I am proud of all of you, helping me along the way. My NS journey has lead me to this point, and I am glad. Unfortunately, my high levels of activity on this game has come with a price. I have been getting much anxiety about this game, and I feel I always need to be on. I have also been feeling tired of the game, even though we most likely will be merging soon. I am sad to say that effective soon after the merger, I will be leaving NationStates for the above reasons. I want to focus on real life first, and not a 2002 web game. I don't have the time to manage both. As for the future of our server, I will transfer ownership to someone when we merge with the RCN, and they will begin the process of transitioning this to an RP server for the new region. The government servers will be deleted. I do not plan on coming back, but if I do, the first chance would be after (US) Labor Day Weekend in September. I hope you all will do well in the new region, better days are ahead of us!
With regrets,New jakobly , Your Emperor
If you have questions, I can answer them.
Can you not just take a small step back into a part time capacity, like 2 days a week or such?

Well don't get back in the habit. Lol.
If the merger goes through, a whole lot of positive changes are going to occur. You should be part of that as you worked towards it.
You just need better time management. Lol.

I know y'all want me working in it, but I just can't
after all, it's just a game. We shouldn't take it too seriously.

Shame that your leaving just as the merger happens, but is it alright if you stay on the Discord? You are still valued in our community.

A lot of people seem to be complaining or rebutting New Jakobly's points for why he is leaving. I have this to say: If he wishes to leave, then mourn him, but let him do what he wants. If he thinks it is unhealthy for him, maybe it is unhealthy and he should stop. Don't make it hard for him to leave the community because all that does is make him feel bad about leaving.

We should still do something in his honor in the new region like a "New Jakobly" award for something worthy.
