Almost eight years, and I've made three posts in this forum...and all of them were in reply to good byes. That hurts. That stings. So many regrets, so many could've/would've/should've floating about.
Positron...and yes, I am still calling you that, because BY GODS you are Positron and that will never change regardless of what some corporate monkey in a suit says...you and your team are--were, oh, how that stings to type--one of the most prolific developmental forces in City history. Previous leads brought different things to the table, but I think it was you who really started to polish this diamond until it glowed like a small sun.
How do you thank someone for that? I don't think you can. I don't think there are enough words in every language on Earth to properly convey the levels of deep gratitude we all have for you and the team.
You guys aren't just developers. You aren't just artists, writers, and code monkeys. Each and every one of you are family to us. The game may be going away, but I don't think the bonds we've forged will break so easily. This community has done great things together, and will continue to do so long after the lights have gone dark in Paragon, the Rogue Isles, and all points in between.
YOU CREATED THAT! Walk tall. Stand proud. You are all gods amongst men...and wherever you go, whatever you do next, we will stand with you.
