Re: Staff News: Ely!
It has taken me some time to log in and respond, but I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude. I truly appreciate everyone who reached out with kind words, whether here, through private messages, or on Discord. Your support and thoughtfulness have not gone unnoticed.
I would especially like to thank Ryan for his kind words. As a good friend, he has always been there for me, and I am incredibly grateful for his support over the years. I will always regret how my journey as a staff member ended. Throughout my tenure, I could never have imagined such an outcome. However, I’ve come to realise that these roles are not meant to last forever. Staying in such a position for too long can be detrimental, not only to the individual but also to the community.
In my later years, I faced some serious personal challenges, and the daily pressure to log in, serve the community, and support those who needed help became overwhelming. While it was difficult to let go, I am grateful that the decision was made for me, allowing me to step away at a time when I truly needed to focus on myself. It’s always hard to release something you love, but there comes a point when you realise that your passion has shifted. It was no longer about playing the game, but about serving the community.
For those who knew me well, it was no secret that I didn’t have the best accounts in the game—something that was clear when my admin account had more playtime than any of my personal ones. Despite accusations of being AFK , I always took immense pride in being a visible and active senior figure within the community. In later years, I found joy simply standing around and talking with players. The knowledge that I was able to positively impact someone’s experience is something I will always hold dear.
For those who are interested, here are my stats. Being a staff member here was a significant part of my younger years:
Ely: Time Played: 172 days, 2 hours, 48 minutes Promoted to Admin: October 19, 2016
Ely Pure:
Time Played: 136 days, 2 hours, 47 minutes
Promoted to Trial Mod: March 28, 2016
Promoted to Full Mod: April 28, 2016
Promoted to Senior Mod: August 31, 2016
As I close this chapter, I want to extend my best wishes to all those I had the privilege of working with over the years. Although the list is long, I hope I was able to leave a positive legacy with those I shared moments with. To those who continue to serve, I wish you the best of luck in meeting the demands of the game and the community.
I also look forward to sharing my behind-the-scenes archive at some point in the future. I have hours of footage from every Titan event, staff events, server events, along with countless screenshots capturing everything in between. I’ll always look back with fond memories, especially at the laughter shared while trying to organise these massive events with everyone in a Discord call.
As I write this today, I feel I have finally come to terms with my exit, a realisation that had mentally blocked me from checking in over the past few years. Now, with a healthier lifestyle and mindset, I intend to stay connected with a game that has spanned over nine years of my life. While it pains me to witness its decline, I am equally heartened to see that the game continues to thrive, supported by dedicated individuals who genuinely care.
