Thread: Closing Umbrella and retiring from active tailor duty
Hello All,
I cross posted this on the server forum, but I thought I'd let ya'll know as well.
After running Umbrella and before that Evil Petting Zoo for the last few months, and pretty much meeting or exceeding all my goals there, I'm going to be closing down my retail store in Coronetand focus mainly on bio engineering and combat after the Christmas holiday. I will likely be moving to Dantooine and setting up a very modest pet store there (and I'll stock plenty of meds so I can heal you when you get incapped on the way to the store by Frenzied Grauls and voritor lizards, rofl).
I have no plans to give up my master tailor title, and will still be happy to do custom orders particularly for my old customers and their referrals. I'll continue to be a good source of bio engineering clothing by request. Also, if tailors on Bria wish to buy tissues from me, talk to me after Christmas and we may be able to set something up, since I'll no longer be running a competing store.
A big thanks to all my old customers and business partners. We had a very good run at Umbrella and I appreciate your friendship and support.
Ack another one bites the dust... well sorta.
The tailoring industry as a whole will be lacking with your retirement from active business. However, I sympathize. Recently I picked up EQ again, playing around with my bard and druid and enjoying how I can play both a tradeskiller (crafter) and effective combatant. I have been toying around with the idea of retiring from tailoring, but won't plan on making a decision until after the holidays.
Anyway, sorry to see you retiring Arthur, I hope that you still stick around the forums where other tailors can continue to learn from you.
Sorry to hear that. I'm one of those Tailors that came in a bit late in the game and I actually learned a lot from your posts and feedback. (doesn't take too much for me) 
HA! Seriously though, good luck and I so hope you enjoy your next incarnation and new path in SWG. Keeping the title, huh? Of course you are.. once you've been able to make anything you feel like wearing on any given day, it's kinda hard to give that up. hehe 
Be Well!!!
