Hmm. Don't know exactly how to start this. I always thought for some reason that I would leave this game on my own terms rather than it being snatched away from me. Illogical of course, there has always been the possibility of the game closing. However this seems unfinished. There were still tales left to be told and songs to sing. Unfortunately, that seems not to be the case.
It's funny. Victory was literally the first server I logged in to (July 31, 2004). Created my first toon here and that toon ended up being my first 50. I spent some time on another server after I created that toon. It was supposed to be a throw-away toon that I used to get a feel for the game and deleted. Hah! I came back to Victory, started leveling that toon and never really looked back.
I've spent time on other servers but none of them ever really felt like home. The people are the same, sometimes more, sometimes less, but populations aside, each server has it's own unique personality. Freedom with it's bustling crowds, full of new people wanting to be on the most populous server. Virtue (boo... ) with it's role-players. Champion would have to be the drama server. Each server, the same, yet unique.
Then we come to Victory. Our server. I've always believed we were something of a dichotomy. We were supposed to be the "family friendly" server. Heh. I had to look that up when I first heard it. But I guess that is the case. However, we seemed to be the most xenophobic of all the servers. It's true. When new people came to this server and forum section, they'd better have a thick skin and a good sense of humor. Otherwise we sent them screaming off to another server with our singular brand of jackassery and snark. Then, when there was a lull in immigrants (willing or unwilling), we attempted to feast on our own. Dunno. I guess we would be the "mean" server. Regardless, I wouldn't have had it any other way.
I suppose I could end this by saying that I'll miss you all. That is true in the sense that I'll miss the community as a whole. However, the reality on an individual basis is that there are a few of you that I'll miss, a few that I won't miss, and a crap ton of you that I won't remember on December 1st.
In any case, Philly and I have some unfinished business in SWTOR, so I'll probably be there for a little while anyway. On Pot5 and Bastion (Damn server moves/consolidations...). I've dl'd STO and played a little there. (Don't remember my global at the moment, Doh!). After that, I have no idea other than not in any ncsoft game....

*1 - I'm cheap and haven't purchased any games so I can't invite friends and 2 -Don't feel crapped on if I don't answer right away as I currently only log in 2-3 times a week.
I won't say "farewell" but rather "sometime again".
