I don't know where to begin. Well... I'll begin from beginning.
I didn't play for about two years (last my character was autodeleted at spring 2004, if I am not mistaken). So... soon as I found possibility to play CF, I rolled a "test-fun" character.

I've named him Niazuruzain. This name can be readed from the left to right and back. To make it more funny, I've picked a funny last name, based on (yes, guys, you guessed right!) ancient Abracadabra word.

I never planned to become emperor or even a dreadlord. When I've been telling Dulmisa and Cuucqa that I do not plan to take throne, I didn't lie.

I had lot of fun at the beginning, and less fun at the end. Praying 1,5 months almost every day for the lich quest and after that 2 weeks to meet cleric and finally loose items, regather them, stupidly loose them again, regain them and finally die... *shiver*.

But I am dead, and I do not regret it for three main reasons (this is my very very very subjective opinion, and yes, I admit, I'm wrong on every number):
1. Immortals, you made this game unfriendly for newbies or players that did not play for ages. You made a game of preps - the more preps you know, the better player you are. So, veterans and/or their friends that knows secret locations will always be 'better' than players like myself. Yes, at the end I've discovered two barrier locations, and even managed to gather barrier rods once per 1-2 weeks!
Perhaps I should find some elite players via ICQ or something, but OOC connections makes me sick... so I know only two guys that didn't play CF much longer than myself.

2. Nightgaunt. Flying to below underdark. Flying across the sea(s). It flies from no-recall areas - and it is totally sick. Especially if it's being sent by player, such as Razmorthin (you have a very little chances to survive).

3. Hunt. Well, it is dead - but I still cannot word or teleport. WTF did I fight it, what for was I killing it? It goes even into the air, following airform shapeshifters. No, no. It's not sick, it's by the design.

Anyways. This three reasons which really pissed me off and killed all fun that I had before.

Ah, I forgot entwine. Why the hell I cannot be rescued by anyone if entwined?? Ridiculous. Especially if you are entwined in battle cabal and cannot word out of there

Well, good thing that I didn't care much for deaths (except for last one in battle cabal. That was terrible).

Now, farewells.

EMPIRE:
Many many many many of you, and most of you I liked a lot.
Cuucqa, Dulmisa, Nivult, Serduk, Z-something (felar warrior), Grunlath, Ahzeed, Vesacha - you kept me playing. Otherwise, I would delete a long ago. Ahzeed... damn you, I've been looking forward to make you a shadowlord.
Strouth, keep it up, man. I hope you will be more lucky, than I've been.
Grurk, thank you for all the fun. I hope you enjoyed me, though I know, sometimes I've been disappointing you. Especially when I've had serious #### happening in RL and didn't care much for my deaths - I think I died five or six times during two days .
Khasotholas - thank you for that little hornet. I'd like to interract with you, but had strong feeling that you dislike me.
Zulg - why are you in Empire, btw? Seems you do not care for it at all.

MARAN:
I do not see any difference between you, acolytes, outlanders and... imperials. You act absolutely same, you do same evil things, you gang and have zero honor. This is weird - you are defenders of the light, or what? Disappointing. Especially when captain tells you '#### off' '####ing imperial bitch'. Well, that's your roleplaying, I suppose... *dismay*
Xilla - we had fun. From about 200 attempts of sleep spell I managed... yes, I think about 0. Why, I've no idea. 'Dirty lord's trick. I don't like lord's tricks' (c) Azrael. And I must agree with him

OUTLANDER:
Same as a couple of years ago, always teamed up either with marans, wither with battle. This is strange, since marans are suposed to protect mainly citizens and peasants, while you are supposed to destroy civilization, cities and such. So, why are you so friendly, is a riddle to me.

BATTLE:
Absolutely unnecessary cabal nowdays. I've just logged in and marans are chasing me; Dolza is waiting by the temple... I remember days of Shamino or Aaracocrus - my first caballed char was a rager, and battle was my favorite cabal. It's truly sad to see in what did you transformed.

TRIBUNAL:
Volicitry - bitch youreself I hated you IC and enjoyed your actions OOC. We had fun.
Falun - when I've meet you first time, and interracted with you, I praised heaves that you are not Empire. Because I would not be Emperor in such case But as Faltarn said - for foreigners it's damn difficult to roleplay. For me, at least, it's not easy - sometimes I just don't know how to express feelings of my character.

SCION:
Razmorthin - fearful player, yet mass logins and mass logoffs screwed the good picture. It's a shame that I never had barrier rods when we fought, yet I managed to... no, not to kill you, but to make you dead. Maybe even more than once
Chakru - very very nice talks we had. Enjoyed you.

EVERYONE ELSE:
Onaelith, you helped me a lot. You know how - good luck with your quest!

Zebulus - always felt bad about failing your task. Yet I truly never had time; when I tried to do the search, I've always been distracted by something, no matter what was that - in game or in RL.

Everyone else who I forgot or did not mention: well, my character just died, after about eight hours of gameplay. So my mind is shattered and brains do not function at all. I forgot most of you or have no strength to mention you, do not get offended!


Sincerely yours, Niaz.
