Well, its been slowly leading to this, and i cant say i expected it to end THIS way,  but sadly it did. Note to all reading: this is not a qq u guyz succk and dont gimme purplz /gquit, but rather an indefenite hiatus

For the past 4 years of my life WoW, (and for the majority of those 4 wow years the Downfall community) have been a constant in my life. I would never quit WoW on my own terms, not because i enjoy the game, but because i enjoy the people. Mainly you people (yes, even you turff and Closer, even if it dont seem like it). Some of you i only recently met, but alot of you ive actually grown up knowing.

Yes i said it, ive grown up knowing internet personas, and actually being influenced by them. Thats what happens when you start playing a video game at age 12, and play that same game with those same people through your adolesence. People i talked with when i first started with raid awesome have had a lasting impression on me, and even though ive moved around lots since than, alot of my fonder memories are of being in essentially a 40 person chatroom with asplosions. Ive had dogs die, friends leave, brothers move out, but Downfall, Raid awesome, whatever you were called / are calling yourselves, you guys were constantly there to provide humor, advice, and most importantly open ears...or, eyes.

Due to some recent issues in real life however, (see "Joy riding is not as joyous as one would think") it would seem that my WoW time is coming to an end. I dont know if its coming to an end for real however. I outgrew the game itsself a long time ago, but everytime i think im about to outgrow the entire WoW universe wholely, you guys grow up.  As i hit one landmark (lets say getting my beginners license), you guys hit others (BABEHHHZ), and i actually feel more joy for yall than i do when RL people i knos accomplish something, so i think that counts for something. Irregardless of sappy feelings (this is the ONLY thing ive gotten sappy about over the internet), I hope yall are still here when i come back, otherwise there wont be much point in coming back.

Even though we've never "met", i love yall a whole bunch, in the most legal way possible. I hope nothing bad happens and downfall neverasplodes, and if you guys switch games as an entire crew i want to hear about it one way or another.

In summary, I bid you see ya later hopefully

thanks for bein one of the main pillars of my adolesence, for the good and bad.
