User blog:IonMapping/Goodbye, but not entirely

Some people might already know this on Skype, but I've made a rather important decision. This might come as a surprise to some of you, but I've decided to quit mapping and switch to videomapping, which means I'll be making videos on a new channel similar to those of Ollie Bye and EmperorTigerstar. The channel IonMapping will probably go inactive after I announce the news on my channel.

This probably leaves a lot of questions, which I will answer them one by one. If you have anymore questions, you can always ask me in the comments.

Q: Will you stay on the wiki?

A: Yes. Since I've become chatmod now, I can't just dump all of the responsibilities and expectations so much of you guys put into me. I will try to be active on the wiki, and occasionally editing my nation pages.

Q: How about map games? How about Delirium, Chaos and Urban Warfare?

A: I... still haven't decided yet. I might continue them, but I may need someone else to help me manage the game/make maps. The workload is insanely high and I'm just too lazy to do it all by myself.

Q: How about your mapping series? What about Vius? You're just going to leave it all behind?

A: A simple answer would be yes, but I kinda want to let you guys know the storyline I had in mind. I might release the entire planned storyline of NAFOE similar to how Viper dealt with his series, Dark Treasures.

Q: Will you give out your files for someone to continue the series?

A: I'm still considering this. Even if I were to give them out, I would only give them to mappers I trust to make the series good.

Q: B-but you just released a preview of an alternate history video! How can you just dump it like that?

A: The decision isn't made in one day. I had this thought over three months ago, and I've considered the consequences. The decision is pretty much final.

Q: What is the new channel?

A: I will put a link to it along with the announcement video I'm going to make.

Q: Will you give your channel to someone else, similar to how Gold dealt with his channel?

A: Nah... I'd like to keep it as a beautiful memory for myself.

Anyways, yeah. Some of you may try to persuade me to rethink the whole thing, but at this stage, I don't think there's any other choice. Mapping is getting boring for me and it feels like a chore to make a mapping video. Also, I'm running out of ideas. Each video to me feels bland, and that's the worst thing to happen on a content creator. I feel like videomapping will mix things up and introduce me something fresh. Don't worry though, I will still keep in touch with all of you awesome people. Perhaps I can act as an ambassador between videomapping and Mapperdonia, who knows ;)

As always, c'ya in the next video.
