It's been fun bro.
Hate to see you go, but I understand where you're coming from. I was there not very long ago myself.
Take care of yourself...

It had tohappen sometime and now is a better time than most, before the combat and smuggler revamps areunderway. I've let Thunderheart know that Ineed to retire from my position as Smuggler Correspondent due to demands in the world outside this community and this game. The simple truth isI simply don't have the time or resources to continue to play this game, let alone continueas your correspondent for much longer.
Here is part ofthe letter I sent to Thunderheart, I hope it explains why I'm saying this now.
While I'd like to continue as a correspondent as I enjoy working with the members of the various communities and the developers, the community needs an advocate that will be able to stick through till their revamp. As it seems that won't be till next year, I will not be able to fill that need for my community when it will most likely need that voice.
I would not like them stuck in a transition phase when a correspondent is most needed to represent them.
When I first signed on, the Smuggler revamp looked like something that would be near at hand, that I could assist with and assure the players their needs were being met. It was delayed, sometimes in a way that was detrimental to relations between the community and the developers.
If I leave now, the next one after me will be better able to get informed and ready for the times ahead. Yet I do like corresponding enough that I'm too easily inclined to drag things out.
So if you could let me know the course of action you feel is best for the developers and the community, I will work towards that end. If for some reason it would be more beneficial for me to stick it out a while longer in the event an already informed correspondent is needed I will do my best and gladly. If you would rather I step down immediately, so the next correspondent would be better able to grow into the position before you really have need of him, I will comply.
It doesn't look like they really need me right now though, so I felt I should go ahead and post here to inform you of what is going on. I don't want a period of time to pass where you are without representation and the soonerthat person can get up to speed for the times ahead, the better.
Once the torch is passed I will be moving on completely from Star Wars Galaxies and there is very little chance of my return. There are simply too many bittersweet memories to contend with as far as I am concerned. I still think this is the MMO with the most potential that just hasn't been realized. SadlyIfound that it was easier for me to say farewell than it was for me to see what I could do to continue my subscription regardless of my predicament.
I'll be around till they decide to give me the boot, or I simply run out of time. So it will be business as usual till then. I don't know when they will start taking applications either.
I do have high hopes for the combat and smuggler revamps in the future. With the addition of JTL to the system I feel there are going to be great changes forSWG as a wholeand Smugglers in the future. Too badIwill not get to see them and experience them with you.

You have done absolutely everything you can for the Smuggler community. You are a great leader, and you have fought the good fight. Sadly, it seems as it was a losing battle, but so many of us are too stubborn and in love with Star Wars and the potential therein that we are still here, getting trampled.
/Salute. You have the respect and the thanks of myself, as well as the true Smugglers in SWG. Thank you!

Caylin, I've always had the utmost of respect for you and always will. I know that there are few smugglers on these forums who can't say the same. I know that many of us look back with fond memories of ElectricNomad, and I know that we will do so with you as well.
Best of luck Smuggler_Caylin. I hope that whatever situations life throws at you, you'll find the strength to overcome what you can, the peace to accept what you can't, and the wisdom to know the difference. "For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and powers of darkness."
You are a remarkable person, possessed of qualities that will serve you well wherever you go.

Caylin,
You have been light in dark times for the smuggler community. You have been, IMO, the best coor we have ever had. This is truly a bitter pill to swallow. Rest assured that, we will carry on your noble work. I hope that you will keep in contact with some of us 
. I know that you say you will not be back to SWG but perhaps someday there will be a profession for you to return to. I'm gonna miss ya man, more than I can say. For your dedication, zeal, and love the smuggerl community in in debt to you. A debt that I feel, we may never be able to replay. I wish you the best in whatever direction life takes you and allways remember that there is a smuggler community that will remember you. /salute

I am sure whoever they choose to replace you will work just as hard ... but will never replace you.
Please stick around and help as much as your time allows.

I'm been in this since beta ... I've played lots of professions and had lots of Correspondents ... I hold the smuggler community above them all, and you have served it as faithfully and powerfully as such a fine community deserves. We'll miss you man!
I personally will be sorry to see you go, as I had/have more faith in you than any Red Name that claims to know where we are coming from. But I hope that someday SWG achieves some of that potential and you come back for a visit.
In the meantime those of us who have been around for a while will keep up the fight as long as we have the spirit for it.
(Just in case this has a chance of working: PLEASE DONT GO!!)
