[quote="MICKYC"]Hanging up my weapons and leaving the game - for a while at least. The anvil has finally got me to admit defeat. After playing from day one, 5000 hours, I have only ever managed to get one item to +6 (a dex earring) and that broke trying for one more after I had had it for a year at +6. Today I got dropped a really very nice intense stinger and completed the lvl 120 trolls quest - which took a lot of hours to complete. Off to the anvil and - yup - both broke trying for +1. Tried to up a +5 dex neccie - and - bye bye. Enough is enough - too much time and effort for very very little reward. Have fun everyone Micky :P[/quote]

[quote="RAZOR"]See you in a month <3[/quote]

[quote="CHOJINE"]Take care matey, we all need a break sometimes, it helps me a lot to walk away sometimes.[/quote]

[quote="ASBJORN"]In general I play for about 2 months then quit for 2 months. Seems to work well for me lol[/quote]

[quote="DEAMOND"]Feel your pain Micky and know how your feeling, have been feeling the same way recently with my troubles at the anvil - too much time and effort for very little reward. Hope to see you back soon! [/quote]

[quote="WARRE"]anvil can be harsh :( ... so can blacksmith combine :( ... so can ripping a m8s +8 bow when not noticing dura go down :( At end of the day its still a game and pixels and i dont let bad luck on a game get to me irl (xept for that +8 bow that wasnt mine :/). Last week i made my first +6 wep lol. Hope to see you again in the near future, always respected you[/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]Sorry to hear Micky!! As we said yesterday seems you were due a little break though! Hope you come back soon enough 🙂[/quote]

[quote="CHOJINE"][item post=170083 index=0] Will be feeding these to the anvil soon haha![/quote]

[quote="LINNYI"]Aww sad to see you go but you need to do what is right for you hope to see you again soon xx[/quote]

[quote="WEEEEEEEEEP"]Anvil can be a bitch, everyone knows fail %% by now I don't know why people upgrade main gear without backups... Sure it takes a little longer but you never end up gearless or pissed off for breaking your main items. Have done it in the past also and it's too painful so stopped. The bonus I see about back-ups if you have 2x +4 rings and make a third, now you can keep upgrading the lowest + one until you get a fail.. Had some luck with this (turning 3x +4 rings into 2x+7) without having to go through the pain of breaking main gear[/quote]

[quote="BARINOV"]Sorry to hear that mate, hope to see you in the not too distant future ;)[/quote]

[quote="KING"]When you're breaking valuable items at a +1 upgrade attempt, that's pretty much beyond harsh. I asked a few players: "what do people do once they reach the cap, is that not technically game over?" and their response was upgrading gear, so I asked "what for?" and they were talking about people wanting to achieve a +8 crossbow. I can see that being extremely frustrating if you're breaking items at +0 even with so much experience with the game.[/quote]

[quote="KOBRA"]The anvil mirrors real life, it owes us nothing and we are entitled to nothing. Hopefully see you back soon.[/quote]
