Thread: Not exactly goodbye but close.
I'm hedging the same way - my accounts are paid until February, but we'll see what happens after that.. maybe I'll turn My DE/Dancer into a Jedi as it'll be the only way I get to hold a glowstick
You've truely been a bright spot to this profession ever since you stepped aboard, or posted here which ever came first.
Your presence will be missed around here. /salute
Oh well... i am short before cancelling myself, i give them one more month in which i will check it out in live and then i am very likely gone too...
Anyway, thanks for all your input over the years, helping make this profession the best it could be.
I wish I could pop you in the shoulder and try and cheer you up, but I fear I may be behind you shortly. ONly reason why I havent yet mad eup my mind is because the Devs wont answer any *real* questions, and they avoid even more the questions about crafting. As usual, we are ignored. I wont bother with Wow though. I already know enough about their "crafting" system to know its not for me. So it looks like I may pop back in Tale in the Desert, or Eve... until Star Trek comes out. But I am still hoping I am able to stay in SWG. We'll see.
Thanks for all your time and effort, and for being a real community leader. I am sure you will be welcomed with open arms at Wow.
Well, just wanted to let you know, I've always appreciated your posts here. Even when I left after the CU, I kept reading this forum - it's home. So I know what you mean when you say that saying goodbye here is harder than your galaxy forums.
Your posts always made me think - and I appreciated them. Your posts tended to exemplify the tone here in DE land - thoughtful, grammatically correct, and in-depth. Along with TK, Jenden, Drashk - you tended to be one that I paid attention to when reading in here.
You guys kept me interested in the game through these last six months - to the degree I actually paid just to check out the NGE. I paid because I hoped - hoped that it might be a good thing. Hoped I might be able to go back and start making droids like I used to do. Hoped that the game would be revived.
But, that isn't going to happen. I think we all realize that now.
So, here's a toast for you all;
Here's to the profession, here's to our friends and colleagues. Here's to the ones we made here, and the ones we made from steel.Here's to our first droid we secretly kept in our pad, and our last we just set carefully on a stand. Here's to our shared dreams - we all had'em growing up. It was so close, so here's to "almost".
And a drink to the years ahead - I hope we'll get another chance some day.
I can't say thank you enough for all of your helpin the months since I started thinking about this profession.
Six months ago I decided I wanted to begin crafting, and decided that I would take it slowly, choosing and learning as I went. I looked at them all,architectureto weapons. I finally chose droids because they were the most fun and interesting to me, and my favorite character has always been R2-D2.
When I finished my main character's profession andstarted my second account there were a few voices that I knew I could trust, Straker's, Jenden's and Drashk's.
You helped me immensely, without even even knowing I was here, by answering and responding, pushing for the improvement of the game and bringing intelligence to an already stimulating profession.
Thank you for that and I wish you the best of luck.
*speechless*
You were one of the last people I thought would leave. But I guess after all the anti crafting *updates* it would get on anyones wick. I'm just plain stubborn. I enjoy making droids, even if I give them away to guildees I'll be happy ![]()
It may no longer be a good business simulation but its the best I can do while playing the game with my friends. We're looking forward to LotR but thats still months away. I've tried Eve but thats too long winded for my tastes. I'm playing Starpeace again which was my first online gamewith alot of business simulation in it but after playing this its just not the same. It's very hard to find a game that caters to my business enjoyment and his fighting enjoyment.
I hope you enjoy WoW as much as you enjoyed this .. and maybe more. Hopefully when all but a handful of the crafting players are gone and they realise how many players played because they had the ability to make a difference, maybe they will then start actually working on improving our roles.
