Dear Cenarion Circle,
It's hard to believe that eight years have passed since my character first came into being on this server. Over that time, I've watched many depart, I've read every goodbye post that has appeared on our server forum even when I did not know the person and wondered what I would say in my goodbye post one day. Now it is my turn to finally say good bye, and despite all of my ponderings over the years, I find that in the end, I really have very little left to say. Most of my emotional investments throughout my long, continuous journey through all that Azeroth had to offer have long ago resolved in one way or another, and now I make my formal farewell as my character is committed to being quite possibly offline forevermore.
My account officially expires on the 22nd. Some of you might see me pop into game to wrap up final loose ends before then. I don't know as many members of the community anymore, as a lot of people have left over the years, and my increasingly busy life schedule has prevented me from getting to know people like I did in the past. Regardless, I wanted to extend a huge Thank You to the folks here on CC, especially to the RP community. You guys bring flavor to the server, for me you've always been the soul of what I think of when I think of Cenarion Circle. Despite the abuse that you guys sustain, you always rise above it, continuing to breathe life into a world that is otherwise nothing but pretty graphics and lots of numbers. Thank you for helping make my long stay memorable. I am extremely grateful for the years of overwhelming, unwavering support that you guys have shown not only myself, but to my guild. I feel lucky to have been able to randomly encounter those of you in the world acting out your great stories, or simply taking a leisurely stroll through town in simple garments that contrast strikingly with the ridiculous armor that our characters wear. I'm still not sure how it is that I've managed to establish friendly relations with not only players who have been Alliance their whole lives, but also with the same type of players that are on the Horde side.
I'm really glad to have made CC my home. It has both directly and indirectly given me some of the most important things in my life. I met my husband seven years ago on CC. CC has provided the sort of environment that draws people of like mind to me, even though none of us are RPers, with whom I've established long term real life friendships. I would be lying if I made it sound like it was all happy times, but even the most trying circumstances have never made me question my decision to remain on this server all these years.
Warcraftier will still be around and raiding, but among other things they'll need a new bear butt. Qualified bear butts please go apply! :D
I'll still be playing Blizzard games occasionally, so for those of you who want my battletag or other contact info, drop me a note before the 22nd. Otherwise, take care everyone, and best wishes! :)
