The Great Departure ((An OOC Post. PLEASE READ))

[Jdsd 6]

So...You guys are leaving because of lack of appreciation?

I'm sorry you're leaving, g'bye. :'[

I'll miss Sue the most. D;

[Damien Glaft 18]

I...I don't know what to say. I am extremely saddened. The RP in this server has suffered a great loss. To all the sages, i thank you for all the hard work you have put it into this. All The friends I had, some of the greatest Rp'ers are gone. My heart aches As I write this sentence, But goodbye ascended. Goodbye to all the great events. Good bye to all the great people. Good bye to all the great friends. Good bye to you, I will miss you. I would like to share a final word with you lads.

How ever long you are gone, How ever far you go, We will not forget you, You are a part of our heart.

The sages were the only thing keeping haven and the citadel chained to this realm. With their absence, they have been ripped back to the realm of the Aenguls.

[JCQuiinn 168]

It appears I am one of the last, if not the last, Ascended. I am asking a question to the staff as a whole, where should I go from here? Finding myself in this position is uncomfortable, but I will do what I can. I would of sent this as a PM, but I cannot send one to Availer for some reason.

I would appreciate a reply as soon as is possible,

Sadly to see you go, even if I had some trouble with some of your guys. So you leave the server aswell? I hope not!

Greetings

As being one of the only FoA members on, when this happen. I must say.. Even being here for two days, I had a fun time interacting with most of the Sages. I wish you all the best wherever you go and the best of luck. The Followers of Aeriel will not die. This I promise.

Tis' a sad time in Aegis...

Aeriel has reclaimed her children after they have done so much for our realm. All of you will be remembered by I, I shall never forget your presence amongst our people. Ye will always hold a special place within my heart and the heart of every follower. The common folk may not have given you the respect that ye deserved, but I have always thought highly of ye in every situation. I will continue on in my defense of Aegis along side other gracious Followers of Aeriel. We shan't lose hope for Aegis. We shall continue on in your memory and honor everything you have ever stood for. The Followers of Aeriel will continue on despite the dark times that approach. We will be there to guard Aegis. You will never be forgotten. I will make sure of this personally. I am glad to have known ye and have grown close to a couple of ye. Farewell O' Wise Sages.. Farewell...

-Forever a Follower of Aeriel and forever your friend,

Followers Of Aeriel Major Twilight Storm.

*looks at each staff member* well... i really dont know who is at fault here, but whoever is i would just like to say that i am INCREDIBLY dissapointed, staff members are supposed to be the best of us, not bullies. i think there are many here who would agree.

[Xerxes_XIII 2 200]

and to the sages, i am terribly saddened to hear of your choice but i do not blame you for yer decision, it has been my ambition to join you for almost 6 months now and it is disappointing that that shall not happen, however, i will devote my life to serving aeriel, and i WILL keep yer memory alive, no matter what the cost. Farewell sages.

With great sadness,

Lyle Greenburrow

*pins the note up and walks away thinking of ways to keep their memory alive*

I personally did not like the Ascended all too much, but i must admit, everyone loved you guys and you will be sorely missed, i wish you luck in the future!

Also thank you for giving everyone a very great, fun, rich, RP experience. You da man!

[argonian 14254]

Damn, I can't believe a member of the staff was the reason you guys quit. I'm sorry for you and I'm sorry you had to leave.

I've only been here for all of two days and I've seen some amazing things. Fled as the undead attacked the kingdom of Oren, got sucked into a rebellion plot by accident, and watched the princess die before my eyes. None of this could've happened without the work and dedication of the Ascended. I'm only saddened that I didn't get to see some of the amazing battles and events you guys made possible! The Ascended also did something that I really, really envied; they helped people. One of my favorite things to do in minecraft is to serve the public good, and in the 5 days I knew about this server I really looked up to you guys. My heart goes out to all the Ascended left with out mentors, and all the Undead left without proper enemies. But most of all I feel sorry for all of those like me with nothing to aspire to. Kings can be corrupt and traders can turn greedy, but there was never an evil Sage. This, I know.

P.S.: I never got to tell you guys, but Oren is kind of about to play a game of Tzeentch rules rugby, and the Sages are the only ones not wrapped up in this somehow. Who am I going to tell THE TRUTH(!!!) to now? The guards? Or maybe the Undead? This is truly a sad day for Aegis.

Wow, going to bed I had only just heard of Arcadius' resignation, but I didn't expect all of this. I understand where you fellows are coming from, being Undead and all, about the lack of appreciation. Both races have given so much of their time and ability to play like a normal player to make the community better, yet we're severely under appreciated. I do agree that removal of the races is a cop-out, and the statements that "we've tried everything to fix it" is just an excuse.

I've only had the chance to interact with some of you, and mostly OOC, but they have always been pleasant and fun. From Super Sue showering me with cakes or Blaedr tirelessly building Casandraland along side me, as I soak in the sun and sip lemonade of course.

IC Though you know my response is " MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

OOC tho my response is " :( "

[problematic z 477]

Well it saddens me to see this.

I think i should lighten the mood.

Watch this:

[Availer 681]

Goodbye.

The Ascended and Undead are being removed with the release of LoTC 2.0 for those who are unaware. Thank you for your time and we hope you enjoyed playing on LoTC.
