Goodbye Charan

Maybe its because he supports HongKong and knows GGG is 80% owned by China ?

Not a good sign for GGG that their core contributors are bailing, and everyone but them can see the reasons why.

I'm going to google this, do you have a forum link? haha

Nope, but there were several threads regarding the issue back then. Trolls? Probably. But Charan did boycott the league.

Also, I don't think this is permanent. After someone mentioned he was still lurking on his other account he set it to private. I think he's just chilling, waiting for people to forget, then he'll make a return.

Honestly, most likely. One does not simply quit Path of Exile. Especially a player who has donated thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars. There comes a point where the emotional investment becomes permanently instilled in the brain.

Nope. Unfortunately, he's out.

How do we know for sure though? His alt account was last seen when this topic was made wasn't it?

What a shame really. All the time money effort commitment gone to waste.

I feel for him on an emotional level, not gonna lie. I've been a long time supporter myself and it really feels the game has been lacking for a while now. I mean, we do get the 3 month leagues but a good portion of them have been total shite (see Synthesis) whereas the servers are still spotty at best and the "melee rework" was a complete failure (bring back old Multistrike.) It's now to a point where I refuse to buy into any more Support-Packs/MTX until GGG actually DOES something.

Whatever. I been playing since open beta and the game seems better than ever to me.

Are people really surprised, though? Last I knew, he wasn't even playing anymore. He consistently brought up criticisms that otherwise were drowned out by the non-stop circlejerking. He probably just finally gave up.

To me, this is a sign of the approaching end. Nobody else with any clout is that critical of GGG, it can only go down faster from here.

Public Service Announcement:

Circle Jerk™ does not approve of, condone or recommend jerking be performed underwater whilst drowning at any time.

Thank you.

Charan is an author. I think that this is his book. Does anyone know for sure?

I will add this to the wish list. I'm getting tired of reading history books.

Does anyone know what happens to your post history and pms in that case?

When someone deletes their account, their posts and PM's remain. The account name is just changed to "deleted" on those posts and PM's. So Charan must have had the moderators delete all of his posts and PM's.

He didn't ask them to, no. He only asked for an account deletion. The deletion of posts and PMs was a "bonus."

But he was fine with it.

(I assume Chris recognized the gravity of his request and acted accordingly.)

I expect at some future date via some source (likely not these forums) we’ll get a lengthy epistle from him explaining it all. I can’t see him riding off into the sunset without taking a final shot over his shoulder at some point. If he doesn’t, I’ll find that a very anticlimactic end and that would never do for an author.
