"I can't speak. I can barely breathe. We've all been through so much together, even if we've never met. People have come and gone. Heroes have risen... and fallen. And all good things come to an end. But even if we are to no longer be, heroism is forever.

And the story will go on."


I joined this game in August of 2009, just before the launch of Issue 16. Several friends were really into the game and I was curious. I asked them to send me a trial invite, and I soon subscribed to the game. I came here, to Virtue, the unofficial RP server, in part because I wanted to RP, and in part because it was my friends' home server. I found a friendly, welcoming, rich community.

That's you guys.

As my characters were born and grew, I made as many friends as they did. I found amazingly generous people, always willing to go out of their way to help. I became acquainted with the community of the Cape Radio, and a bit later, RP Virtue. I became determined to pay all that kindness and all those good times forward, and I can only hope I've touched some of you the way you have touched me.

This game, and this server, are made up of the most faithful, wonderful people I know. I cannot begin to name all of the people I have befriended in this game - my global friend list is something like six pages long - but I want to thank each and every one of you for making this game, this community, what it IS. I've only been here for so long, but it feels like a part of my life.

And even though the game is ending, the friendships and memories we built together will stay. I'm going to hang onto all of that, and all of you, as long as I can.

Thank you for everything, Virtue. It's been a hell of a ride. I can't believe it's almost over.

I love you all.
