    For those of you that do not already know.. I have decided to leave EverQuest behind.

    With <Austerity> folding, and a few other factors that don't really need to be discussed -- it's time for me to at the very least step away for a while.

    A lot of you may not know me; but I've been on TAKP since very near to the beginning. I was a former member of the AK community and a member of <Vintage> (which was a really fun progression guild that was still in Velious when the server sunset).

    I had originally played EverQuest back in 2001 for a number of years and always looked back on it with nostalgia (looking up the music for Kelethin on youtube.com always hit the nostalgia bone hard).
    So you can imagine how excited I was to discover that when I purchased my first Mac.. there was a Mac only server and it was frozen in Plane of Power!

    I played on AK for a few years, and then it was taken away.. Years later, I had some <Vintage> guildies pulling to get me to try out P99.
    That was fun, and extremely challenging. I played a Warrior up to L22 but just couldn't get into the community.. It wasn't the same..

    Then came TAKP. . and I just want to take a moment to remind you just how special this server is, and the community we are creating is.
    Thank you to all the devs, and players that have worked tirelessly to recreate this (Al'Kabor) experience.

    I found my guild home in <Destiny>.. a familiar name from AK -- and where I knew a few of the players.
    This was likely my most favourite guild experience to date! We had our ups and downs, and influxes of players -- we always strove to be a casual guild that was good at raiding.
    Despite my dice being borked, the company made it all worth it!

    Unfortunately <Destiny> had a major change, and it was one that saw many players leave to join other guildships, or to return to their ancestral homes in <Temerity>.

    It was at this point that I joined <Austerity> and very much found a new home with very thoughtful, helpful and welcoming players.
    While it was short, it was an amazing experience. Thank you Jon and Chelsea for welcoming me, and for all the <Austerity> members for making me feel so at home.

    It is my greatest hope that you all continue to grow with this community, to work together and have amazing adventures. I hope that you earn all the pixels you've ever desired.

    Sincerely,
    G

    I may swing back around from time to time, to say hello -- if you need to reach me.. message me here on the boards.

    Grosk your a great time, and it seems like you have a good group of RL friends around you. This seems like a good chance to spend more time with them. This server will be around for along time, so come back to say hello when you get a chance. It was always great chatting with you.

    I'm sad to hear this for selfish reasons, but I wish all the best for you. I hope we cross paths again sometime (maybe it will even take fewer years than it did this last time)!

    Grosk, I'm sorry we haven't had many chances to adventure through Norrath lately. I definitely understand needing to take a break, and I look forward to the times you do pop in again. Take care bud.

    think of it as a compliment, you're famous enough someone would steal your name
    I've had my name stolen on a progression server also, the person stole and bunch of names and wanted ransom money (krono or something) to release the names
    the plan didn't quite work out...

    TLP servers bring out the finest people :)

    have fun on your break Grosk and see you again soon
