To my old friends as well as the new ones I have begun to make here with Resolution:

I first off want to thank all my old friends for their overwhelming welcome back to Emarr as well as their sincere attempts to make me feel welcome here. It has been wonderful to see and play the game again with so many friends that I have spent so many days and nights with in this game. I truely am lucky to have you all as my friends. I certainly can not go without giving thanks to the new friends I have made thus far. The officers and members of Resolution have been extremely friendly and inviting in attempts to make me feel at home here, for which I am very grateful. I am very appreciative of being allowed to loot items which were very nice upgrades that I have not had the opportunity to aquire in the past. I sincerely hope that I can put them to good use in helping the guild progress. Those of you that know me know that I do not forget such things and that I will return the favor when I am able. Those that do not know me yet will learn this to be true. In a way, it feels as though I did not leave. To keep a long winded gnomish story consistent with my toons height (short), thank you officers and members of Resolution.

Well I server transfered from Inny to MT to join PE, leaving behind all I had known for my first 3-4 years of EQ. I never went back there, despite requests of friends I had there. Leaving a server is a big decision, especially after years on it. I have only been a full member of 2 guilds in my 8+ years of EQ. Unyielding on Inny and PE on MT/Emarr. I was with both guilds for several years.

I left Emarr twice based on my own assessment of what I wanted in my life at that time. It was my decision then to go elsewhere because I thought I needed a change of venue to bring back my desire to play. I never left on bad terms or was asked to leave. I did it because it was what I felt I needed to do at the time. I felt a change was needed for me, and realized in both cases that what I really needed was a break from the game and took it.

I did not move because I thought there were greener pastures. Each time I left, I quit playing in a short period of time, a month or so, because quite frankly, I had game burnout. The lack of fun on the new server and work took me Europe for indefinite periods. I left Emarr in February. I've spent four + of the last 9 months in Europe for my job and in those 9 months I've not played EQ more than a few days. My job will not send me there again thankfully. I periodically logged on to say hello when I could.

I guess the hidden question being asked of me is will I leave Emarr again? Eventually, I will most certainly quit playing for good, as will we all, either due to inability to play, the game dies, real life or because I just want to. I dont have plans to go elswhere unless I am not wanted around. But we all leave this game at some point, whether it is briefly or permanently.

Certainly if anyone wishes to talk with me about, I am open to discussion. As for the direct question on the contentment of others, I can not answer that question for them. But you take the same risk that a person will leave on anyone who joins a guild.
