Elite Tuga -> RE: =OS= Beta Release Thread 155 - Read the first post! (8/6/2015 16:12:47)

Hi community & friends,
Just wanted to stop by and say hi as well as state my views/opinions on this current situation (MAYBE for the last time here, depending on what the future holds for OS without Nulgath after his evacuation). So please take 5 minutes to read.
The sad and expected..
This situation is obviously really upsetting (Nulgath leaving OS & AE), no-one was ever expecting this to occur (at least not at this time) as he is loved immensely around the whole of AE & was delivering exceptional animations content to our game(s) for over a decade. We were dreading to see OS completely lead-less (animating and coding perspective) but TBH we all knew that OS was going to come down to this profound struggle/pit stop, sooner or later as we only had Nulgath keeping the game some-what alive (which would eventually end catastrophically as 1 talented man is not enough to hold a business by themselves), so it's not a big surprise in how things have turned out, unfortunately.
SO this means OS is dead, right?
Yes currently, as hard as it sounds in my honest understanding by what I/others have read/written lately above and beyond. Artix and Nulgath may post to our HP/DN sometime soon and tell us exactly what will happen next. Keeping in mind with a very low % that this lack of Staff issue is only temporarily (hopefully), until we get someone else awesome enough to replace Nulgath and a voluntary/part-time Coder as well (for OS content implementation). What gives us the right to still have a very low chance of belief is that OS may still resume without Nulgath as he responded to one of our most loyal players the following: "OS will continue. I'm not sure who will be updating it though".
That said, We will just have to wait and see if really OS manages somehow in living on without Nulgath, it's all on Artix Krieger now to help & get someone to support/update our game. It's also been stated as said above, that if Nulgath ever returns in the future he is still under the name of Nulgath (which means he can resume where he last left off, I.e AQW/3D and OS ect). If it's true (said by GT), that REV will return in the nearby future then who knows, maybe Nulgath might do so as well. Conclusion to the question: Yes, OS is dead currently BUT maybe for a short period of time only, until we get voluntary Staff replacements or if Nulgath ever returns (like Schwarzenegger in the Terminator movies).
What can we do for now around here to maintain life, until things get better (if it ever does)?
We wonderful new and old players can still continue to come over here for 2 simple good and loyal reasons despite the current issues, IF we are strong enough, mentality wise.
First Reason: OS Forum Tournaments/Challenges
Kiyone, Axel and other loyal & helpful Forum OS Staff could help set up a tournament of a specific element(s) or character requirement type(s) every couple weeks/months to keep and maintain OS some-what alive (community competition perspective at least). If this was done we would always have players come-by from time to time to re-unite and get competitive with players/friends and fight for 'Forum Hall of Fame' as we have been doing before.
Second Reason: Just to simply socialise with friends (some friends are forever, we should never let that bond die-out, when you know people for many years) and also check out for any news/changes in-game, simultaneously.
That's basically it. We should continue to live our lives but always keep an eye out here (expecting for change) and hope that Nulgath returns someday but hopefully have someone else in his replacement, meanwhile. Also we shouldn't stop contacting each-other from time to time, as the community is truly all we have left ATM. As long as we are here AE Staff may always re-consider taking a few positive actions (like give us monthly content at least for us most loyal players). So we shouldn't leave until all is guaranteed 100% lost after Nulgath's AE exit.
What I and many Nulgath fans truly wish would happen if OS is confirmed to be really over in development?
That AE makes an identical or something different but similar to Over Soul for 'Both' Mobile and Web-browser platforms. I honestly don't know any games exactly like OS (with awesome MMORPG characters and a Card-Based Battle Game) and there are millions of games out there. This surely would be a success of a game if done right and if made available for Web &/or Mobile.
What I will do:
I will soon be busy in real life, I want to get myself involved in the 'Security Industry' sector and will be playing less on all my games. I will try be around from time to time, IF we get character releases (or Tournaments at the least) with/without Nulgath returning to OS. Depends what will happen next that will determine if I will or won't leave OS. In-case OS is officially announced 'OVER with NO possible content implementations and NO Staff recruited for replacement', then it's a truly sad 'Farewell & Good-Luck' from Elite Tuga.
Good-Luck & Farewell
To those who have decided in leaving our small community, it was fun to have played/spoken with you guys. To those who will stay 'till the bitter end' or at least until we get a final 100% clarification on our Over Soul HP/DN from Artix and Nulgath themselves as promised, I take my hat off (if I had one on) to you guys as 'true loyalty' is your definition.
God-Bless!
