Well good luck, I wish you well. Though I honestly can't see why anyone of your intelligence and skill set would ever want to live in China.

For almost 7 years now I've had the immense honour and pleasure to play AND work on my one most favouritest MMO of all time (I'm making my very own Grammar policing instincts cringe with horror right now but the superlative is worth it). I've been able to live on two different continents thanks to that very game and meet many amazing people from all walks of life and from all over the world. It still strikes me as odd when I see how some people still disparage the role of games in our modern society. While I understand the dangers, I have seen first-hand what effect our game has had on a lot of people, not to mention myself! Games like ours bring people together. Games like ours foster the type of communities where people would know and befriend their neighbours. You may not always see eye to eye with them but they're your friends all the same. And I have made friends for life thanks to our game  I don't know how often I'll be able to access my newly created Titan Weapons droid or my Street Justice bandit or any of my now retired characters from China but I will definitely be logging in from time to time to see the amazing things the team is working on come to fruition! What with Dark Astoria, one of my favourite areas, getting spookier and increasingly more captivating story arcs (I read the mission texts, I do!) that our talented designers conjure out of thin air for us. Thank you to all of you whom I've crossed path with during the past 7 years. Thank you for treating me as one of you on my personal characters (you couldn't know it was me but still  ) and thank you for treating me with respect on my Avatea. Zai jian! P.S.: I'm not actually leaving today but Zwillinger forced me, he forced me to post it today so he had a reason to get me on Ustream, woe is me |

I'm sorry what was that, I couldn't hear you over my TRAGIC PAST!!
Thank you for being here and good luck and god speed on your new adventures in the Far East! I had some other stuff to say but everyone else have said them and I got something in my eye...
Wow, island girl, we're going to miss you here! You're totally loved (if it isn't obvious already), and the forums will be a bit less bright with you gone
I hope while you're flying over the great blue Pacific you look down on our humble island chain and wave, knowing I'm pretty darn jealous! I've never been to China before, and you'll be so close to Japan (one of my favorite places on Earth) that I could cry 
In short; congratulations on this wonderful opportunity. I'm sure its a big move (not your first), but must be sooo exciting!
Just to give you another idea of how awesome the COH community is: on my regular gaming forum your leaving is already a topic of discussion in our COH thread, and one of my friends gave me a 30-day timecard just so I could say goodbye since I was just a Premium player for the past few months.
Thank you for helping nurture our French and English communities here on the boards, making a big world a little more friendly. Thank you for all your humor and well mannered posts (even when we're flamish). Thank you for responding to questions and PM's, and generally being so great and helpful here on the boards. COH's official boards really do stand high above the other official boards I've seen and participated on, even at its relative worst. At its best? No contest ^_^

I'm late to the party on this one, but I am also sorry to see you go. I am however sure that the new horizons in that wonderful country (net access notwithstanding ) will bring you and your husband many new exciting opportunities.
To lift a quote from Star Trek, May the Great Bird of the Galaxy watch over you. I find that oddly appropriate, somehow.
Perhaps we'll meet you again, one sunny day.

Going to miss you, Avatea! *Power Hug* Hope you are blessed to always be surrounded with people as interesting and friendly as you yourself are. Meaning - With the very best people there are!
Many community reps have come and gone Avatea, but I have to say, you were(are) the very best. I am truly sad to see you go. I wish you the best in China and beyond. Have a blast and enjoy new opportunities.
