Tell us what game you end up going to!
That way we can all have the chance to test it to see if we like it!
If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop the story. This may not be where we chose to end this story, but the bigger story continues.
Thank you, Andy, and good luck.

Thank you for everything Zwill. Enjoy the family time and I hope the next endeavour happens quickly. We won't forget you or the other devs.
NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.

Farewell good sir. While I have not been very active on the forums these last few years and the circumstances of my recent revival in activity here is sad, I wish you well in your future efforts and especially in job hunting.
Keep the family happy - it's why my posting dwindled to begin with.

Sad to see you go, Z, but I guess it as to happen. Unfortunately it's starting to feel like efforts to keep Paragon Studios are becoming increasingly long shots.
