...to clog up the forums with a goodbye/sappy post. Most of you probably don't even remember me, much less care what I have to say. As much as I've tried to remain quiet during the last few days, I can't help but think about this game and what so many in the community have meant to me. So it's really difficult for me--being the analytical and verbose person that I am *cringe*--to stay silent when something moves me to speak. That's why I'm here.
The Matrix Online, the community, the events, the factions, the wars, the truces--the entire machine (not THAT kind of machine, puhlease! ) was and still holds a HUGE place in my heart. Not everyone can understand this feeling I have. I LOVED this game. I LOVED Artificial Intelligence (best faction ever!! 
). I LOVED the clothing. I LOVED being addicted and staying up until 4AM coding new outfits for my TOTALLY HAWT RSI. I LOVED dreaming with MIDI on a rooftop in Sai Kung about our coding/clothing business that we would start. I especially LOVED running around every part of the world and having fun with my wonderful fiance, Partizan. I didn't enjoy having to find ways to spend time with both him and Merv, though. That part was tough... 
You guys...(and you know who you are, I refuse to list you all)...all of you, from the Machines to the Zionists, all of my Merovingian brothers and sisters--you all made this game worth jacking in for. You guys are the reason it's sad to log in now, when the buddy list doesn't show as much green and world isn't full of battle and banter. I have made some lasting friendships and memories in this game and done some things I can't discuss with people in the real world, because they wouldn't even BEGIN to understand. LOL But all of you guys do...you get it. We all got it and we had a blast and for me, personally, NOTHING has ever compared to this game. I'm not looking back with dreamy eyes. I've ALWAYS felt this way about this game and the community. Was it always pretty? Naw. Were there jackasses sometimes? Sure. But all in all, we all rocked, and we rocked hard! And I thank you.
What I'll remember the best and look back on most fondly are:
1. The Hunt for Azyanna, and how strong and deep my crew was. The protection I had was top notch! Those events were the best, I always had fun participating, so when I had my chance to hide, that was such a thrill!
2. All of the events with Merv were awesome, that was always so much fun for us!
3. The End of Beta--I have never experienced such PURE FEAR while playing a video game in my life. Stupid Agents were just ultra CRAZY and chasing me and everybody else! It was terrifying! LOL The red skies, the eye in the sky, being redundant, being crushed! It was all so awesome and scary and fun!
4. My first real Hyper Jump. And the first time I ever escaped an Agent in Beta...they were crazy. You'd think you got away and then that noise--OMG you knew you weren't safe. RUN!
5. BRAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNZZ!!!!
6. The PvP, especially the times in Mara C. It just got insane, but it was so much fun. Mix that with a little RP and it was golden!
I'll be around here and there for the next 2 months but you can guarantee that you'll see me at the end. I want all of you to be there with me, whether I knew you or not. Please, let's have fun together, make it memorable and give the Matrix the best of us during its last days.
I don't want to offend anyone or favor anyone but I just wouldn't feel right not shouting out my wonderful family, everybody in Artificial Intelligence. I love you guys! We had the best group of players and we always had fun, and looked out for each other. Shout out to my buddies in the Collective. I will never forget you guys and all the fun we had. And to everybody, I can't wait to see you in the Megacity!!!!!!!
