Well. This is Goodbye, for now.

Post by CookieMonster »

It has been a very eventful period in my life the passed few months, I have taken on more work and myself and my fiancee are trying to start our own family so we have to take the time to prepare ourselves mentally, physically and financially.

I really want to say that, despite having played on Arelith for many years, Rosalie has been one of my very favorite characters and has been a huge source of enjoyment for the many months I played her. I have interacted with Players, Characters and Staff on an RP Level that I haven't had the chance to with any other character, I even managed to bluff myself into a 30RPR which I was delighted about.

But unfortunately, now is that horrible time where I have to say thank you ALL for the fun you have given to me and wish you all well in your current and future characters and yourselves out of the game. I won't be leaving Arelith forever, but it shall be a period of time that I am not yet sure about before I return and I am really really heartbroken about it.

Hopefully, you guys will find it in your hearts to forgive my sudden departure, because I didn't really have the time to even plan it nor to explain it to those I spend a lot of time with simply because.. Well.. Work.

Names will be difficult, because frankly I have RP'd with hundreds of people and I have enjoyed the company of every single one.

Team Cordor - From the Guard to the Councilors to the Citizens in the streets, I have had the amazing opportunity to RP with you all. I have learned a lot about my character during the time I spent in Cordor from the observations of other figures such as Storm, Syrian, Adalbrandt, Laura, Etana, Torstein and Daijin. Whilst others have been just a privilege to know and to RP with on a regular basis simply for the fun moments that came from it; Rat, Vayna, Nissa, Cuthbert.

Team Triad - I put a huge amount of time as a player into trying to provide a place of RP for those interested in the Triad and I met a lot of memorable people throughout the process and I am grateful for all the time committed into such a simple little cause. Barrital, Terrance, Amaera, Daltanius, Lukasz, Glane, Jarin, Olivia, Tempest.

Team Not Triad - Although I did not get to spend as much time as I wanted to at war with the likes of Evil, I still had many opportunities to get involved in some great RP moments with those of questionable moral standards and I am always grateful to have been included in such from the likes of Roland, Camillia, Stormwind and a few others whom have yet to make public of their dastardly doings.

Guldorand - A little gem for RP that not enough people travel to, I spent a lot of time in and out of Guldorand with it's citizens and it's "Sir Lord Almighty Shield of Protection and Protector Memmorath" (And his poorly named shop :P) everyone in Guldorand welcome RP of all shapes and sizes and put a lot of effort into the quality and the standard of RP that they produce in return!

Wharftown - I got a portrait of Rosalie from the time I spent in Wharftown, if that doesn't warrant a kudos that this whole topic is null and void. But on a more serious note, I got a portrait! PLUS, Wharftown has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, a place where more questionable happenings happen that have rather a thrill factor because what is more scary that a 500k fine. But with characters like Ambroz, Kalika, Sully and Alicia wandering around during the time I spent there, there was never a moment without something to say or to do in Wharftown.

I have missed so many people off of this list it is likely just offensive and I am sorry. But before I do go, I would like to give a big thank you to -

PThree - For being my rock now for a very long period of time, I have always been able to both IC and OOC confinde in you knowing that you have got my back. If ever I have been bored or looking for something to do, you have always provided me with a pass time with Storm's fun size outbursts of anger.

AND

DM_Grumpycat - You involved me in a great many of your events and it inspired me to do better in my RP not just for myself but to involve others around me more as well in the hope to make even a minor amount of the enjoyment I got from your events. You are very much the reason I was motivated into working my hide off to have as much fun on Rosalie as I could as well as trying to make as much fun for others as I could.

Take your time and have a good one while you take it! Your characters always were unique (those I met and had the pleasure to play with. And I wish you all the very best with your family preparations, while I do my own! Getting married on 20th 2016, yay!! :D

Good Luck!

Memm's new title right there! *one thumbs up!*

Thanks bunches for all the awesome interactions, both with Rosalie and Kashal. And good luck with everything you have in store for you!

Rosie was a delight of a character. And I speak now as both DM, and player, in saying that you'll be missed. I look forward to you eventual return, and wish you the very best of fortunes in the mean time.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

Was nice meeting you on the field of battle, and occasionally chatting via tells. You're all right. I wish you the best.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and wishes. I will miss you guys a lot. Though, I will try to check up on the forums when I can to make sure things are running smoothly enough without me :)

I didn't know Rosalie, but I've got two kids and I know, when you're up at crazy hours, trying to get a screaming baby back to sleep, and they finally fall asleep in your arms, and you dare not put them back in their crib/bed ... one hand is enough to play Arelith - albeit not talking very fast ... perhaps we'll see you again!

I've enjoyed every character of yours that I had the good fortune of running across, especially when I had no idea it was you I was roleplaying with. That knock-down, drag-out, gonne-to-the-face fight that Buster had with Kashall has been one of my all-time favorite moments in my time here on the server. And don't get me started on Holando :D

Cheers mate

Take care of yourself
