Ranger Archive

My fellow Antarians and Friends,

First of all, I would like to say that for the most part, my time in SWG has been a fun and memorable experience. However, between real life activities and my waning interest in the game, I find myself with less and less time to play.

So it is with heavy heart that I feel I must resign from the game and as leader of the Ahazi Antarian Rangers. A guild of such importance and respect requires a leader with more time and energy than I am able to provide at this point.

I am proud to have played a role in forming the Antarian Rangers, and although it hasn't exactly worked out the way we (I) initially envisioned it, I do believe we have created one of the most respected and known player associations in SWG. In addition, I believe we are the largest cross-galaxy association.

This was my first mmorpg, and quite frankly, I probably got over my head by starting this guild. Never having been involved in anything similar, I owe the success of the Antarian Rangers to the many members and associates who have helped me along the way. Without your guidance and support, AR would not be what it is today.

It has been a long road since we first had those original cross-galaxy "Ranger Conferences", and many of our old-timers who participated have long since departed. Those of you who are new to the Antarian Rangers should go back and read some of the old posts to see how we got started. It was a fun and interesting experience. In addition, there is a new website being developed that will hopefully bring all the galaxies under one roof. Please lend your support to this project.

I am proud to have never given up my Master Ranger status, despite the many complaints and problems we have had over the past period. I sincerely hope that some day the devs will see fit to provide you with the tools and skills required to enable the Antarian Rangers to become the elite space fighting Rangers I had originally envisioned.

I can't say that I am a die-hard Star Wars fan although I am a fan of the movies. However, despite my efforts at continuing to play this game, I feel I am more of a traditional rpg (D & D) kind of player and perhaps that is why my interest in SWG isn't what it should be. Or maybe it's just the fact of playing one game for so long that I just need something different.

I joined this game because my real-life friends told me that if I was ever going to join a mmorpg, SWG was the one to join - they all left less than a month after release. I decided to stick it out and have not regretted doing so. I have since met so many new friends and will miss you all the most.

I plan on joining EQ2 as that seems to be more of my style of game, not to mention the graphics look awesome. I wish everyone the best of luck and much fun in SWG and I hope to see some of you in the future in EQ2.

Good Luck, Good Hunting and May The Force Be With You!!
