I am resigning as Staff Administrator

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:
 
Thank you for the compliment. I was aware of this for some time, however it is still somewhat saddening to see you leave SoD.

I'll hold down the fort till Dawntide :toot:
 
It's the end of an era of zodium tyranny.

Seriously though, you've done a good job, and DawnTide will need all the time you can spend on it. :)
 
It's pretty sad to see you go zod, even if you haven't logged on or anything of that nature for awhile now.
 
Sad to see you leaving Zod, I didn't know you all that well but from what experience I have had, you have been a great admin and a good guy, and an exceptionally funny insulter.
 
At least it is someone we know who is capable like Liam =)

Looking forward to Dawntide!
 
Thanks for all work you've done here. Good to know you will still be involved with developing Dawntide.

Sad to see you leave SoD Zodium, but I'm happy to read that you are staying with the DawnTide project!
 
You know I'll be on dawntide right there with you :), hopin to see the good ole days of zodium tyranny return!
 
Good work, Zodium. We'll butt heads and infuriate each other when Dawntide rolls around. :psyduck:

Be well! :)

And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
