An Open Letter (Not April Fools)

Dear Friends,

As some of you may know, I've been struggling with school and work for the past two years. I've been juggling LB and Exile along with my other commitments, and recently, my game play has been reduced drastically.

The end, however, is in sight.

In ten weeks, I will graduate with my second degree, an Associates in Interactive Media and Web Design to accompany my Bachelor of Arts in English.

In ten weeks, I will present my portfolio at a highly publicized portfolio show attracting over thirty big-name companies throughout the metro region. My goal? To create a fantastic portfolio so that I am picked up by a larger design firm so that I can up my pay and be able to afford FFXI, more web space, and some renovation on my condo.

In order to do this, however, I have decided that I need to spend the next ten weeks of my life almost entirely devoted to this goal.

Because of this, I will be removing myself from Exile during this time. I hope to return to doing Sky and other events once this is all over, but for now, I have to concentrate on my career and my real life goals, and cannot dedicate myself to any appointment-demanding activities in the game.

I may be around. God knows, I may need a little time to just quest, or farm, or fool around in the game to take my mind off of the stress, but I don't plan for it to be every day, or even every week. I hope to cut myself off from the game enough to be able to reach my goal of creating a portfolio worthy of a great job offer.

In addition, I am going to be cutting myself off from LostBoys. Thursday's event will be my last for awhile - a parting gift to them, to be able to spend some time with them. I'm closing applications and freezing the website, stopping events until June.

I love you all, and please know that this has nothing to do with my interest in Exile or drops or any of that. It has to do with my realization that I truly need to spend these next ten weeks working toward my goal, without distraction.

Thank you for your time and patience with me on this.

Keir

Well keir i didn't really get to know you too well, but I wish you luck in your pursuit of the goal you mentioned.  Also hope that you do indeed pop in from time to time just to take a break from rl stress.

Glad to hear that you would rather focus on RL goals than spend time in game Keir. Get yourself a good job :)
