I will continue to stand vigil in Atlas Park with my torch until the very end. If you do not see me there, I'm either in-game playing (if hidden- dealing with my feelings or want quiet time with my SG, or fulfilling a last-minute desire) or disconnected while AFK (Comcast is not my friend). I'm set up with an AE so there's no reason I sould disconnect naturally (for those who might suggest that).
While I have been doing this, I've seen a handfull of detractors that have sent me tells or in local that attempt to discourage me. If that would work, I'd go to AP33 on Virtue with everyone else (have a Lyc there too). However Champion is my home server. It's the names I know and the people I have become comfortable with at large, warts and all. This has been proven by the occasional checks on my part and seeing other players holding vigil with me, or even the warm tells of support or AFK signs above their heads to the Titan Forums or the online petition, that far outweigh the trifles of folks that want to troll. I do this because I can. I do this because of what this game has meant to me. If my online presence can be measured as a sign of support, feedback, and viabilty, I will continue to keep it running when and while I can- even when I'm offline. Just as important, the support for me doing this, vs what few detractors I've seen, makes me speechless. Thank you.
(and yes I know how to check global names too...)
Don't think me rude if you send me a tell, if I'm not autoDC'd at some point before I check on it, I get it. I quickly ignore all negative feedback and am happy for any positive I see (which is often more, though I see it in local, b'cast, and other channels more) For me I see it as reveling in something we love. In that, I'm not depressed. I'm AFK then anyway, or doing other things. I like that we share this appreciation and love together, and I just want to take a moment to thank you for sharing it with me, when you can. You may never know it, but I sometimes take screenshots of others holding the torch with me even if I don't reply to the tells.
If Champion is your home, keep doing it. I imagine if you want real support, go to Atlas Park 33 on Virtue. That's where all the 'cool kids' are.
But for me, Champion is my home. After spending a day there, I had to come back. Even if it means standing alone.
Especially if it means I get to share it with a few others frome time to time.
Thank you

I couldn't agree more.
