/em lays down her sword

[Sanebla Eaglestriker]

Well friends, it's been an AWESOME ride. Sanebla is going to retire from the game. It was a hard decision for me but I know I'm making the right decision.

My husband misses his wife and my daughter misses her mother. I haven't been there enough for them the past 2 1/2 years like I should have.

San has achieved all her EQ goals. I've reached 65, got my steed, and lastly, stepped into Vex Thal. The road that led me to these accomplishments are you....my friends (Magic Reign of Norrath, Unyielding Power, Walkers and lastly Appotus Dominus). I will never forget you guys and I will be keeping in touch as much as you will let me.

I will be lurking on the boards alot so I won't completely disappear. Also, my account is paid up until June 20th (thanks to Jarsace!) so I will pop in from time to time to say hi to you guys.

I have asked Shiloch to help me transfer San to someone if they're interested in the account. He will post something in the private section with my wishes.

I want to say a special semi-goodbye to the following:

Shiloch - from the first time I met you, until today. Your personality has always kept me smiling. We've shared laughter, pain, you name it together. I treasure our friendship.

Bonlainy - You, my dear, deceived me at the beginning (can we say mangina!) but you redeemed yourself. You were the first nice player I met in this game. I was very upset/scared when you first took me all the way from Freeport to LOIO. 2 long boatrides and then you dropped my off at the tower in LOIO. I was sooo scared! (I was only level 1.

Rychard - We struggled side by side together. We grew up together, went to the same guilds together. Hmmm, come to think of it, were you stalking me? lol. /hugs

Pedi - I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. Whether they were about Whiz (grin) or just to be able to vent. It was a nice outlet--for both of us.

Whizbang - /salute. You are the absolute best leader in this game...nuff said.

Hauen - Thanks for always being a good friend. I enjoyed our chats. I hope to visit you one day in Vegas

To my good friends:

Caniel, Kaelwolf, Yecna, Tylandi, Gryfndor, Nerple, T & T, Idane (huggles), Vampriss, Fieni (I love the French!), Ironpalm, Grap, Hunts.

I will miss you guys. If I missed anyone, I'm sorry. I can't believe how many friends I've made.

My e-mail is Sanebla@hotmail.com

See you in EQ2 maybe

lots of love

Mary

[Alermik]

/hug San, there's no better way to leave than to leave happy ">

[Hauen]

Sorry to see you go, but it's an inevitable part of EQ life I guess. Best of luck in RL, I look forward to meeting you in Vegas. ">

[BonlainyT]

I will miss you so very much San. Was an honor seeing you go from that scared little level 7 paladin to the BOMB you are today, like al mentor's you are happy to see your student out do you, and that you did. You are a true paladin and played a great one. Stay in touch though please, I really want to know how you are doing from time to time. I know we haven't talked much lately in game and I'm sorry for that, my fault completely. I hope you have a great time in that other world and I know your daughter and husband will enjoy you more than we ever could. HUG Love you and will miss you.

PS - You know my emails, use them please.

[Jaffod]

Congratz on achieving your EQ goals - good luck in RL

[Tylandi]

I know all too well how you feel San having done a very similar thing myself just recently "> . You are a great friend and i remember when we first met in Fv killing Drolvargs ) I think Bon introduced me to you. I will keep in touch have your E mail. GL hun and enjoy Real life. I hope we can meet again in EQ 2 )

[Shiloch Veneficus]

Ok, I've written a response to this and erased it about four times now.

San, you know I'll be there if you need me. "> You know how to reach me, don't be a stranger.

[Elyhim]

Sanebla
Goodby and Godspeed!!!
we'll miss you

[rick7475]

Well, you know it has to come sometime

We had great fun together, in various guilds. I can relate with the family and RL. I'm starting to feel the pinch. I haven't been on for a couple weeks because I need to support my wife as she struggles with her mom's aging and illness.

EQ was a great ride, still is for me for a while.

But if we all decide to eventually go to EQ2, keep checking back on the boards. We may all end up together in Walkers 2.1 (the 2.0 always has bugs )

Thanks for the fun, San, and keep checking back on the boards

I might take a shot at your account if it becomes free since I don't use Wali's anymore

[Pedi Dustyboots]

LOL, welcome to the retired club. "> You know where to reach me if you need to gossip/vent about whatever. And if you find yourself with too much free time, let me know and I'll tell ya how to fill it.

And don't see this as the end -- we may run into each other again in EQ2 or WoW! (You say you won't buy it now, but wait until it comes out and we'll see how far we get with our free 30 days. )

Maybe this time when your man walks around the house naked, it will really and truly mean that he's looking for something other than clean clothes since laundry won't be piling up anymore, heh!

Take it easy.

[Oga Grap]

San you'll be missed.
Have fun in RL and no better way to leave than with all your goals accomplished ">
