A Fond Farewell

Well, I cannot recall how many times I have read threads like this. But, this ones mine. As soon as I can transfer my small tower and items to a friend, I am leaving UO. It comes down to time. I spend too much of it in the game. It's time to go.

I want to thank, Southern, Dor, Father Ganja, Zayin, Owen Lighthood, spinkicr, Akanah, Lady Starr, Pacrat, Anchor Wayfare, Dermott, Trunks, Xydrol, Yoda, Tybalt Capulet and all the others who have made this forum a fun part of my life. I know I am forgetting a bunch of you that I really enjoyed talking to. And I would be remiss if I didn't say NEPETHE you are a friggen cutie. Im serious. *cough* Sorry... lol.

You guys have pissed me off many times, you have made me laugh a ton, and made me feel sad. Thats a unique experience. People from all over the world in different lives and situations, all gathered to talk about one game.

And the game.... You know, I could rail and rant, but I always felt it was hypecritical to rail on a game you continue to play. Don't complain about the shock you get if you continue to hit the button, ya know? Its introduced me to some amazing people. Jade and Dcats. I love you guys. I have never met ya in real life. 3000 miles away we are, but always like we are next door.

Finally, a confession. I am Hida O-Ushi. And, I am Breadmaster. I guess in my final days I was looking for something more from UO. I couldn't just let them disappear without an explanation. I made a couple extra sign-ons for Stratics and was able to post in complete anonimity. And that brings me to spelling. I never did improve that here did I? lol

In the end, I left something behind. I touched different people at different times as they touched me. Maybe it was a free Katana, or a Heal or really anything. But I played. And I tried to be as good to people as I could. Thank you all for making my life a little better.

Regards,
Priam

seriously, your post made me warm at hart and wet my eyes, no kidding here.
mind if I save it to my webpage? you touched the very root of UO, the reasons that keeps me coming back, again and again, and I think, in the end, the reasons we all play even though the skills get nerfed and all the other things we complain about.
I wish you good luck in whatever you may do, or were ever you may go, you will certinly be missed by many in our community (I dear to say so even not knowing you in RL or ingame, just from reading your posts...)
Come by and visit us from time to time, the U.hall doors will be wide open :)

Oh Priam I can understand where you are at.. and it tears me up to see you go. We never really had much time to hang out and get to know one another much. Be safe in whatever you do and don't work to hard. And remember I am just an ICQ away should you need to chat or anything at all.

You WERE one of the more level headed posters around here, and you'll be missed. Take care and may fortune smile upon you in the future.

Glad to see it's on a "I need more time out of game" note and not on a "UO sucks ass" note.

Good luck in your journeys.

Althought I do not post here often, I am here a lot reading posts and learning new things about UO. Priam, I am going to miss your posts and your rants. Best of luck in doing whatever you will be doing in your spare time. I join the rest in saying how much you will be missed.

UO and UHall will somehow be just a bit changed without you here.

So who is the picture of? Is that you? Or a movie actress or something? I admit it's a nice picture, but I kinda wondered why you chose it. Well, anyways... I'm female. And I live on two shards in this name, and have five other female characters on those two shards, plus a total goof-up guy on Great Lakes who will prolly become an exploratory ghosty, going places the rest dare not tred - until/when/if they GM or master some magery? He's my first and last guy, and first macer (healer/resister). (But I love *swords*!, she cries again, and again.)

I just realized. Suddenly all kinds of players are leaving. Did I forget to brush my teeth or something? Bummers! :) -W.

[MysticAngel]

Well, that was quite farewell. Really got to me, and I barely knew ya. From what conversation we did had, It was well spent. I will miss ya.

She's a Taiwanese model named Mae Yu Tsai. I chose her pictures because she matched exactly what I had in mind when I created the character.

Take care Priam. When a game starts to take to much time away from your life, I agree it is time to walk away.

Safe Journey Priam :) You've been a great addition here and will be missed by one and all, including me. Now get out there and enjoy the real world!

Who luvs ya baby?

I just stopped by to quickly check the board before I headed off to bed. Now I’ve very glad I did. I would feel very bad indeed had you left and I hadn’t had the chance to say ‘fare thee well.’ I’ve been posting on U.Hall for well over a year now, and though I yet to meet anybody in person, many of the regulars have come to feel like an extended family. Of late, many members of that family have moved on, as you are now doing. And though your leaving saddens me, I’m sure you’ve made the right choice. Though it’s often a difficult choice to make, reality should always take precedence over fantasy.

I wish you all the best, wherever your road should lead you. And before you leave, I would like to say thank you for having touched my life and made it better. And though his existence was brief, I will truly miss the Breadmaster. His posts never failed to make me laugh, and no higher praise can be paid to anyone.

Be safe and know you’ll be remembered.

I am sorry I missed this thread when you posted it. :-/

*smiles* If I can ever get the data extracted from my fried harddrive, I'd like to edit a couple of the Storytelling sessions and post your contributions here. (if that's alright with you) Your presence on those nights was special indeed, and I think that is what I shall remember the most about you. We did have a great time, aye? *grins*

Aside from that, please keep in touch. UO or no, we'll always be happy to hear from you!

P.S. Hope to see you at the Ren Faire. :-)

re, breadmaster. What few posts I saw of his (hers?) they were very amusing. As for Priam, I apparently arrived after he did much posting, so I am not familiar with him, other than, the very first day I was here, lurking, about a month ago (went away after that) Priam had a link in one of his posts about some humorous site. I went there, and suddenly was thrown into my ami-bios screen! Scary indeed. Never happened before. And made me wonder if that meant a worm or something had uploaded? That's why I remember the name Priam, because it was kind of a weird occurence. -- Anyhow, good luck in the rl, Priam. Whoever you are. -W.

Goodbye, Priam... or should I say hello? It looks like I'm joining you in the long hike back to the Real World.

I hear they have sunshine there...
