I know, there are like a million of these, but i assure you, i am leaving this game. it was a great run. i had lots of fun. so, without further ado, my words of parting:
To my friends:
Thank you. Forever. Without your shoulders, I would have fallen on my face long ago. The advice, the help, the mission runs, everything, I have it written in my heart, and I will not forget you. You made this a wonderful place, and I am glad I could help you in return. I take all the joy you have given to me, and it will light my way into whatever my future holds. I will take your lended strength and walk into my new life. Now I know what it means to have comrades. It means you never walk anywhere alone, even if you are separated by thousands of miles.
To my enemies:
I look back, and I regret that we couldn’t have settled our differences. I no longer bear any ill will to you, and I hope, that at the least, my absence brings you peace. Please don’t bear any grudge to me, but if you must, I understand. Even though you may dislike me, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
To those who are just coming in:
The world I leave isn’t perfect. But it isn’t all bad either. There are a lot of citizens who will help you out of kindness. There are many out there who will help, if you ask. It never hurts to ask. Even a shout across the bust streets of lower Jeuno may steer you in the right direction. Have patience, even if the guy is a rank 9 whatever. Even the most seasoned veteran has a noobish moment. Have patience with the guys newer than you as well. Steer them correctly. Lastly, don’t be an @sshat, sell **** cheap. :3
To the veterans:
Suffer the noobs, for they are the future of the world. Don’t call them stupid, just correct them. Have a tiny bit of patience, for once upon a time, you were a noob too. Humility opens doors, patience forges strong players, and kindness is returned 10 fold.
To everyone else in between:
I will miss you all. Please, as my last wish for all of you, do something nice for your fellow player. Buy them a yag brew. Escort their little job though the dunes. Sit down and just talk. Invite that poor nerfed ranger. Make a “just for giggles†party of all levels and jobs and go *gasp* have real fun. I want to leave this place knowing that for once, someone had fun, instead of the usual grind to 75 cr@p. Remember, you don’t need to do anything in order to have a bit of fun.
{Take care}.
For real.
