Goodbye, farewell.

To all whom this may concern,

After a long period of thought, of crackling my brains over the future, I’ve come to the decision to end my WoW-time. There are to many things IRL I have to tend to. To many things, I ought to take responsibility for. I can’t do this all, whilst playing WoW. I was tempted to renew my WoW-time with Arod joining a raid guild, and RPing on Argent Dawn, but in the end I’d only fool myself.

I had a great time with many of you, and wish to thank all of you as such. I’m not going to name individuals, for there would be to many.

This results in the following:
• The <Keepers of the Grove> will have to make do without Ilanowyr. Perhaps resulting in a /gdisband, if none wishes to take up this cup.
• Arod will leave the Council of Stormwind and not join <Disillusion> for raiding.

My sincere apologies to all whom I’ve caused inconvenience with this decision and let down some expectations.

Perhaps we speak again sometime over MSN.
Daan alias Arod\Ilanowyr

Aww, sorry to see you go. Obviously, never actually had a chance to get to know you all -that- well, but i've been really impressed by what you acheived with the Keepers so i hope somebody steps up to keep it going.

Good luck with the RL stuff and as ever, you are welcome to keep hanging around this forum to chat to us

Ahoy there Daan!

Didn't saw that one coming!
I know how you feel and I understand that you quit.. Real Life is so much more important and more fun then Azeroth.
I would like to thank you for the roleplaying moments we had, and for your contribution to Alliance RP. The Keepers of the Grove will disband if you ask me, but I think it will be re-made after the summer.

I know you are quitting forever, and you won't come back, but hop in here every now and then.
When is your game time expired?

Have fun and Goodbye!

I believe the proper reply would be "real life > WoW", however I can't seem to understand why this game turns out to be such a big deal for so many people. When talking about any other game, a solution could be to just "reduce your playtime" and log in every other day instead of every day. How would a reduced playtime actually affect you, your guild and your friends ingame? From my experience, days without playing a game more often results in other trivial activities like watching a movie, playing tabletop with a friend or reading a book. It's often the same about of spare time being used for other means instead of playing the game which you obviously love. If you have important personal matters to attend to (like a relationship drama), then you would be just prioritizing other activities for the time it takes to fix the issue. I'm sure we'll see you in game soon enough.

Well Daan,

It's of course a good luck in the Real World.. I'd say, don't drink too much mead. Starting at 10 in the morning might be too early
Just stay in touch as these forums are always open.

Bye Ilanowy, you was truly a strong figure in Alliance RP in my opinion, but I wont repeat anything above said except you should hang around these forums like me and support your guild that way because KotG would be (again my personal opinion) now (a real) hit for Alliance role play.

See ye on the other side!

Sad news.. Really crap to see you go Daan.
ah, maybe we'll meet each other again, drink a bottle of mead.
Take care in the Real World.

The thing is, Manovan, that unlike other computer games, which you can play any moment you feel like, you have to subscribe to this one. Reducing your gametime means that you still have to subscribe, and pay the same amount of money for less gaming. I think that's why so many people decide to actually quit the game instead of just playing less.

To Ilanowyr, I can only say that although I didn't (and couldn't) know you at all, but I only heard good things of the Keepers of the Grove. Good luck with whatever you are doing!

Good luck irl mate

Don't let those noobs talk you off the mead, hehe

Cya mate. You were great to have around.
