To the best Raiding Guild on the server,
Its with heavy heart and deep sadness, that I announce my retirement from EQ.

When Life, stress, and health all take a turn in life, you have to take a step back and try to change things to make them better.

I can't thank everyone enough for giving a lowly wiseass SK that hardly knew how to play his class a home away from home. It has been one of the most rewarding and exciting year and a half of my life playing a game ever.

I think Hellknight said it best, when he said, "I never knew how to play an SK very well-I just had better Macros than the next guy"
That about sums it up. Even though some will argue, I may not have known how lol.

It was humbling, and an honor to stand next to the best tanks in the game that truly knew how to play their classes.
The healers in the game were on point, and kept me up, no matter how much my HPs fell.
The other classes def were on point.....most of them at least.
The leadership was amazing, and patient-even with lists, and people messing up.
Some of the best people in the game, and always made me feel welcome
There were times when I actually felt like I knew the strats, and gave helpful feedback on how to beat things.
Then I fell behind. I felt tired, started logging off early, and eventually, logging on became more of a chore than fun. When fun turned into hard work, grinding for countless hours.
I became more tired than awake, and health hasn't been great. Didn't want to do it, and fell into denial.

To all of you, there is nothing any of you can't do. And hopefully, you find it inside and outside of the game.
Try it outside sometimes-it can be just as great.

Thank you for everything.
I'm not crying...you're crying.
Now you can roast me...I deserve it.
