Wintaru's Farewell.Follow

#1 Jan 19 2006 at 11:24 AM Rating: Good
I'm sure some saw it coming Smiley: grin

I must bow out of this wonderful game. I've come to realize that a new father with a family and a new house really doesn't have the time to play a game like this. I always said I would be here until the servers were shut down, and who knows, maybe someday I'll be back but right now I just don't have the time. There are a lot of things I never got done that I would have liked to, but I had a blast from Beta on, and I leave the game with great memories and friends.

I'd be typing all day to say goodbye to everyone that I want to, but I'd like to mention specifically certain folks who really made this game great:

Audion
Kingpopof
Tshayichu
Radec
Xan
Dreamingfaith
Bhaktuy (Bhot)
Duuude
Tenzen
Lazydude
Osric
Kezef
Gretchen
Catgirl
Yoshinaka
Daze
Synapsis
Mamasmurf
Zwickee
Verdigo

And many others I'm sure I missed. Lots of good times and memories. Thanks for it all, it was a great ride while it lasted.

Now down to business. I will surely still stop by to troll the Bismarck forum from time to time, but I won't have much time for editing my stickies anymore. I'd like to pass the Fanfic on to Phyree if he's willing, who wants the other?

As you can see, I've picked up WoW. I'm not going to get into which game is better or worse, they're both very good at certain things and WoW is more adapted for the time I can devote. If you play it, look me up on Shadow Council or Durotan.

Damnit, Win, you suck. >< I had just started collecting fireworks and candy for your return party.

Eghh. Well, I can't say I blame ya though. I'm definitely going to miss ya, having looked up to ya in a way. Or down as such. Eghhh, you get my drift.

Damn this stinks. Another old head bites the dust...... Keep on rocking Win, keep on rocking.

I'll see if I can get to it this weekend Phyree Smiley: wink

Sorry szandor, I had every intention of returning but after I extricated myself from the game I realized that things were getting done around the house, and I was playing with the baby more, hanging out with my wife, etc. Hard to give that up Smiley: grin

Sorry Byaina Smiley: cry I'm not selling my stuff just in case, but I don't forsee me coming back for the next 6-12 months so I thought I should let everyone know.

So who's gonna buy my moat carps now.....don't worry bud. You'll be back. All the originals will return. RL gets in the way at times, I myself have even experienced this and know what it feels like. But deep down, you know, you will be back. Take care and have fun with the new family and life you've made!

Maybe someday, but definately not any time soon :)

Phyree, the fanfic thread is updated.

Wow! I never thought I'd see the day. Yoshi and I haven't haunted the forums in a LONG time. And look what happens when I finally take a peek?

I wish you the best of luck!

Catgirl!!!!!

Wow, we've missed you guys, hope all is will with your stick fighting classes Smiley: grin

Dreamingfaith is going to take over Wintaru for now, I may be back but not any time soon.

You guys should come play WoW with me Smiley: sly

Pfffffft. WoW.... I would join you over there Wint, but I just can't see myself paying for a game that involves so much information to be gathered. Guild Wars still a possibility cause of the lack of fee. ^^

I honestly still enjoy FFXI even if I can play 4 days a week or can't manage to log on for 2 weeks straight.

Nice to hear from Cat and Yosh too.

Whatchoo mean? It's a little itimidating at first, and the GUI is takes some getting used to, but my druid just hit level 20 and got the ability to shapeshift into cat form and wow the job has just gotten 10x more fun Smiley: grin

I wish I could stay on FFXI, but I really wasn't having much fun. It was a hard decision to leave my friends that still play but I had to do it.

Hey all! It's been a while. Verd - Me and Yosh deleted all of our characters. We were thinking about checking out WOW, but we're having too much fun in our new house! It's amazing what you can do in the real world instead of "farming" online!

Anyhoo, it was good to hear from you guys and maybe we'll see you on WOW if we ever get enough time.

Come to Shadow Council and go Alliance Smiley: grin Maybe if we get enough we could have a DragonArmy guild ^^

I've seen you around a couple times this week, did you decide to rejoin or are you just tieing up ends... something else possibly?
#22 Feb 08 2006 at 8:53 AM Rating: Good
*cough*

I gave my account info to an LS mate, Dreamingfaith.

He's used Wintaru (and leveled him) in the past, I believe his cousin wanted to try the game out or something.

I meant to post about it but forgot Smiley: grin
