Hey guys,
I've been with this project for longer than I really have a grasp of, and when exactly I became a staffer is an event lost to time, but I was something like fifteen years old. There's been ups and downs and a hell of a lot of heated arguments with Wiz, but most of all there's been a lot of learning, both about managing a staff that has no concrete incentive to work for you, and about ruling over you silly peons with my iron fist of justice - and most importantly, about what I want to do with my life, which is management, plus many other things too numerous to list here. I've had my brilliant moments, and I've had my exceedingly stupid mistakes ("Dear Ruin" comes to mind). But now, it's time to go.
Today, I am formally stepping down as Staff Administrator of Shards of Dalaya, leaving the job in the capable hands of Liam. I haven't logged into EQ for many months, and even before that I was a rare sight. The issue isn't that I don't believe in this project anymore, it's simply that I don't believe in EQ. I believe that if EQ is to be played, it should be played the SoD way, but killing monsters for the sake of getting better at killing monsters no longer appeals to me - though I had my fun doing it for years; the competitive aspect is addictive. To all the friends I made on Dalaya: I'll still be around on IRC, and my email isn't changing anytime soon, so you know where to find me.
So, what next? Well...Dawntide. We've got big, ambitious plans for this baby, and I'm going to do all I can to see them through. See you there. :toot:
