for those few of you still around who know us, deegee (daddysgirl) and me (formerly jaliera, now halyera) are going to be departing rubi-ka some time in the near future.
(ooc)
im sorry that its come to this. but im afraid that our beloved rubi-ka is now but a thing of the past. at first we were unable to be on as much as we wanted to be. but as we saw the way the world was changing, first from the effects of notum wars and the increased emphasis on pvp, and then later from the devastating effects that shadowlands had on both gameplay and the kinds of people available to play with, it became more and more difficult to -bring- ourselves to log on, because what we wanted to experience simply wasnt possible anymore.
i -loved- being a part of da. i loved getting to know and be friends with all of the "old gang" from before thyme left as leader, and from the two or three leaders after thati actually enjoyed the drama and conflict negotiating between aktrez and da. i miss the swirling, socially dynamic place that rompas and babs used to be.
and i miss you most of all, donnie
but im afraid that now, especially with the way da has apparently "died", when i log on i feel only sadness and loss. i mourn for the world that we used to be such a part of. there was a time when it seemed everyone either knew me and deegee, or knew -of- us thru our associations with the social heavy-hitters of the time.
now, no one knows me, and i know few people if any. the few people i do know are hardly ever on when i am.
this is very painful for us. we have made many -very- good friends, close friends whom we will feel the loss of in our lives even tho we may not have talked to them much of late.
i just want you all to know that you, my old friends, have made an incredible difference in my life. when i first started ao, i was painfully shy and skittish, practically afraid of my own shadow. now, after having become friends with you all, i am now much more like the woman i once was, and who i hope to someday be again. and it was due to your support, your friendship, your trust, and your love that i have been able to grow and change and become stronger than i was.
we will always remember you. we will always love you.
*huuuuuug* be well. be happy. maybe we will meet again some time in another world. theres always hope for the future
