Hi, it’s BONK.
For the last time.
You may know me, you might have heard of me before, but most of you haven’t. This is my last post on Torn, I have finally decided to leave. And before you ask, no, you can’t have my stuff.
First, my Torn story…. Yeah blah blah who cares…maybe someone will read it I guess. I started playing Torn 2 weeks after my spouse Korado, who is my real life best friend. I showed him the ad for Torn back then, and after he tried it, I’ve joined too. I only played for a day and quit, but a year later, I joined back up and from there, I have logged on every single day for the past 1267 days. I met many great people, a few bad ones too, but it was great. It was something new to do, and Torn pulled me in like it has many others.
You might be wondering why I’m leaving the game. Well, there are a few reasons.
- I feel like Torn served its purpose to me. There is nothing exciting anymore about it, nothing feels new or improved, there isn’t much fun. The only reason I stayed at first is because of all the great people that I met.
- Recent updates made Torn so much less enjoyable for me. Instead of them being something that made spending time on Torn more fun, it makes Torn feel way more like some annoying chore, even if its just the little things. Some of you will know that feeling for sure.
- I want to change my focus in real life (yes, a Torn person has a life outside of it). I’ve got a great friend group, and I want to spend more time with them and not constantly check my phone for events or messages or whatever. It bothers me and I have finally decided to change it.
Now, there are some people I would like to thank for the best experience I’ve had. (I think) they are sorted by time I met them.
Korado – of course, without him I would never be here. He quit a year ago, and even the year before he didn’t play much. But with all the stuff we did together on Torn, it was awesome. Of course, we still go out drinking every week.
Hippie – from my first faction, Hippie really helped me become strong, do the right things and upgrades, helped with merits and everything, she has left torn out of nowhere sadly.
Faction Darkside and leader Tash – my first proper faction, they have helped me grow so much, even if it was for a very short time. Thank you, guys! I will never forget my first ever Ranked War with them, when we were selected for first ever testing!
kelfi – great friend over 3 years now, just a nice person to talk to, if I had any issues or ahem money needs, she was there to help me out anytime and trusted me. I really appreciate that
Faction Dead or Alive – My second faction, I have stayed there for a year, and ive met a lot of great people too. They took me in when I was very small, and they helped me grow a lot.
Gossip Club – So many great people in there, been a part for a long time know and we always have a good time.
Runa – another great person I met while playing, always a pleasure to talk to.
Faction PT-Calculated and the whole PT Family – so many amazing people here too, I couldn’t do it without you guys, been here for 2 years and it’s been perfect. I could not have asked for a better faction/family with better and cooler people. Ive talked more with some, less with others but I love them all.
Escensio Incursus - Great people, took me in for a month to do a few wars. Everyone is so nice and funny there.
Nightrise – Great person, a pleasure to talk to (and trade with). He helped me sort out all my stuff when I quit.
There are also some more people I want to mention, I know them and trust them, as they are good people:
Celesteela, Lollipop, The_Boss123, Skixx, LowLevelCarrot, Ghost_Helsing, Gem, Duke-Of-Torn, MayJailer, Wendy, Space, mxxx, SameSlo, bethink, jules, dlothar, Shrek, Oran, YoLlama, Lils, Jexxic, Wenno, cookdandbombd, Fexalan, Vrocks, DocDoge1011, ComaVision, Barry_Dylan, Biggles, Kaga, Lohkee, VladBull, CapMaster and everyone else I forgot.
These are just some of the people that made my experience in Torn better.
There are a few of my previous posts that might interest you, just some fun maths about the game. Here are the few best ones that might be worth your time, only a few minutes to read them (sadly images on them are no longer avalible, screw you Discord):
A weird way of making money
Fun with City Hall Numbers
How Expensive is Speedrunning Education?
How long would it take you to clean the dump?
The Longest Solo Chain You Can Do In 1 Day
Have fun reading these :)
All being said, this is it. It’s been nice, it’s been great, it’s been bad and everything in between. I have nothing more to say.
If anyone needs me for anything or talk to me, my Discord is: prozior
See you later, navigators
