Afetr what seems like an eternity, the last 2 years at have been fun, and I've really enjoyed alot of it. But given recent critism and events, regarding the recent loss of the relics, that regardless of the time of day, and however a shambolic a defense Midgard had the time, I should have been able to do better. Don't take these latest string of events as any catalist, Bashir was upset obviously and comment made by him had some validity. Yes, I organised that Relic against Hibernia for one reason, I was told I could never take a Relic from Hibernia during prime time.. I'm never one to turn down a challenge 
Tbh it was probably the smoothest Relic Raid i had been on, on any server EU or US.. considering the way Prydwen's server behaves the execution of the raid was near faultless.. For that i salute Midgard, in the end of the days my fellow Middies I don't make those Relic Raids happen.. you guys do. Belor and I are just a pair of kids chucking stones down a hill seeing how much a landslide we can make.. I assure neither of us could succeed at any of it without you lot.
Remi posted "remember it was "durgi raids" that got us the relics in the first place".. not strictly true it was Midgards raids.. cause however much my ego would love to lay claim too it, I didn't break all the doors on Excalibur and carry the relics home on my own.
But i digress already, the purpose of this post is simple. I'm going to retire as a Relic Raid commander once, I've helped to safely see the capture of a full set of relics, be they power or strength. This latest string of events, was basically the final straw.. For 2 years now, I've bleed white and blue blood for Midgard, and during that time I've been ridiculed, harrassed, betrayed.. yes betrayed, during a period of time about year ago maybe a little more now, some prominant members of Midgard society, most no longer playing we're purposely feeding albs via mirc information pertaining to relic raids I organised, resulting in the total failure of the raids. Something that made me almost completely quit the game. Between then and now everytiem I voice opinions on my beloved realms need to take care of her home frontier before that of Hibernia I've been meet with scorn and abuse.. I've always been a firm believer you don't deserve to have relics if you don't defend them properly.. I'm not talking rushing to a relic keep when a raid is in action. I'm talking about the little things, the patrolling of your home frontier once or twice an evening, supporting those who are trying to recapture your realms keeps. Working on doors to make the enemies life harder. All the dirty work basically. I have even organised a number of relatively fun roleplay events, like the Festivals to raise money from within the realm to try and fund relic repairs.. the Last one from Mularn Festival raised 28p, which cause we had 6 relics at the time vanished in a weekend of non stop raids and repairs.. the festival however cost me personally 100p to set up, as the realms crafters and members we're reluctant to donate freely. And still people whispered behind my back I spent the money raised at the festival on soem new weapons... yes Durgi's equipment is exceptional and exotic something I'm rather proud of. But if people stop to consider the number of PvE raids I have organised over the last two years, to think I would not have picked up a few trinkets on the way would be nieve.
However, 2 years of it has taken its toll. I'm lucky this time round this being about the thrid or forth time I've said I'm retiring from the raiding business to have someone liek Belorfyn around. One of the most able and best motivated people I have meet on Prydwen. Much like Roo with a passion for the big fight. I'm sure Belor will do a grand job, cause he already is. There was a time not too long ago, he was nervous about doing relic raids and the large scale stuff, but havign worked with him on ML's and the last couple of Relic Raids he's becoem a very competant and abel commander, something we've been in need of for a long time... cause I'm far from perfect.. yes i tend to get results but Belor has a better tolerence level than me. soemthing much needed for the roll the realm will ask of him.
I will as promised help too see the relics home to Midgard where they belong.. which set remains to be seen. After that Midgard I'm affraid I will take a back seat for good.. the demands fo the realm not just in abuse but in need have taken its toll.. I have little gaming time to myself anymore.. I neglected my guild to help run the first set of master level ffa raid.. something I ams til apologising to them for, I have neglected my darling Cerbie who so rarely gets to see her husband let alone be with him, cause he's always to busy helping organise some raid somewhere be it a master level raid, or climbing the walls of a keep somewhere.. and most of all I miss the quiet times, the times I woudl spend countless tranquil hours in sauvage, odins gate drifting around making a nuissance of myself. I miss the me time.
I will always be out there soemwhere, drifting about and you can bet every copper coin you own, when midgards frontier is in danger you'll see me climbing walls and stabbing things. But for my sake please once those relics are home don't ask of me to take charge.. theres many a able middy to do that. For any transgressions I may have made for being an Alb first.. I've more than paid my dues to my realm. Midgard will always be my home and my first love.. but as with all things finally they come to an end.
I'm not leaving the game, just downscaling the roll I play in it.
