I will miss you most of all, Bat.

I would feel fortunate if you chose to stay in touch.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors! They will be lucky to have you.

Well, this is depressing news.

Your areas were always amazing and well designed. Your roleplay was always incredibly thoughtful and indepth, never bland. Your leaving is something I don't think the server understands the weight of, and has got me thinking of some things myself.

Regardless, I wish you happiness wherever you go.

I typed out a big wordy thing but it just doesn't feel right either. The cumulative years I've enjoyed with Bat as a player, DM, or dev, can never be quantified.

Arelith would not be what it is today without Bat. Everything from characters, fixtures, areas, quests, mechanics and most importantly: Inspiration.

From before I even knew who Bat was I was trying to follow examples set by characters already rolled before I even started here.

I will miss very, very much =(

One need only play the original game for two minutes to see what you and others have managed to do to make this, by far, the most enjoyable game I have ever played. I have no idea if we've ever met in game, but know that your work is truly appreciated and has given me (and many, many others) countless hours of joy.

Thank you, hope your future is fantastic, and eventually to see you again.

Everything you've put together on the developer end of things has displayed to me a big passion for what you do and your love for this server. The same goes for your roleplay-- all of the interactions we've had have been a treat, and I hope wherever you go you like what you do.

This is really disappointing to hear, but I understand. The game can be life consuming. You're one of the people I wish I could have RPed with more. I hope we can RP again sometime, if only to IC learn Harrow's history and write a book about it. Thank you for the fun RP, and the amazing dev work. I hope that real life things go well. Once I'm done that Dis drawing I'll try and find a way to get it to you.

You've made such huge contributions to this community and I'm so grateful for that. Your roleplay is iconic and I enjoyed every interaction with Sydney across multiple characters. I wish you the best with whatever you go on to do next!

For a very long time now when I've been browsing the forums and even back when I still had time to play, your name has been popping up attached to various updates and projects to make this place better. Thank you for all your hard work, and hopefully you find something new to motivate and drive your creativity.

And if you ever feel nostalgic, this server is probably going to outlive most of us :lol: - so don't be a stranger!

I don't even know what to say. I feel sadness for you leaving, but also happiness for you starting a new chapter in your life and that I've had the pleasure of experiencing you as a player and a developer. Your work here on Arelith has always amazed me. You are incredibly talented and whatever it is you do next, you're going to be amazing. All the best and thank you for good bat times.

10ish years doing work for Arelith? Since at least the Undertower? An more beyond that as a player?

I suppose you've earned some time off. 8-)

You have been such a big part of my Arelith experience both IC and OOC for 9+ years. I'm really sad to see you go. I've enjoyed all our IC interactions both as friends and enemies, and I've learned so much from you. Thank you for all that you've done for the server and for me.

Couldn't send this on Discord, so I'll drop it here:

Heya. Just saw the break Kudos. I'm glad you're pursuing new creative projects, I'm sure you're excited for them. Wanted to say I'll miss you and Sydney, and that I'm glad to the talks and times we've had IC and OOC. You've been a longtime inspiration of mine and while I'm sorry to see you go, I'm glad it's for a positive reason.

So long Bat, you're a wonderful person, an amazing roleplayer and an excellent builder. Wherever you go next will be lucky to have you.

You inspired me to want to be a better roleplayer with every interaction.

Thank you for your time, for your contributions to the server - for everything. Arelith is a better place because of you.

Be seeing you, Bats.
