Farewell Lynnabel, have a great time back in college!

[Aelonwy]

Lynnabel announced at the start of the Friday livestream that her summer internship is up and she's back off to college.

I just wanted to say:

Thanks Lynnabel its been great having you, thank you for everything you fixed, thanks for the semi-constant, friendly, and sometimes silly communication. I feel you had a very positive impact on the game, and on the forums. I hope you come back to us someday but I want to wish you luck and a great college term.

Sincerely,
Aelonwy

[Lynnabel]

I'll miss you all so much. I'm so proud to have helped carry the DDO torch, and I can't wait to play Ravenloft just like everyone else!

Thanks for the fun :)

[Amundir]

So, do you ever catch them teaching any college theory and find yourself thinking that that's not how they do it in the real world? ;)

[Saekee]

Noooooo!!!!

[Gabrael]

cheerz, you will be missed, and I hope SSG replace you with either a very advanced AI, or a slightly deranged staffer willing to come on the forum, interact as much, and continue fixing the myriads of little "features" and typos that been plaguing DDO for ages, Even when zerging, I just hate breaking Immersions when something wonky happen, when a mobs suddenly talk TABLESTRING00000000000000000, or when Transition screen don;t match where you are going. I know the irritation is minimal, I just hate having all the time. Kinda like an annoying fly that keep passing in your field of view, it doesn;t change anything, but you KNOW its there, and that its gonna show up again.

I ramble, tnx a lot for everything! may the Sovereign Host bless your future endeavors.

[Phoenicis]

Best of luck to you Lynn

*reports every bug in existence multiple times so the que is full just in case she comes back next year

[Gratch]

Hey Lynnabel,

Thanks for all the rabble rousing, bug fixing, grammar/spelling corrections, icon updates, forthcoming Ravenloft items, daggers that don't drop from quests until you no longer need them, and general thoughts offered to our peanut gallery. Good luck at college.

[Not sure if this is being escorted from SSG or escorted back to college... possibly both.]

[Thumbed_Servant]

Farewell, we appreciate you Lynnabel!

[Kza]

Thanks for making ddo great again! ;-)
Really nice bugfixes done in your thread.
Hope to see you again as developer for the
Best game ever imho.

And as others have said already, you spread
Positivitism around you, thanks!

[SerPounce]

Thanks for all the great work and engagement with the community!

[guzzlr]

Thanks for the hard work and patience! See you back around soon I hope!

[SpartanKiller13]

Thanks Lynnabel, you've personified the SSG team to us and made DDO a better place :)

[airbornerangers]

from a grumpy ol' man, you are all ready missed for your upfront attitude and your ability to see past the negative and fix the problems that you could, ty

[IntrepidBear]

((thankyou)) Lynnabel, take care and hope to see you again !!!

[Gabrael]

if I had to attribute a race and class to Lynnable that fit with his persona and what we perceive of him, it would be either a gnome or half-elf (for jolly), mechanic rogue with an arti splash (small bug fixing), in SHiradi cuz RAINBOW! of our days .

I am a gnome in real life, yes.

[kbaskins]

Thank you for all the fixes you have made to the game. They may have been individually small, but cumulatively the changes have been a huge improvement! You'll be missed.

I hope you come back next summer too.

Thanks again.

Lynnabel is a young lady. "She" is the proper pronoun.

You are interning again next year after playing Ravenloft, right?

[LrdSlvrhnd]

I'd like to add my thanks to those of others for all the grammar & typo fixes you facilitated! I know at one point you denigrated your own contributions, but these small fixes are noticed & appreciated by plenty of us!

[Wonedream]

You will be missed.

Someone who helped fix the game.

Thank you for your contributions.

I hope you excel at school!

[Nonesuch2008]

Tankas for fixshing all de borken stuffzes in da game!!!

We will miss all your attention & time you were willing to spend on those types of details, plus the time spent here. Thanks again.

...And start dropping some change in the Gen Con jar for next year. ;)

[Saekee]

Ok, shock is past...

Thanks for all your lighthearted posts & fixes. The little things make the biggest difference. (ask any divorcee)

[PermaBanned]

DDO will be lessened by your loss, both in your contributions to the game and as the only real "voice of DDO" on these forums. Best of luck going forward, we'll miss ya.

[Hipparan]

Thanks for all of your hard work! Good luck in college, and come back as a Dev again after you graduate!

[Carpone]

So long and thanks for all the fish.

[MacRighteous]

It's been a slice... comeback with new skillz and go elbow deep into the spaghetti .

P.s. I'm secretly green with, and totally jelly of your life and amazing opportunity... My work study in college was cleaning toilets.

Ditto.

Seriously, the value to the player base of this intern who is clearly passionate about the product is not able to be quantified.

