Thank you everyone for the memories :)
 

So as some of you may have noticed, I gave up ownership over my account (Arkyiane and Arkyiani) since real life needs some things that need sorting out and p1999 wasnt exactly helping. I do have a small little cleric that I made just to log in when I have a few minutes to say hello to everyone, but them times may be few and far in between.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the memories. The main reason I played on the server was to help people - and I tried my best to do that. Most people who leveled in Oasis at one time or another was most likely helped by me in some way. The drive by clarities were also something I'll miss. It was almost like a game seeing if I could cast fast enough to land it on someone before they got out of range, lol.

Anyway. It was a blast playing with everyone and maybe one day when things are so bad I'll find time to start leveling up a new character.

Although, it does pain me a bit to see that people I've been friends with for so long, that their care wasnt in that I was gone, it was over the items my character had were. So sadly some people see loot as more important then friendship, but then again thats most likely why they play. I played for the people, the bonds, and the rest I could care less about.

Keep up the great community - even you r&f people have your part. Without you guys, the other people wouldnt look so friendly. lol. Joking aside though, I've never played a game where I've felt as if the people were my friends, not just people playing on the other end, other then EQ, and p1999 does a great job recreating that.

I prided myself on being the most helpful person I could be in EQ, and I can only hope that some other people take my place since I'm gone. It wouldnt be the same without the random, thoughtless helping of others.

So I guess all I really want to say is Thank you. Even if I was the one helping you, I thank you for the time I was able to spend just talking with you all and meeting every single one of you. It kills me that I have to do this but difficult choices aren't called that because they are easy.

I'll still pop on the forums when I have a chance (even though my work blocks project1999.org, can you believe that? horrible. I know) and hopefully one I'll be back in game like old times :)

Be safe everyone and Thank you for everything.

I'll miss you, Arky. <3

Bye Arky, great playing with you. Cheers and good luck!

Gonna miss you around man! Sucks it has to end like this! Hope all goes well with the RL stuff!

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Nicest person I have met, I was in OT LFG for like 30 minutes with no luck so Arky sends me a tell to come to SF Ramp. And imagine this I get one of the best PLs of my life from an Enchanter, it was awesome. I've seen him in oasis giving away amazing items to noobs. Will never be able to replace a person like this. You will be missed man! Good Luck in the Real World for now!

I feel I need to respond to this quick bit:

That's not really a fair thing to say. I know some of the people you're referring to, and it was due to how it was handled. We found out because someone knew the person who bought your account, not hearing it from you first.

Some members felt the guild had invested a lot of time into your toons, and this robbed that investment. You can't claim to not be about loot or care at all, when you stripped and sold them for PP, for a game you said you were done with. It's just some obvious hypocrisy. You obviously cared more about taking the time to sell all your droppables and sell the account (which would've taken time) than telling the guild what was happening. That's why people are upset.

I didn't really want to put such statements in a goodbye thread, but you can't make wrong statements about people caring "more about loot than friendship" without me calling bullshit on it.

Anywhos, I personally don't care what you did with your toon, loot, pp, whatever, but hope you get your RL shit straightened out! Good luck man!
