Thank you

I've felt bad juju about the state of the game for a while now.  But I wished I was wrong.  This is horrible   I'm truly shocked, and saddened.  I love Mega City, and not sure what it will be like to not have this world to escape to anymore.  I hope the servers stay open a little while longer.  I'm not ready to go.

I guess what I'm feeling now is:

"I have dreamed a dream; and now that dream has gone away from me."

On the other hand:

"It is only when you lose everything, that you're free to do anything."

An Era has ended.

All the best for the future Ben.

All good things must come to an end.

... I have no more cliche's left

Can we get some details from Brenlo or any of the other 10 admin that are on the forums?

No doubt. SOE really should be responding to the worried subscribers on there looking to know what will happen next. I personally know with no hope of new content and storyline advancement I'll probably go elsewhere...

Oooh.. I don't feel very good :( My heart just broke:(

I hope you understand that I don't have the words to say how much I want to thank you and am grateful for everything you have done. I can just say that I don't know how to say it and hope that you know what I am trying to express :(

We love you and wish you all the best in your future!

I called it. Oh, I so called it...

Yet somehow I don't feel any better.

Hey Rarebit. Sorry to see you going. Its been a pleasure knowing you, and who knows we may meet in the future. Fanfaire was awesome, and again sorry for kicking your... . Good luck in whatever you do mista! Farewell!

Wow, I really didn't see this coming. As for me, I always said: as long as Rarebit is here, MxO will be here.

You ARE what makes MxO worth playing because of the effort you've put into MxO and a lot of heart.

This is very sad news indeed, MxO will not/could ever be the same without you, Rarebit. So take care.

Sadly this could be the final nail in the coffin for this game...

You will be missed Rarebit.  I'll always think of you as one of the only people who showed a genuine interest in this game and its players.  It won't be the same without you.

I am so sorry to see you go.  But you must do what is right for you.

You will never be forgotten by everyone here.

You made this game, and it is really is a sad day... You are pretty much solely responsible for what this game is, and it simply will not be the same. Like I said previously, all the best, and your efforts (despite the occasional poor reception) will never be forgotton and were never taken for granted. But yeah, sadly, this is probably it for MxO.

Goodbye Rare.  It's been real.

Thanks for all the event help in the past 3 yrs Rare, you sure went above and beyond your call of duty....this place will not be the same without you.  I can only hope your replacement, if you even have any, will try to do 1/10th of what you did.

Take care

Oddly enough I did get a really nasty sinking feeling in my chest when I first read the thread, spose it goes to show how much I actually care about this game =P

Thanks for being the Charlton Heston to our slave driving Egyptian Overlords for so long Rare.  Good luck.

So sorry to see you go Rare.

You have done an excellent job with MxO through the years. It's such a shame to see you go.

Take care and good luck.

Goodbye Rarebit, thanks for all the fun ingame and keeping me entertained. and a special thanks for this moment...

...it really did make my day

Hope everything goes well for you in the future.

You too huh? I know I wasn't here from the start, but I've loved every second of this wild ride. I get that feeling of rollercoaster pulling up to the station, the rides over and the park closes very soon.

Thanks for all the good moments , for all you have do for mxo and for us .

Good luck .

Au revoir.

Well, Rare...  out of respect, the only thing I can bring myself to say is that I wish things had been different.

Take it sleazy, man.

Wish you only the best in all your endeavors Rarebit. Thanks for all your time riding along with us.

"We can never see past the choices we don't understand."

I don't understand where this game will be going now. Nevertheless, even though my time jacked in is measured in months as opposed to years as many have; I have enjoyed the game, thanks in a great part to 'Rarebit".  

And now you are leaving.

I wish you well on your follow-on endeavors Ben and look in on us now and then if we still exist.

Yeah, I'm with you guys, I'm genuinely pretty bummed out about this. As much as it pains me to say it, this game has been a big part of my life for the last 4 years or so. I feel like a big part of that is about to depart, and it's likely going to be followed by the rest of it.

Was gonna happen sooner or later.

And yet I assume quite a few of us were hoping for later.

Best of luck Ben, if you're ever in SW WA or NW OR for any reason shoot me an email and we can grab some sushi or something.

/bowhead

It was nice meeting/getting to talk to you at Fan Faire, and I wish you the best of luck to where ever you may end up.

