wish the post was at 11 points so I could say that it's ridiculous. It's not even funny...

EDIT: I'd also like to add that I feel like any person reading this IAmA that has never played KoL will find some of our inside jokes absolutely absurd.

EDIT2: (I can't stop having new ideas for this "thank you note"). I'd also want to thank you both for shaping my English sense of humor. English not being my first language and all... Seriously, I recorded an increase of laughter of 70% since I started playing it! (I sound like one of those cheesy ads with quotes taken out of context)

"You feel both ashamed and powerful, although a genius dwarf mocks you everywhere you go while you hold this sword."

An English speaker is me!

*hugs and jazz hands and stuff

I have heard a lot of people say that. I think it is due to the fact that a vast majority of KoL players play the game for the "fun" aspect of it, and not for the "grinding" and "competitive" aspects.

The second aspects are viral in many other MMOs and it shapes the "community" in those to an ugly thing...

Hesitation and fear of screwing up have probably stopped a lot of good people making a lot of good things through the ages...
