I'll make this short and sweet;
You guys have been great to me these last 2 1/2 years or so, and I wanted to give you all a respectful farewell. That being said I am retaining my gear even though I find it most unlikely that I will be returning.
As to the question of why: Well lets just say there are a lot that's pushing me this way, I could blame Turbine for it's lack of content or slowness of updates but that has nothing to do with it, DDO retains it's relevant interest to me as much today as it did in beta. It boils down to the fact that I have another little one on the way and am in the process of moving while trying to sort out the business of where I want to go in life and what I really want to do. I expect that 1 - 2 years ought to do it, but I make no promises about return. Besides.. by that time by good friend Hemora will have dragged me off to Diablo 3 ¬.¬
Some honorable mentions:
and to my greatest (yes I forgot to mention him) Shammy, the one I can say who contributed most to my finally attaining 1750 after 2 years of playing - I owe you much more than my thanks - You've been a wall when I needed supporting and a switch when I needed spanking from misbehaving.
Emili, Akkira, Rift, Jhax, Varr, Youngdad, Headstrong, Gtar, Boldrin, Wifeaggro, Java, Permaraged, Incubo, Kezzy, Methil, Sarcos, (The Bob's Mental Midgets) and many many others I can't remember or have room to name - thank you so much for your friendship and years of questing you have no idea how much it means to me to feel a part of something as big (or seemingly so as DDO) you have all enriched my life in ways I cannot express via a forums post.
