Goodbye Charan

I emailed Charan, and he gave me permission to share his response. He's read this thread and is very appreciate of everyone's well wishes.

Essentially, a combination of the "Insane Clown Posse" MTX, the game's general direction veering so far from what it was, and some super secret Exilecon announcement that pissed him off is what caused Charan to close his account.

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 :/

Sad that Charan is no more.

His Oni-Goroshi is my #1 favorite item in POE.
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!

Holy shit, you're awesome. That seemed so legit. It made me a little bummed.
Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good.

I laughed SO HARD

I'm at work, don't do this to me, people will think I'm a crazy person for how much I laughed!

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.

Hadn't I known before, I wouldn't believe it.

Goodbye old friend... at least here in PoE.
