I wasn't going to post again... But found I had to post to thank all of you for these amazing posts and kind words... Such an outpouring of love from all of you is humbling... Twink, Mystic is right, it won't get me to stay... But I appreciate your generosity and kindness... I'm glad we made peace and got to play together... Thanks everyone who has offered new equipment etc in this thread or in a pm if I'd return...

I've gone all weepy and am holding the iPad caterwauling... I think you can all know that means I'll miss you in game and on the forum... I knew I was playing PL a lot when I went with hubby to see Colbie Callait and he said of her opening act, "His hair looks just like 'thorn root.'" lol

A friend mentioned in a pm that Fu might have had a bad day. I can understand that... I have days like that... I am sometimes inclined to be snarky on a day like that... But, I always apologize... He hasn't...

I wouldn't be me if I backed down and came back with no apology... But I want you all to know that I appreciate everything you've said and done... I have some wonderful memories... PL was my first game so my memories of it and all of you will stay unique and unreplaced...

It actually crossed my mind a couple of weeks ago to print out some screenies from my fav games just in case I ever get old and forgetful. I made the mistake of mentioning the idea to hubby who wet himself laughing But, you are all real friends to me... And as such, I will miss you and treasure the memories...

Playing in the swamps with Royce as Tricoptera when we were level 30....how hard and how great it was to get one-shotted by Frogmar... Who knew poison blast was so fast? Lol

Playing the moonwalruses with mystic, haikus, hubby, and best friend... Talking and laughing so much I got deaths... Going to Skeller with our team of lower lvl 20's, watching mystic run by with a troll he aggro'd alone on his butt, laughing myself silly when he died, except then the troll found me We were hands-down the most fun team in PL history....

Playing with Dizko when he came back recently and being in his first game with The Fridge. Lol Turns out there's no way to appropriately describe The Fridge... Lol

Being very aware of the K/D ratio... Playing with hubby but only when he was playing kaleidescope for the K/d leaderboards... Any other char hubby plays, he tends to do what Fu thought I do- he runs willynilly into a room... Playing with Raxie who has to be one of the most devoted leaderboarders of all...

Getting King to make a Christmas char, he named it Santaself, so we could level them together... That would have been a blast...

Playing Frozen Nightmare... With best friend, redryder, haikus, necrobane, holybean, etc... People came and went in that game... I laughed more than I ever have... Spellcheck has a mind of its own lol... At the last 1/3 of the last level, best friend and I were alone... We went in to finish the job... We pulled them out one at a time... Sometimes getting more than we bargained for (three with boss) and dying... But we finally cleared that map

My last game was actually the game with Twink, Haikus, Hubby, and best friend... It was a great game... It cost a lot of health pots but definitely was a good game to go out on if I'm winking out of existence....

I remember Furrawn being a tiny lower lvl 20 (21 or 22) and trying to take on Lost with Staffed as matching pure mages in our rainbow robes....one of us would Rez the other then die... Rinse and repeat... We decided that we needed a bear to help... I changed Furrawn to a pally later that night... Went around with the warlord makeup so gothic & cool

My beloved bees.... Beestkllr... Some of my best moments and conversations were with Bees... Too many to recount...

And Kalielle and Canonicalkoi- we would have done great things together in this game... Kali, I think Canonical might be up for things like 25's taking on The Fridge... And our strength chicken team... You should meet her if you haven't... I'll be sorry to miss out on all that...

There are a million more games and wonderful folks that I'm just not thinking of right this second... You matter just as much to me...Also, I wish I had gotten to play more with Cascade, Dawn, and others...

Really the game has two great things going for it:
1)The devs are making a truly groundbreaking game that keeps people playing ad infinitum... Just remember that if people give feedback it is always going to be because they care about the game... Always...
2)All of you...the people playing cross paths, mix new friends with old, and the game becomes new again...

Mystic, I'll pm the email & aim info to you. See, I'm still here thru Saturday morning like I promised you

I tried Halo Reach last night hmmm... There aren't words for how abysmally bad I was.... I think using one stick to orient & one to actually move at the same time is going to take some work I mostly shot the ground or the sky I truly think I might have to buy a game like spongebob to learn to maneuver Feel free to laugh... Hubby sure was... He said I was the first person he'd ever seen play who was going to run out of ammo in the tutorial- and I never hit anything- except a teammate twice

Sending out so much love to you all...
au revoir...
