Due to recent events and not all are related to in game issues, I have decided that my time here within the community has come to an end. The safety, health, happiness of my children have recently come under fire and they require my full attention and energy. Also they're smiles and laughter have become the most rewarding thing in my life so I am shifting focus to them (as well as my own social life) especially as the weather grows warmer. My job causes me enough stress with having people's lives in my hands all the while being forced to provide "quality care" when we are expected to take ridiculous concessions that in the end provides the employees the least benefit and possibly putting the patients at greater risks. Really, how DOES a hospital go bankrupt?????

This is by no means me saying that I am quitting UO, I pay my money to EA, not to any community I may or may not belong to. The city and houses within it are the result of my hard work, so they will not be put up for sale until the day comes when I am ready to leave UO behind. I simply will play how I see fit and rediscover why I have endured this game for the past seven years. I will play to simply ENJOY myself.

All my guild members have been given the option to stay or go, all I ask is that they are welcomed to whatever guild they may join without any residual effects you may or may not have of me. I have exhausted myself in attempts to pleasing everyone, going as far as resorting to similar practices I used with my ex-husband in an effort to make him happy. In the end, it has caused me to lose much of the confidence I worked so hard to build within myself after I separated from him. I cannot please everyone and still keep my sanity.

My last request to the community would have been to remove all my lore and such to the history, but unfortunately I cannot ask such since another character (which does not belong to me) will need to use it. So, my request is that Kal'iksix not be made out to look weak or cowardly. IC she held her head high and was arrogant. Any OOC matters that occurred was with ME not Kal'iksix and she need not be made out to be such.

I wish you all luck in your future endeavors within the game, but mostly I wish for all of you to step back ever so often to see what real life holds for you (especially those of your with children). There is a huge world of opportunity that is waiting to be explored and I can say I look forward to it and welcome it with open arms through the smiles and laughter and hugs from my children.

In closing, if any of you wish to be rebellious and search from some non-ARPC sanctioned rp (PLEASE that is to be take lightly AND as a joke), feel free to find me in game (not like you all don't know where my little city is). I will remain in touch with the select few whom have gained my trust and respect. I will be around when I can, enjoying my own rp, and even relaxing into some dungeon crawls or game related quests. I will not turn anyone away who wishes to RP.

I wish you all a happy life filled with many many blessings. God Bless You all.
Sincerely,
Tina
Kal'iksix's player.

Well, you have to do what you have to do. I hope you are able to find some measure of peace, lady. I will be around if you wanna RP or something some time. Enjoy the great big IRL and try not to let little things get to you. *hugs*

RL is always demanding - it takes a big person to look outward and realize when they are lacking in other areas of their life. As a father, I totally understand your position - mine are 3 and 4 and they are more fun now then ever Smile

I hope you can balance all your individual and socials and find a level of peace that you are comfortable with.

As a roleplayer, I welcome you to participate in any event I may bring to the table or feel free to invite me to some of yours.

Best Wishes

Always do what feels right. I'll hit you up for some RP, gives me a safety net knowing you wont claim my lands since your out of the community. Should make for more relaxed RP. Smile

My congratulations to you for having made a very wise and extremely difficult decision. And, get to work on that confidence. You have survived divorce, which tends to turn even the most confident individuals into shaking, quivering mounds of self doubt. You have managed to accomplish so much, you will look back one of these days and be very proud of how far you have come. At least that was my experience.

When a single parent works there is little enough time to maintain a household, enjoy any sort of social life and provide the hugs, love and guidance that children so often need, and the need grows greater as the children start to mature. The period immediately before and after a divorce are so critical, because the kids tend to feel somewhat abandoned and for a period of time nothing seems to be in balance. The decisions you make now and how you relate to them will shape their lives more than you can imagine. I know, been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it.

And no, your character cannot be wiped from the history of the RP community nor should it! Best of luck and we will still see you around, the door is always open.