Across the past two years of her internship she has done more to advance the banner of "The game is no longer just flat out lying to the people who play it!" than any full time employee had bothered to do in the prior ten years, for whatever reasons.

I appreciate her contributions enormously, and I hope she will be returning next year as a third year intern, or if she has graduated then as a full time employee.

[OzDrew]

Thanks!
Good luck back at Uni.

[AnubisPrime]

Thank you for your time, attention, great work and responsiveness to this community!

I'm sure we'll see you ingame!

[Traffik]

Despite the fact that you consider your contribution as "small", it means a lot for us. I really hope you come back as a full time employee as soon as you graduate from college. We'll miss you and your positivism. I wish you the best of luck and a lot of success in your studies.

[macubrae]

It seems to me that this Summer flew by way too fast, but it does do that when you're having fun. Sorry if most of your time and efforts were spent fixing problems in stead of using your creativity, either way you've made a positive impact on the community. I can't speak for everyone, but Aelonwy and I will miss you.

Good luck with classes and pop on to let us know you're okay once in a while,

[Seikojin]

Lynnabel, I hope you come back again and eventually join full time!

[Captain_Wizbang]

Thanks Lynnabel its been great having you, thank you for everything you fixed, thanks for the semi-constant, friendly, and sometimes silly communication. I feel you had a very positive impact on the game, and on the forums. I hope you come back to us someday

Thank you ma'am. The amount and scope of the "things" you fixed/tweaked/twinked etc.. is amazing for such a sort stay.

Thanks for all the fixes Lynnabell. You will be missed.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Thanks for all you've done here Lynnabell, you've made your mark, made a big difference and have improved the game and user experience. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Saaluta]

Thank you Lynnabel for helping make this game better and the forums brighter with your witty banter and constant communication with those of us the customers of SSG. Not sure what server you play on or your character name, but if you ever find yourself on Khyber, feel free to come zerg some quests with us :)

Saal :)

[Greyhawk6]

Best of luck in college and thanks for all the improvements to the game!

[Eliyse]

Dammit - I thought SSG had hired Lynnabel fulltime!
@Lynnabel - great stuff, enjoy your "holiday" in college and please come back!

[apocaladle]

You will be missed, thank you for everything you have done :D

[Dragavon]

Thank you Lynnabel, wish you all the best for the college year ahead of you and hope to see you back here next year :D

[Vish]

Lyn,
Thank you for your work
You have been a breath of fresh air!

Ssg,
Lyn has been the best pr you guys have done in the last two years since I been playing.
Having somebody on the forums, even an intern, has done more for your presence than all the other media forms, such as live streams, dev show, etc.
Having someone responding to forum gives the impression you care,
And that is sorely missing

Please hire someone to do this
It is an essential duty for customer satisfaction
Ie keep the interns coming

Thanks,
Vish

[sirgog]

Not as active as I used to be in game but Lynnabel has earned my respect over the time she's been working on DDO more than any other SSG staff member since Genasi (well that was in the Turbine days).

And in such a quick timeframe.

I hope you return, but if you don't I wish you success elsewhere.

[rfachini]

Thanks for all you've done for DDO! Always fun grouping with you, plus you're one of the most meticulous bug-fixers and best communicators to the playerbase. Wishing you fun times and mad lootz. I'm sure you will experience great success in all that you undertake!

[Mornyngstar]

Thank you for all the help.

[dunklezhan]

Dammit - I thought SSG had hired Lynnabel fulltime!
@Lynnabel - great stuff, enjoy your "holiday" in college and please come back!

Yeah me too. I *suppose* education has to come first. I *suppose*.

But I'm not happy about it :)

[Hutoth]

Thanks so much. Great comms, great impact on the game and the community.

[Crazywist]

Thank you and good luck in the future. :)

[LevelJ]

Best of luck...the efforts above and beyond have been greatly appreciated.

[LucasMacKinnon]

We will miss you. When you come back for the summer next year, hold out for better "shinies" as the kobolds say. Your work is important, and your interaction with the players and community is priceless.

[Jango-EX]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I returned to DDO just because Lynnabel was back and I thought that was so awesome that SSG brought back someone so nice and deserving of, you know, being there! Not only that but I think that I brought back half a dozen of players by saying "hey guys, remember that dev that decided to fix stuff for us on her last day and how cool and awesome that was? she's back!"

Anyway, next summer is just three seasons away, right? :D

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

What a great resume or LinkedIn-like forum thread this has become!

You deserve every bit of this acclaim Lynnabel.

I wish you the very best in finishing college and getting out there in "the real world!!!"

The fantasy world, and the real world awaits you again! :)

Thank you,

And good luck with your future endeavors!
