Well, plus the old blog, some 145 posts later, I'm bowing out, I have and still do love writing on this blog, but there is no need for me to continue. Nothing happens on endless online any more and my popularity, after a failed attempt to publicise the blog, has hit an all time low, especially considering how long it has been since i posted.
I haven't been on endless online in some time either, I've moved on, i still knock about on the forums for a chat, and occasionally i logg on to see if anything has changed, or if any of my friends from these wonderful years have logged on, and apart from the new quest nothing else has.
So until i deem it either worthy or possible to reinvent this blog, i'm deeming this blog deefunct.
But I've had a great and enjoyable time writing on it, issuing guides about the new versions, letting people know about events and happenings, documenting my day to day activities whilst viewing the endless online world and community from my view point. And even though i can recall countless memories in which I've enjoyed endless online, such as the blue room, the Christmas event, the release of dragons at last, discovering new versions with friends, the addition of Atlantis and more, i have recently found myself lacking any interest in the humdrum activities that endless online revolve around, not that i don't enjoy the community, but lack of depth into characters, infrequent updates and moderation, and hacking have all pushed me away from this game.
It all began with the winter period, where someone i knew became very ill and attention became more devoted to that issue as oppose to blogging. Even though at the peak of Novemeber i was brining around about 200-300 hits a day and plenty of comments. And i stopped posting completely at one point, up until the new year which brought new interest, which quickly faded as i realised how little interest there was in my blog now.
Back when i started this blog, on freewebs, i didn't see many visits, however, after i decided to move to blogger, i was in a period of time, after the release of v27 where it was easy to gain attention and readers, within a week, this period had ended, but fortunately i had gained just enough people to keep my blog going so the word could spread, and soon become a well-known blog, which was once quoted by Wickedfrost as one of three of the ''Only blogs you need''. However, now without that special time, and with Nezlo's and Wikky's blogs posing so much competition, it is near IMPOSSIBLE to launch or relaunch a blog that remained dormant for such a long period of time.
And so, knowing that there is no chance of regaining my past glory days, and knowing that endless online may not have many more of them itself, I'm giving in. I'm going to strip the page of most elements, however, still feel free to browse the archives, although the freewebs archive is long since gone.
Maybe, one day I'll find interest again, maybe i'll find an urge, or a need to post, maybe there will be on of those, time periods again, in which i'll find my way back to this blog, and to you readers, but until then it is farewell, and thank you for reading.

I'm very sad to see your blog going down. The same sadness I felt when Hells Newest Addition went down (vegasz blog when it died). and the same one when I finally lost interest in endless, and although after so many memories had to quit for the most part, only to check in bi weekly, I did indeed give up full time play of endless.
I hope I'll see this blog again one day, and until then, I wish you luck in all games and such that you may play, or whatever. Sadly I will indeed cut you from my blog headlines in a few days. I'll check back every here and there.
Nice to meet you, Be part of the readers of your blog, and most certainly see you in game and see what you've had to post.
Wikky also started my popularity, so I had a cheap cheat to my boost, but the same that happened to you, happened to me for the most part.
I started playing endless a year ago, and even though extremely slight, I do feel a very small bit choked up thinking of all the memories of my friend in real life DNFM showing me the game, meeting all friends, and having fun, being called a nuub (haha).
If it weren't for DNFM, I would never of found a good MMORPG to start playing (at first :( )
Never found dofus, never made my website (I started with freewebs too :3) and most importantly never made over 100 online friends that I did.
Saying all this , I counter wish your farewell, as I too, yet not left my blog, (having trouble posting) But have left a lot of the most the EO community, My blog's EO side, and sadly some friends that I can't seem to get time to talk to anymore.
Cya round,

Well Picto you will be missed.The hacking, lack of adminship, spam dc has pushed me away also. I only sign on if I see some one I know is on.I hope eo relapses into the game it used to be. Maybe the talks of "Vults big plan" are true and work. Any ways what I am saying I hope I get a chance to read your blog again if eo ever recovers from this.
farewell and best of luck

You don't really want to quit, change the blogs name back >_> and just post random crap on it.
