Not really been on the fora much these last few months.
Time to say goodbye.
Arguably, I've spent too much time on this damned game - not as much as some, and more than others - since 1st January 2006.
To anyone who I have annoyed by speeding through a TF when they wanted to kill everything, I am sorry. I realised after a while that I just couldn't commit hours and hours to TFs. Speed runs were the answer! Whatever the question, speed runs are the answer.
To anyone who had to rez me when I jumped into a mob, tried to take the alpha, then died, thank you.
To my son, Angus (@Tuxedo Boy, then @Tux, then (with server merge) @Fail), who bought the game in July 2005 and begged me to play with him for months (I joined in Jan 2006) then helped me up the steep learning curve, then did all kinds of uber-builds for me using MIDS, then played with me for too many hours, then helped me learn how to do speed runs in most of the main TFs, then went to Uni and left the game behind (understandably), THANK YOU!
To my son, Leo (@Truth Serum, @TS) for teaming with me when he really wanted to be playing CoD. To my son, Teddy, for rolling one MM after another (and usually naming the pets after characters from Scooby Doo).
To all the great players I've teamed with over the years, TFT!
Honourable mentions to @Pistol (uber thugs MM teams on Union way back in the day), @Lal, @Techno, @Princey, @Bumguffy, @Electro Kitty, @Phosphora, @Mean Freeze, @Target, @Qui, @Stone City Hero, @SuperLew, @Dev, @Bananas (@Nanas), @Mr & Mrs Unstoppable, @Cheesy. Sorry to anyone I forgot to mention.
To the toon with the best name I ever saw in the game (not mine): Give Quiche A Chance.
To Golden Girl - too bad about the animated hair that never happened. Why the flippity flip did you never roll another toon???
To my first toon (stone tanker) Shrike's Dad, my first 50 (rad def) Philtrum, my badger (BS/SS scrapper) Traffic Jam, my first true AoE love (spines/fire scrapper) Drive and my last (and greatest) love (claws/fire brute) Vampyr - I've enjoyed playing you all dearly and, if we never meet again, keep fighting the good fight in MMORPG heaven!
To NCSoft - I hope you go bankrupt.
To anyone who tries to get the game up and running again - good luck.
Thank you and good night!
