Anyway, prove that you really don't hate Villains by letting us slap you around in effigy! I mean... uh... crap. There's really no way to make this sound like a positive thing, even though I really mean it as such..
While not technically official content, he did create an AE arc where we got to do that during Mission Architect testing.

Aww...

Really sad to see you go. I remember being so excited and running to Portal to check out the new trainer in Peregrine, then bemoaning your simple and not super awesome costume

You'll be missed Castle.

I know there's a lot of folks over in Repeat Offenders that really appreciate all you've done. Heck, you gave us a motto.

I hope to see you around, even though I don't know who you are in game.

Assuming that you aren't a Dev in disguise within RO as it is...

*puts on tinfoil hat*

Best wishes and good luck in all you do.

Castle, you and BAB were the main reasons I made sure to check the Dev Digest every day. I've always appreciated how much you participated on the forums, all the more so because it was virtually guaranteed that whatever change you made to player powers would generate some insanely overblown poisonous responses. I don't care how thick a skin you have, sometimes that had to hurt.

You helped build a game that has brought joy to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. What a great legacy.

Best of luck in your next job!

It's always sad to see a competent person stop working on a thing you love. Hopefully, you'll go on to work on another great something that's just as fun and challenging.

A general conglomeration of things I want to say:

And a great sadness descended upon my heart.
Wish you the best. I have to thank you for introducing me to xkcd, that brought me many smiles. You will be missed. Noooooooo... Can I have your stuff? Doooom! *sniffle*

In all seriousness, Thanks for all the years of hard work, and the tolerance and appreciation for us. Hope you have a wonderful holiday break and that you find fulfillment and appreciation in your future endeavors.


Dear NCsoft, if you go through with this shutdown you've guaranteed you'll not see another dime from me on any project you put out, ever.

I can totally understand wanting to move on to new challenges! Enjoy, God bless, and I hope that you get back to work as soon as you like at a place that you enjoy with people you come to love

Awww, it's sad to see yet another familiar and much appreciated Redname face go. Wish you the best on all your journeys! You will be remembered fondly, for my part.

I definitely haven't agreed with all the changes under your auspices, pvp and ET most notably.

But I want to wish good luck in all your future endeavours, and thank you sir.

Castle I wish you the best for your future. I hope whichever role you move to gives you enjoyment. I'm not a numbers person but I appreciate the communication you enter into with the community.

This. A lot. This smells badly. I admit I'm wondering whether or not I should renew both of my accounts because I usually do it for a year.

We should do some kind of tribute on the 24th - like go to Peregrine Island, pull a few Devouring Earth GMs to the trainer, and then show off our Castle-created powers

Is Arcana quitting too?

Quick! Someone bound his legs to his chair so he can't leave the Studio!



 

Posted

I hope you got something as good or better!
Good luck, is always sad say goodbye to our devs.
And Happy Xmas!


 

Posted

Nothing much to say that hasn't already been said.

So good bye and good luck in your future endeavours. I think you were awesome.

and instead of going to work or doing last minute shopping on 24th we should all go visit our nearest castle!

Best of luck to you Floyd...

I do have a question, isn't Castle the NPC and trainer your creation, I mean wasn't he the the character that you created before you were a Dev?

That's gotta be bitter sweet, yeah your character became an Iconic Symbol in the game, but now you can never play him again.

If you ever find yourself on Victory, send me a PM I'll get you the hook up on TF's and raids

While I may not have always approved of changes made under your auspices (cough cough fury cough cough ) for the most part you've been pretty impressive as the lord and master of powers numbers. If the minions you leave behind aren't as good as you were then I swear I will track you down and unload a seltzer bottle in your face like an old slapstick comedy routine. Fair winds and many successes, Floyd.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
We wish you well and thank you for all the wonderful hours of entertainment you've brought to all of us. It's like saying goodbye to a good friend.

Good for you! One should try to not stay too long at any job, it's just not good for your skills or mental health (everything becomes a grind sooner or later).

Sorry to see you go tho, I think I liked you.
