Right then, I'm off

Errr - so I suppose this is it?

Four years with NCsoft, over four years playing City of Heroes (mostly Heroes, too; sorry Villains) and I'm leaving one of those things behind. SURPRISE! It's NCsoft.

Yes, today's the last day - in fact, this is the last 20 minutes or so - and I twisted GhostRaptor's arm so that he'd allow me to give one last goodbye. So... goodbye!

Of course it's more 'au revoir' because I'm pretty sure quite a few of you will be following me around even after I leave this place and am no longer privy to the 'best' inside info. Just think of all the stuff I didn't tell you! Ahem. Better keep schtum....

I will of course live on like some sort of hideous zombie, with decaying flesh and yellow teeth, at the blog... just remember to go totheblogmobile.com and you'll find me there.

Okay, time to go, er, better say something profound. Erm; come to our party? Alright alright.

To be serious for one paragraph: City of Heroes, and NCsoft, and most importantly YOU PEOPLE... you all changed my life. You did. You changed my attitude to work, you made me realise what was possible in community and in games and on the web. You did it. Damn you...

... because now I can't give it up, and you'd better believe this is not the last you've seen or heard of me.

Keep it real, heroes. See you on the other side.

You're going to Champions Online?

Seriously though, all the best Rockjaw. You were the first community rep that I met and you did a damned good job here, keeping the games in the public eye.

Hope everything works out for you. Have fun!

Best of luck out there, Rockjaw.


In your dreams, I'll still be there with all the days that never came.
And I'll be just a story.
That's ok, we're all stories in the end...

I've been trying to think of a good way to make a post about this since it was first announced. I didn't want to join in on the other thread, because I didn't think I could properly form my thoughts on the matter without cursing a lot of people and factors, most of which I'm not aware of.

Stephen, I'm truly sorry to see you go. Over the past few years, you've changed from "Bridgers boss with the scary eyes oh no I have to e-mail him and he's going to hate me" into someone I respect and genuinely like as a person. I think it's a horrible shame that this whole thing has happened, and each and every person here will be the worse off for it.

Sadly, I can't make it to your leaving drinkathon, due to work commitments, but I honestly wish I were going, to help see you and the others off in style. You'll be sorely missed, and I think you deserve more than a couple of pints for all the time, effort, and energy you've put into this game.

If you ever find yourself running around Atlas and trying not to broadcast "Level 50 former employee LFT", you've got my Global handle. Please, give me a shout and we'll go punch Malta.
