This makes me very sad, very sad indeed. 
But an end is always a start - so good luck to you and your hubby an all future endeavours... 
China... wow... China... 
I had the pleasure of meeting Avatea at the 2009 herocon, she is very nice in person and very huggable!
Goodbye Avatea! You are a great community rep, thank you for everything! And good luck with the future.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
I think everyone needs to assemble in Pocket D to send you off with a fine farewell! Best of luck on your new adventures!

@Thexder
I don't think I've been this sad to see a mod leave since we lost Bridger. You have always been immensely helpful and approachable, a great advocate for the EU community even after you went to teh Americans.
May you and yours continue to find great adventure out there, wherever you go!
Awww man!!
Avatea, on behalf of everyone at Rogues Radio, you will be truly missed! You've been immensely helpful to us over the past year or two as we got the station running and one of the high points was when Rosie got to interview you (she still talks about it! )
Take care in all you do and we wish you all the best for future!

I know I will miss you around as dev...
Asia is a challenge and a different place all-together. Adventure for sure if you have never been there. Fun and a world of change if you are going to live there. I wish you and your husband all the best.

I'll miss your posts and seeing you/chatting with you at conventions, but I'm sure opportunity and adventure await you in the east (though I sincerely suggest you fly west - it'll be quicker).
Take care, and send us a panda!

Many thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into community, Avatea. You will be missed.
Safe journeys and best wishes!
I find your lack of signature disturbing.

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 |
It was a positive delight to finally meet you last month at the Player Summit. I'm sad that you're leaving the Paragon staff, sadder that you'll be in China (good luck getting out electronically), but I'm enthused with your diving into the eastern horizon, guns blazing and engines on full burn.
I wish you and your husband all the best, and I think I speak for all of us (at least the cool people) when I say, "Come back soon, and let us know what you've seen. We'll miss you."

Avatea,
You have been a force of Peace and Justice, and saying that in a superhero MMO Community is something. I hope the future holds bright for you, however you will be sincerely missed here, as no one can replace your cheerful disposition, and ability to get Zwil back on track in the Ustream.
Pull yourself together, take a deep breath, and know that the next adventure is just around the corner. Good luck in that adventure...

High drama aside. I am glad I missed this post for one more day with Avatea in her place, but I do wish you and your husband all the best, Tia. Go get 'em, Tiger! They wont know what hit 'em over there. And with you two in China; there just may be some hope for them yet. You have been the best, and thank you for being here. Blessings!
Now I am going to have to travel to China to get my yearly pic with Avatea?

Well, good luck to you in your new ventures, and don't be a stranger and stop by and say hi from time to time. Unless they shoot you for that: its so hard to keep up to date on China.

I get the distinct impression that you do not need to be reminded to keep on chasing the adventures and challenges.
I hope much happiness awaits you and the husband!
P.S. Thanks for the PM honor! I bet you say that to everyone you replied to!

Take care Avatea,this game's loss of a always nice and wonderful community rep that's just like one of the gang,is China's gain. May your future endeavors flourish aplenty where you're going! Once you get settled down,do log in from time to time and expect the onslaught of warm hugs!
