Hello fellow Soulworkers,
due to the recent events and with more than half of our community excluded from play,
we just wanted to release a statement to briefly inform you guys that <Cookies> is taking their leave. We are leaving on good terms with mixed feelings.
Some players got a second chance while others were not that fortunate. Our Guild is now split into two parts but our Community remains!
At first we want to apologize to all those players that are negatively affected by the aftermath of our actions. This was not our intention.
We want to shed some light on why we made the decision to take advantage of this bug and why we made it public and available for everyone.
This is not to justify our actions because everyone was aware of the consequences that could follow.
Many of us are playing since the beginning of the Soulworker Beta and we experienced a lot of different events with bugs and exploits, namely the Christmas and Easter Events.
During the Easter Event it was possible to accumulate a lot of Anti-Destructions and Upgrade Covers (like Strength-Expansion-Tickets, but only gives one extra upgrade attempt).
Due to the fact that crafting Easter Eggs was easier than intended the players got way more items than they should have. This was only fixed like 4 to 5 days after the Event started and probably because of the Easter Holidays. So everyone who missed out on the first days of this event was put at a giant disadvantage, leaving a huge gap in gear discrepancy between all active players at that time.
This went by unpunished and no further actions than fixing this bug were taken.And because of how these bugs and exploits were handled in the past we felt the urge to take advantage of this bug just to not fall behind in case it gets "fixed-only".
Imagine having 2 Billions while everyone else had 200 Billions due to the exploit. We don't want to get into more detail at this point.
With us leaving, a combined total of 40675 hours accumulated playtime and a lot of Soulworker history and knowledge has left the game.
Dedicated Streamers, Content Creators, Theorycrafters, Speedrunners, Roleplayers and those guys lending you a helping hand for your Primal, AoV and SCP Runs are no longer there.
Most of our friends have lost their mates they played with and are unlikely to continue playing.
Thank you for sharing your precious time with us. We wish you guys the best of luck and hope you will enjoy Soulworker in the future.
This is goodbye
Sincerely
<Cookies>
