I want to share with you that my role as Community Manager for the international server has come to an end.
My last day will be December 7th.
This decision was not made by me, but is part of a broader structural change within the company — but it still feels difficult to say goodbye to a community I’ve spent so much time with.
I know very well that not all of you have always agreed with me.
Even though I know some of you may welcome this change, , and I understand why.
Some might even sing 'ding dong, the witch is gone'.
I want to be completely honest:
If I were to go back and do everything again, I would still make the same choices.
I have always acted in the way I believed was best for the community, the game, and for keeping things fair and transparent — even when it meant disagreements or unpopular decisions.
Despite the conflicts we’ve had along the way, I hope it was clear that every decision — even the ones that led to frustration or arguments — came from the same place:
I was trying to fight for your interests internally.
To make sure your voices were heard, your concerns taken seriously, and your feedback passed on.
To defend your interests, even when it meant pushing back, speaking up, or taking the heat.
We’ve had disagreements, debates, and sometimes real tension.
But beneath all of that, I hope you can see the truth:
I cared.
I cared about this community, about the people behind the nicknames, and about keeping this place fair, human, and alive.
Thank you to those who challenged me, supported me, corrected me, and stood with me.
Thank you for the conversations, the disagreements, the laughter, and the passion that makes this game more than just a game.
Thank you to everyone who engaged, debated, disagreed, supported, pushed, and helped shape this community.
It has meant more than you know.
A farewell gift
Before I go, I wanted to give you something meaningful — a small celebration of the community we’ve built together, and a token of appreciation for your support, your energy, and your stubborn love for this world.
So I am happy to announce a 4-day Friendship Festival on all international worlds.
From 4:30 a.m. (server time) on Friday December 5 until 4:30 a.m. (server time) on Monday December 8, you’ll receive:
- +100% Money from jobs
- +100% Experience from jobs
- +100% Luck at jobs
- +100% Drop chance
- +100% Speed
- +100% Energy regeneration
- +100% Work motivation
- +100% Labor points
It’s my way of saying thank you — not just for playing, but for caring, arguing, building, and keeping this game alive.
I wish you all the very best — in The West, and in whatever worlds you ride into next.
Take care of yourselves, take care of each other… and enjoy the ride.
Saddle up and have fun, partners.
Your soon former Community Manager
