Hello to everyone from up here in the peanut gallery!
12+ years is a long time to be part of any community, and i want to indulge in a selfish General Discussion post of my very own, with no practical value to the advancement of EU mechanics or understanding. I hope you'll indulge me. Or not. This is not a "goodbye" thread.
What it is is a brain core dump, because i'm sorry to report that the ol' noggin had a bit of a growth spurt and tried to off me not long ago. Something like that, especially the reboot process, makes you re-evaluate your past and future pretty seriously. Mostly it made me appreciate the humans in my life, so here i am to thank the familiar names i still see around, sharing information, discussing events, protecting newbies... being interesting people. I've not met a single one of you in person (something i regret), but i still feel my life has been much more entertaining because of sharing the social space of the game and community that make up EU.
I plan on being around EU for a long time (i mean, what am i going to do, sell my meager, carefully-tracked skills? hahaha), occasionally throwing peanuts from up here, but i wanted that said.
Good luck be well
