The Last Days

One the dawn of the Calamity, myself and many others defended Ul'dah from the voidsent, stood vigilant on our Goobbue at the gates and finally walked steadfastly into Mor Dhona to await the fall of Dalamud. During these last few days we were haunted by the sound of "answers" playing faintly in the background and sitting in Limsa Lominsa today listening to the same feint sounds from the sky it brought back many wonderful memories of those final few days and I want to thank SE for bringing back those moments. And to everyone that was there with me, thanks for sharing some truly wonderful gaming. Those final few days were some of the best I have ever experienced in an mmo.

To Yoshi and the devs, amid all the trolling and flaming and bs that is so prevalent on these forums I want to say you have done an amazing job in such a short time. There were bumps in the road, but that is to be expected and you have many supporters amid the screeching.

And to the players of v1, those final days will be in my memories until my final days. Thanks for being there, showing good sportsmanship and helping to make A Realm Reborn what it is today.

I think Warhammer 40k described the experience best.

"Listen but closely Brothers, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our Chapter itself is dying, even as I am now dying, and our foes shall gather to destroy us. Then my children, I shall listen for your call in whatever realm of death holds me, and come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Wolftime."
