Chipped Question...

[matopos bushman]

About one month ago I had the dreaded decision to make with regard to my ingame activity. I had no option but to chip out my entire avatar skill base, which was a lengthy and relatively costly experience, but the nett end result was worth it at the time for RL purposes.

That being said, I couldn't stay away too long, and found myself back in EU after a little over a month. The biggest problem I have encountered is acquiring the skills all over again. My Agility remained intact, but I have to start from ground zero to rebuild my avatar.

For anyone out there who has chipped out and come back, I was wondering if you could enlighten me on the following:

In my player profile, I have come across something that looks alarming, and I can only hope that this is a temporary situation. In my skills section I see the following:

Marksmanship - Skill not available
RDA - Skill not available
Serendipity - Skill not available

All of the above are in RED, everything else fine. Does it mean that I will no longer be able to achieve these skills, or is it due to my chipping out, and the need to regain all those skills? I have tried to find info on this but have not succeeded...

If you at one point chipped out and came back, did you notice the same RED listings in your skills, and if so, have you been able to remedy that situation?

Your feedback is welcome,
Thanks,
BM

**Footnote: if you are thinking about chipping out, consider it very carefully, the game takes on a very different meaning once your skills are gone, nothing is taken for granted anymore. If your intention is to simply take a break, keep your account active. If however you need RL $ fast, and have no intention of coming back then chipping might be your option.

They are skills that you have dropped below the level for them to be active

As soon as you hit the required level again they will become active again

Ditto what Spike said hon. They were the same way for me, but eventually I re-unlocked them all.

They will come back hon It will just take a little time, but you will get there And you have all our support in any way we can.
