A Veteran Moves On, Kungen Retires

Posted in by Starym at Monday, May 9, 2011, 20:40



After so many years and so many accomplishments, as many of you have noticed through rank changes, forums etc., Kungen has quit the game. Guild leader of Nihilum from beginning to end, co-guild leader of Ensidia, the amount of World firsts he has  achieved is dizzying and, having played with him myself, I can only say I'm sad to see him go.


Kungen:
I've been playing since the release which was about 5 years ago and that's quite a long time. The first year the game was a 5 of 5 to me, the second a 4 of 5, the third a 3 of 5... You can see where this is going, I just don't enjoy the game the same way anymore. And so after having thought about it for a while, I finally decided that it was time to call it quits.

Mek:
The guild is going to continue normally, with me, Mackzter, Ekyu and Caleb in the leadership and with Ekyu as the Main Tank on his Warrior. As always, all the decisions will be made by all of us in the leadership.

Kungen leaving, while sad, isn't going to impact the guild and its performance. Our resolve and motivation is as strong as ever and with the good roster we have we are going to be even better than we have been so far.

Ekyu:
While most of you know me as the Mage Class Leader of Ensidia I have also always been pretty active on my alts, getting World Firsts on them (Kil'Jaeden with my Warlock and ToC Immortal with my Warrior). For a time at the end of WoTLK I almost officially switched main to Warrior, and that's basically what is happening now.

With Kungen gone I will be picking up the role of Main Tank and more of a leadership role in the guild. Essentially this changes nothing for the guild as I have always been involved in those roles, even if not officially. I won't stop playing my mage and will, of course, still share my knowledge of the class. I look forward to this change and seeing how this will play out for us in the coming Firelands raid!

We'll have a more extensive interview with Kungen in the coming weeks.

    Perhaps at the same time he will have time to finish his warrior tank guide?
    After all he had said "soon"! (http://manaflask.com/forum_topic.php?forum_id=21&topic_id=28585&p=3)
    Seriously, I think it's the most famous player and surely the most "legendary"in the WoW community that leaves us.
    Now go look for worlds firsts to honor him and give him the urge to play one day! GL guys.

    I like how Ensidia took the time to make this news post, great props guys, I really appreciate it, and I'm sad to see Kungen go, but I have no doubt Mek, Mackzter, Ekyu and Caleb will keep Ensidia on top! :) GL guys.

    wow, I've been following Nihilum since it's AQ times and this surely is a sad day! But yeah, it's totally understandable, the game got me tired after some time, I can't imagine when playing at that level! So yeah Kungen I wish you the best :D (maybe we can see you back like Mek? :P)

    And I'm glad the leaders of Ensidia are this motivated, hoping we can see tons of WFs on Firelands and beyond! And yeah Ekyu that warrior sure looks amazing, and just a question, is Mancy gonna be the new Mage Class Leader?
