My time here is coming to an End!

[cardinal]

Well, from another Sci-Fi series.

I've been here since the begining, how much I hate to leave, I can't stay behind this time.

It hurts to say this, and this time it is final for me.

I started a long time ago as a Droid Engineer, I loved it.
It was ME in a way, crafting, droids, soooo much joy I had.

I've tried and tried to do my best, to help the community.
I've tried to make things right, but alas one man can't change the way of the greed that rules here.

As I said, I started DE, I will END DE.
GU12 is the last GU update I know that will bring something to me and the reason for me playing. Time to move on, time to view the rest of the universe.

I've done it once before with some of my crafters, this time I will order ALL crafters, to lay down there tools and the end of this year at the latest. I've done what I set out to do, I'm tired over the bickering and fighting among our selfs to stay on.

As od 2009-12-31. ALL accounts except Cardinal is or will be cancled.
The City of Omega will be removed, all vendors will be removed.
ALL public buildings will close and become private.

I will remain as Cardinal, I will never again pick up the tools of crafting again, given time Cardinal will join all those that come before him in the space between galaxies, to see all those he miss.

I will be here, until then, I will help and do what I can until then.
After that, well. All things ends so does this.

I hope I will leave a legacy for people to remember and do the same.

To much has been lost, the community, economy, SoE, Dev's, the ways of SWG. Life will go on.

Then it comes I will move over to SW:TOR and try that.
No matter if I stay or not, I will cancel Cardinal sometime next year, this has to have an end, such an end it will be remembered

Well, this is the start to my final good bye, but hey I'm still here.

Can I have your stuff

[Clawde]

Yes, he can bequeath to you his green hair. Quite useful for St. Patrick's day parades.

Sorry to see you go, Card.

[Tarff]

we could do a big story teller server event, and go out with a bang, but look forward to seeing you lots before then.

[cardinal]

Well. I'm not gone yet am I

I'll be around, and tbh to all of us, to little is coming for crafters in the furture and for me to stick around is well, no point.

However I might let Cardinal hang on longer but as for the rest, the end of this year is the end for them.

All that would happen I stop to craft, I've earned that right by now I hope.

SW:TOR is coming as we all know, and I will be there.

Tarff, we can do an Event to mark the close of Icarus and the retirement of my crafters, new people need to pick up where I will leave but until then I will be here crafting with GU12 and droids.

I'm a DE, and I've done my share for the community, time to really take that retirement word and use it I think, time to just wander around the galaxie and view the world a bit.

Until that day, I'll be here and harass you all

*yawn* Card, you say that EVERY year around summer time! Then you retire, you're gone for a bit, and BAM!! you're back lol. Just stay and aggravate everyone till end of games time.

You don't want Nelon taking your place as a Scrooge, do you??

Well, that's not likely to happen.
To little time left for SWG for him to become me.

No, I will stop this time, I've started to sell out my resources, that's a first, droped prices on all crafted goods, selling out the deco I have no use for, I will remove all the WS storage vendors by then end of this week.

No, this IS really the END for me as crafter, I will let the droids vendors remain a week or two, then they are gone too.
the only ones that will remain are the Icarus Storage ones and A Little of Everything vendor.

I've started to delete unwanted items too, just to make space.

I gave Ishoss all my good BM sub parts, the rest I will delete.

I will close up the 2 storage buildins read GH's outside the city.
sell all the junk loot ingame or just drop it off at the JD to free up space.

So, this is it, no more Icarus Empire, I've done what I came here to do, no more crafting, no more ads, no more bragging, no more Icarus tags on new goods, no more.......

I will be around sure, Icarus and it's crafters will not.
