Well, folks... time to say goodbye.
As of this writing I have four active days left on my DDO subscription, and then I will be exiting stage-left (never did like stage-right... too preachy). But, before I go I just wanted to say a few things.
It has been my absolute pleasure and privilege to have spent time with you guys. To all my friends, guildmates, fellow forum-users, PUG members, and server dwellers - I'm gonna miss each and every one of you. Even those who I may have irritated or been irritated by - I'll miss you. See, we all make up one of the coolest and nicest communities I've ever been a part of. There have been some rough spots in the road, sure, but the people who play this game have never failed to amaze me at how top-notch they are. It is each and every one of you who have kept me coming back to this game when I'd have otherwise walked away.
Sadly, the time has come when I need to walk away...
I won't dwell on why I feel the need to unsubscribe, for any who really feel the need to know why, the answers are not hard to find. Me, I'd rather focus on the good things - laugh instead of lament. When the time comes that it's hard keep a smile - then it's time to pack it in.
I'm not giving away my gear - and I'm not deleting my characters. I'll be completely honest, I hope to come back one day. I'll be paying attention to what is going on in DDO, and if things improve then I will be back. But, it that may not be for a while.
I've had a really great time trying to make y'all laugh, or trying to prove a point. Even the arguments were fun. This has been like a family to me, the population of Thelanis... and moving out is hard to do. Took me a long time to reach this decision, but I gotta head out on my own.
I hope each of you stays well and stays happy. It's been a pleasure.![]()
