's message, "My time to say Farewell to UO?" on Tue, Jun 11 2002, 06:28am
*looks at the incredulous amount of posts & with a tear in her eye, collects her thoughts & begins to write*
Where do I start?
There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe how I have felt reading every post here. I am truly humbled that so many folk have shared their kind words of support & understanding in response to my post. I have taken great comfort & shed many tears as I read your words. Everyone who has posted here has re-affirmed to me that UO is truly an exceptional game, one that is not easily walked away from. Each & every one of you is the essence of what being in this realm is all about to me. You, the ppl behind the pixels, are what make UO such a special place to spend our time.
I have been astonished that ppl who don’t even know me personally felt the need to place their mark here. It is comforting to know that my reputation is still solid in the realm & has not been completely tarnished by the words of others. I truly thank you for your words of support; it means more to me than you might ever know. *bows deeply* I hope that one day we will have the chance to meet ingame & perhaps share a memorable adventure (i.e. death robe) or just an ale & a chat at the tavern.
I admit that of late I had been preoccupied with the loss of some very dear friends. Most notably, Astro, Dr Harry & that rascal Able. *curses Able a lilttle* You all left in various ways, but all very suddenly & it was that suddenness that made it all the harder to cope with. The bonds that we formed over our time together are not easily severed & I mourned the passing of each of you. (Sounds like you all died, but in a way you did) I miss you all immensely. We shared so many, many laughs & some fantastic adventures into the wee small hours of the night. It is very hard to let that go. But I will now keep my thoughts focussed on the good times we once shared, rather than dwell on my sadness of losing you. My fondest hope is that one day, I will go to the tavern & all 3 of you will be there, & it will be as if you never left us. You better expect a big hug & maybe a noogy, oh & handcuffs, cos if we get you back again, I am never letting you go again!!! I love you guys! *hugs each of you warmly*
The responses from my guildmates/friends have truly floored me & for once in my life I am left speechless. I read each post with tears in my eyes; your words have touched me deeply, probably more so than you will ever know. I want you to know that you are all such incredible ppl & I feel privileged to call each of you my friend. At the time I wrote the post, my heart & mind were telling me that it was time to let go of UO & move on. It has been a tough few months, both ingame & out. But after reading your thoughtful words, I have had no choice, but to reconsider. The emptiness I felt due to the loss of those I cared about has been tempered by your words. I cant express how each of you has made me feel. I can only try to impart to you my heartfelt thanks & hope that you feel the depth of it. As I said before, you, the ppl of DoD, are second to none & I feel honoured to stand by your side. *bows* ah, bugger the bowing caper…*group hug*
I wanted to avoid singling anyone out here, but it would be remiss of me if I were not to make mention of Ka Null….my oldest & dearest friend & mentor in UO. You are an amazing man & I treasure the day that Ladro introduced me to you all those years ago. I have learned so much about honour & kindness from you. I too fondly remember Rosie gm’ing swords in Shame, with you on one side & Squall on the other, both applying timely & much needed bandages to my wounds & words of encouragement to help me achieve my goal. From that experience I learned about giving to ppl in UO & you have continued to teach me valuable lessons until this very day. Your degree of diplomacy & level headedness are unmatched by anyone else that I know. You are truly an inspiration to us all. Thank you Ka *bows*
Well, I guess for someone who was left speechless, I ramble on a bit, don’t I? Sorry for that.
But the words I have written here don’t seem to come close to compensating for what each of you has given to me. Please know that your words have impacted on me deeply & have eased the pain I felt. I thank you all for giving me ample reason to stay & little reason to go. UO is a game that is unmatched by any other that is out there. It’s the human element that makes it so unique.
I am very grateful to you all. I thank you!!!
I am a duffer…..take me back plz
