FangBlade No Longer Number 1

Fuck it I didn't want to post but I will anyway.

I think they should have separated the 200- rankings from the 201+ ones. I can't believe that they didn't do it; KMS did it so why couldn't they? Most of you guys don't understand the dedication and the achievement that went into place for those who were in the very top 20 in the entire GMS. I know of a couple of people in this forum such as myself and [MENTION=920]Pixie[/MENTION]; who were in the top 20, and while I cannot speak for them I know for a fact that this change makes me quite sad. It's one of the only things tying me back from my original achievement years ago. I know you guys can't understand it but God damn it it means a lot to me. Sure, 200 is piss easy now but back then it was one hell of an achievement and you should have seen the amount of uproar over someone reaching 200; Nowadays no one even bats an eye if someone hits 200 since it's become so common but back then it was a great thing. Multiple posts on Sleepywood and Basilmarket were made just to congratulate someone who made it in the top 10.

My ranking is quite literally the only achievement I have left in this game and I wanted it to stay in place. Sure, it's silly for some of you but to me and many others it actually means something.

I knew clicking on this thread would make me feel slightly worse, lol.

[MENTION=5537]Locked[/MENTION]; & [MENTION=6263]Killed[/MENTION]; pretty much summed it up

Like others have mentioned I really hope there is some sort of separate rank freeze. By the looks of things there wont be one but fingers crossed there will be something to acknowledge pre-unleashed 200's and/or top ranked. I know it's just a game but honestly I think maybe some people would feel/see it differently if they were one of the people that were 'high ranked' in some way. I am definitely not as active as I was before and sure don't plan on it but it's very sad for something like this to be simply pushed to the side. Even though I have become somewhat distant from this game, as one of the people that were up there it was something I was proud of. I've made plenty of characters over the years and my Bishop was at the bottom of my list of fav classes to play but I still continued to log on it because it was something I was attached to and somewhat proud of. Even though I don't like what this game has turned out to be, like Danny said... it meant something to me. Oh well, what can you do now. All that's left are memories. Good luck to everyone else, don't let them milk you