I might regret it if I didnt post in this thread... so here it is... im posting.

Rarebit, you have been the heart and soul of MxO ever since I started playing.  I really don't know how to describe how it feels to see you go.  I do know I always trusted you to make good choices for us and for MxO so I can only assume you've used your good judgement to make a choice that is right for you too.  I don't need to say you'll be sorely missed but I do need to say, on behalf of everyone, we love you.

qft on everything said here

thanks for everything you have done for this game rarebit, feel free to give me a shout if you are looking for a multiplayer game partner

Jesus, I feel like I was just dumped.

Hats off to you, Rare.  You did a lot with what you had, and when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Hope things work out for you in the future.

A little more selfishly, I hope things work out for us here, too.

Zippy, I'm gonna miss you more than anything else. lol.

You know, even though I don't speak too much on the forums, I have always had an interest in the game and have payed attention through thick and thin. It is indeed an end to a great era which was full of ups and downs. I don't regret devoting my time to this game because it always seemed to work out in the end. Rarebit, I hope you have a great life down the road. I know that everyone needs a change and I'm sure you have a lot on your shoulders with running this circus, lol. Thank you for your dedication and the excitement you brought to the game. There is definitely no one who can truly take up where you left off because there is no other dev like you. You are the best.

As for me, nothing really has changed. I am still watching and I guess I'll go from there.

Miss me? Where the hell do you think you're going? Oh, no, you're staying right here with me! Now that we know the ship is sinking, why would we jump? Aaalllll the way down, brother-in-animal-themed-name-arms!

This truly saddens me. I love this game and it will be sad to see it go. Thank you.

So long.

Rarebit.. Finally time for you to buy a TV! They've got these thin ones now.. oh and you can get them in high definition too!

Next time I'll be sure to cater to you, Zip.

Dude, enough with the innuendo, I mean, really, I know that with this tragic news, you and everyone here will want to snuggle with yours truly, but I only have enough me to go around for the women.

Lotta loyaly here, land somwhere else let us know. Thanks for always putting in the effort, was appriciated greatly.

But no, its a good point that I'd totally forgotten about. See y'all over there =D

You try really really hard.  Fortunately, it's entertaining.

That said, I'm not going anywhere.  I'll be sure to stick around and give Squirrels fodder to make things I say pervereted and sick!

what saddens me personally is that it takes shocking news like this to drive the MxO community of out of woodwork. The forums are never this active, and the servers certainly haven't improved any in the participation level...

*Misses Rarebit Already*

*also at playdohs comment... i'd play another game that Rarebit develops

sorry to see you go but gl with whatever you do

Like Saint Nicks, it's difficult not to be heartbroken by this news, and so I'll embrace those tears and use them to smile and remember everything that has brought a smile to my face when thinking about the wonderful and unique interactive experience we are blessed with as players in MxO. I don't want to call this a game, because like many people have said, it's been more than that to us.

I remember the excitement of jacking into open beta, and then finding the wonderful family that was the Sirens. MxO is truly unique - A story-driven MMO that actually focuses on an epic storyline and making the players truly feel they're contributing parts of that storyline. No other MMO on the market can compare. I remember scrambling through live events with my Siren sisters and having the results of our efforts actually influence storylines to the Merovingian faction's favour, while those on other servers influenced it to their factions. Truly brilliant.

Thank you, Rarebit, for being our champion here for so long. For all the work you've done keeping this dream alive for us. For carrying our torch and doing such a shockingly amazing mountain of work with such limited resources.

I have never cancelled my subscription, even during long absences and breaks away from the game. I believe in MxO and want to show my support even in such a small way, and I know I'm not the only one to have done so.

On behalf of the Sirens, thank you for every ounce of love and labour you have given to MxO, and all the best for everything you do in the future.

I would love more than anything to have a complete documentation of all of MxO's story, but that would be massive.

Walrus!

a sad day, ive not been playing for more than a month, but i love the game, and its sad to see its inevitible death, if it does die, i hope everyone who has not been able to get to level 50 yet can be leveled to 50 by the admins so we can appreciate the cinematics and effects/moves and parts of the skill trees we were never able to reach in time to appreciate, so that all players can have as much fun as possible before the world shuts down

Yes, I think the lowbies definitely deserve a lvl boost.
