Goodbye

[Okiba]

Goodbye.

Where can I even start....?

Six years, and by god they have been good.

As many of you will know, this has been on the horizon for nearly a year, and set in stone for eight months now as I hurtle toward beginning my new job. And dam, has that time flown, the months slipping by faster than I could of imagined. Too fast, in fact. My new career will have me returning to sea once again, and this time I fully intend to make a full effort with it... no more distractions, ten years of WoW now and it's time to crack on with life. The adventure has to end someday after all. Krogon died a few months ago now, and his farewell has come and gone, now it is my turn to say farewell and thank you from me the player and person.

Though my time in this illustrious guild and gathering of fine souls did not end as I, and likely many others, would of preferred... I can say whole heartedly I hold no grudges or ill feelings. What is done, is done. And with that, I shall cling to a great many fond memories.

I have these fond memories because this guild has a spark of magic that others can't even touch, it has a social bond of friendship that can overcome all hurdles and most importantly it has the gifted ability to provide the single best Roleplay experience that I have ever encountered.

Thanks to this guild I have fought terrible monsters, won great victory's in battle, felt sadness and joy, glory and grief. Scaled the tallest mountains, sank 3 ships (allegedly), Stoked the flames of revolution and made a name for myself and my characters. This guild gave me the tools to make, share and enjoy brilliant experiences and go on a real adventure with friends, and among friends.

But with the end of my adventure, begins so many more. I envy you all, you have so many wonderful things to come. Enjoy the camp fires, the jokes around the shared flame. And most importantly relish the story in all its highs and lows, because the best roleplay tugs on all our heart strings, and we enjoy every second of it.

Along with this farewell, someone will have deposited a little gift into the guild bank to mark my departure. Use it wisely, but most importantly enjoy using it, it's more or less all I have left to give. on top of that, I shall continue to frequent these forums to read your brilliant story's and keep in contact. And lastly, I plan to post a weekly chapter in a story I've had planned for a few years now... Krogon being so old, I built up a considerable and hidden back story to his life before he joined the tribe, so from now on I plan to share it with you all. Part writing practice, part fun, it should with some luck make my 'darkness' story look small scale in the end (though not drive me nearly as frantically neurotic), Any IC reactions/thoughts/reply's to this or the story can go here or there (not that I know how that would work?).

And what else can I say now? I don't know, the pangs of regret in my chest are starting and the itch at the corner of my eye is on its way...

Thank you all, and best luck to this amazing guild in the future. Enjoy the Adventure!

For the blood of the Tribe!

Through the ups and downs, and believe me, there's been both -- you've been an invaluable core member of the guild, one who I could always trust to help out with events or just add to the chatter around the campfire. I -will- miss having you around, but take care out there in the great big world and have fun!

Bye Krogon and good luck. Thanks for all the garrotes, i deserved them all.

Theres a reason there isn't a single guild that can compare to the Blades.

Goodbye Krogon. I wish you all the best and look forwards to your updates

[Groshnok]

Good luck bud.

[Lars]

Bye bye! Good luck!

[Gashuk]

Gonna miss you brother. It's been a wild ride from Arathi to Draenor.

<3

Goodbye and good luck Krogon! It'll be strange not seeing you around anymore.

[Kozgugore]

Didn't get the chance to have a proper talk with you about it, but I sincerely wish you all the best out there, Krogs. It's been a great and very much so a wild ride for the past few years. Be it ups or downs, you were a fine addition to the guild, and one that surely won't soon be forgotten either. I'm sure I'm not the only one who, deep down, hopes you might make a sneaky, little return again at some point, let alone involve you in an RL ORB meeting or the like.

Even so, I hope you have a great time out there. You've waited long enough for it now, so go and live for the real deal! WoW has, for the time being, claimed enough of your time, so make the best of things wherever you plan to be headed! Just don't forget to drop by every now and then. We do love hearing about adventures.
