Showdown at the Apollo' - Epilogue: The Curtains Fall.Follow

My Dear Bismarckians friends, pals, and compatriots:

Yes, I borrowed Phyree's trademarked subject! And I will do it again, so sue me! :)

The purpose of this thread is to bid you all my final farewell. Yes, this bald-headed, blue-tatooed, clothcrafting, ninja-subbing White Mage is finally retiring from Vana'Diel, after a near-perfect 3 year run.

I must admit, I suffer from severe ADD and, for a game to keep my attention for as long as this one did, it must be a pretty darned good and challenging one.

Not only it is a good game, I was incredibly lucky to end up on a server where the great majority of the population is incredibly friendly and helpful. I thank you all for that. Now, the economy... that's a whole different story! But I digress.

Unfortunately, as it seems to happen to all of us (even though we never want to admit it), everything runs its course. It seems mine has. I find myself logging on to FFXI just to stare blankly at the screen for hours and hours, with no desire to quest, kill, level up or even craft.

I have, therefore, decided to cancel my membership, effective January 30th, 2006.

I am 0.2 points away from lv100 clothcraft. Don't ask me why, but I will be working on getting those 0.2 points before I leave the game on the 30th. I just thought it would be a very funny screenshot of "Your clothcraft level reaches 100", followed by one of the main FFXI screen asking "Are you sure you want to delete this account?" ;)

But until then, I wish you all great luck, good adventuring and prosperous gil-making.

So long, fellow Bismarckians. I will miss you all. Yes, all of you, even those I've never met. It's a White Mage thing.

Yours trully,

-Apollonious.

--Edit: excessive whining of my part, and because grammar is cool.

"A shadowy ninja figure emerges from...the shadows...and throws a dart into Apollo's neck, stunning him and effectively keeping him in Vana'diel forever."

Poetic license, sorry there is no leaving now.

/em cackles madly!

Thanks Bya, but look on the bright side! You will now be able to level your clothcraft ALL the way up and have no competition whatsoever when you monopolize the Noble's / Manteel market!

Phyree, my dear Phyree, you are one of a kind. I have no words to describe the amount of laughs you have enticed and the amount of fun we have had. I'm very proud to be (or have been) in the same shell as you.

And you, Buni... My good buddy Buni... Well, you can BITE me! :-P I hate it when Galkas have a point. lol

See you guys on the flipside! Stay warm and safe!

-Apollo.
