General Discussion - Goodbye Charan - Forum

Sad that Charan is no more. His Oni-Goroshi is my #1 favorite item in POE.	Posted by kira1414#3753 on Sep 25, 2019, 9:52:40 AM Quote this Post
All the best to you Charan! You will be sorely missed. :-( Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!	Posted by Turtledove#4014 on Sep 25, 2019, 9:59:55 AM Quote this Post

He knows some will make fun of him for "rage quitting", but he pretty much had enough of how Tencent has changed GGG (and PoE) for the worse. Hope this helps. Damn, very interesting. Wonder what this is "super secret Exilecon" announcement is :/ I made all that up. :)	Posted by brgillespie#1948 on Sep 25, 2019, 10:01:46 AM Quote this Post

Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good.	Posted by LV9999Majin#9565 on Sep 25, 2019, 10:11:18 AM Quote this Post

Anyway, his reddit account The_Scourge is still up too and has a post as recently as the 23rd. I'd bet he is still reading this forum and thinking about whether to un-quit like he has several times before. This thread is definitely feeding his ego :P But that's fine, that's how he's always been.

Thanks for the contribution, Charan.. And thanks to all people who donated GGG to fundament Poe from open beta times. Too bad the money that have been payed off to build a wonderful game did not go to a good cause, instead we got a laggy, seizure inducing, ridiculously fast paced something something ARPG. Yeah, went way too far from the roots. Only hope is for Poe classic version to bring back the old school way.	Posted by Dr1MaR#1294 on Sep 25, 2019, 11:06:35 AM Quote this Post
