As most of you know, I resigned from the staff team a couple of weeks ago. I'd been in a funk for the past month, even after taking a handful of week-long breaks to try to get my mind right. I was no longer able to bring to the table the qualities I've always prided myself on, so I felt that it was best that I leave the team. After quitting, I realized... that was the source of most of my enjoyment on Alora; without it, I really wasn't having enough fun to stick around. This isn't a knock against anyone or anything, it's a problem that I continually have – we're on my 3^rd (or 4^th?) farewell thread now.

 

Without being overly dramatic, I'm very happy to remember all the wonderful experiences I've had in the past two years on Alora. I initially wanted to @ a bunch of people in this post but as I thought about it more, there are just too many damn people that have had a positive impact on me; it'd take too long to list all of them.

 

I abhor ass-kissing, but I think almost every single member of the staff team that I've had to pleasure of working with has earned my respect with their work behind the scenes (except that rat fuck Fe China). Even though the current team is small, it's still as strong as ever. And although I've received help from everyone on the team, the following guys went above and beyond to guide me when I was struggling at various points on the ladder: @Mhk, @Paine, @To gain, @Immortal Fox, Kharyrll, Groot, Dante, king purple, @Fenrir (stop changing names), and most of all, @Mack.

 

Some might not like how I left the team, and that's alright. But I'm glad I finally applied back in November and was able to give back to the place that has given so much to me. I'm satisfied to see @Omicron and Chad pumping out QOL updates and reworks to existing content. I look forward to reading about them on the forums, and watching @Lowkey's entertaining stream. But other than that, I'm stepping away for good.

 

Take care of yourself, Alora.

No @Sassafras I hope everything is okay, I will miss you my friend. I hope you come by discord every now and than! :'(

I barely even know you and feel so incredibly terrible for you dude. I’ve been through a lot recently myself and can fully empathise with your reasoning for going. Life really gets us sometimes but I know you’ll bounce back. I’ve heard only good things about you buddy and know you’re a great guy. Farewell for now, but I hope this isn’t your last rodeo with Alora.

[Not Mhk]

Been amazing playing Alora with you and getting to know you man. I hope you still come back from time to time like most do but take care friend!

Edit:
Just saw the parenthesis LOL

[Mack]

A bummer to see you go. I'm glad I was able to talk you into joining the team and it was nice to see you grow and climb the ranks. And thank you for the time and effort you contributed to the server. 

 

I wish you the best and hope you enjoy your break. I'm sure we'll see you back on Alora. Everyone comes home eventually.

 

As for the sad soul in parentheses,

may he rot

[Draisaitl]

The parentheses was my favorite part tbh. As Mack said, may he rot.

Anyways, there will always be game drama no matter what but at the end of the day it’s all about the relationships you’ve built when it’s time to go. It’s sad to see you go but it was an honor getting to know you and working with you. You were a great staff member and you’re a great guy. I wish you nothing but the best wherever you end up next. No hard feelings from me, brother. Much love.

Farewell. Good luck in life I hope you bounce back from whatever life has thrown your way and you can some day come back and be better than ever.

[Fear7heduck]

@Sassafras you will be missed, ever since joining the staff team you were one of the main people to help me when needed and show me the way and im forever grateful for the time i was able to spend with you, hopefully well see you around but if not, take care and just know i got my infernal cape and you were able to witness it.

I'm going to miss you a lot, man. We've had some great times, and it was a pleasure working with you in the staff team. Cheers, and I hope you take care of yourself, too.

[Extremedanny]

Gonna miss checking in on your progress and the pet hunting you did. Youve always been a nice respected mature guy and stayed that way which doesnt happen much gl on whatever life gives you next and may we meet again.

I'm gonna miss the #1 Tbow dropper. You were an amazing person to have a chat and to raid with. I remember exactly from since day 1 when you taught me raids(back in the 2017s) to ruling a clan with each other to see you growing at the staff team. You were hands down one of the staff members I had fully faith on and I have never changed my mind about that.

 

Everyone needs a break sometimes, but like one has mentioned above they all come back eventually. So I'm pretty sure that this is not an official farewell.

 

I'm gonna wish you the best of what you do and what you are going to do and may we meet again in the future.

 

Ps; You're still a slut.

[Morgen]

Firstly, I will miss you very much but on the same note, you are always welcome in my DM's.

 

You checked up on me and was always positive even though you didn't have to you did, for that I am in your debt. You did an amazing job on the staff team and was gutted you resigned. I hope you return when you are fresh and ready. 

 

P.S You need to make it to 10 farewells that means you gotta come back one day
