Wow, it's been a while since I logged into AK, and with that I am announcing to anyone who cares to know that I am quitting FFXI for my first time ^_^ I'm not gonna say I'm not coming back cuz we all know everyone comes back eventually.
Anywho, I'd just like to say that in the 3 years I spent on this game, and after reading about/through the other servers' forums, I am happy that I was able to spend those years on Ragnarok. Despite the downsides that appear more out of control on other servers, this one has some great players and a better economy to work with. When I can't keep my addiction for this game down anymore I will definetly be coming back to Ragnarok.
On a more specific note, I'd like to give kudos and thanks to all of the people I have met along the way, but above everyone else, the Beastmasters I was able to hang out with. Muchos gracias to Lilfurbal for giving my tips and hints in the trade when I first started BST, and for getting me into SoloMateria (for the short period it was still around when I got it).
Gonnagal and Ekin, I know you guys won't be reading this but thanks to you two for being the first BST to duo/trio with me throughout Yhoator and well into Crawlers. To Pandaemonium for giving me my second, and longest lasting BST pearl when I needed a change of communities and to all the BST that were in that shell and stayed with us into my days as Shellholder for SoloMateriaX.

... anyone and everyone from the following linkshells: SoloMateria, Elysium, BSTElysium, Triplehelix, Claimed, SoloMateriaX, the Dynamis shell I was in for a short period of time, and Twistedspyders' linkshell.
Also, first and foremost mention goes to my first linkshell ever, Meatwall, with any luck the members of it that **** me the hell right off accept that I am thanking the shell as a whole and don't start **** in this thread.
Now, to all the members of SoloMateriaX that, hopefully, don't harbour any ill-thoughts towards me (or ill-thought's that can't easily be forgiven) I won't be cutting my characters until we enter the new year. So to anyone of you from m my shell who will gladly accept any donations of my items/gear/gil, I will be logging back in for a few final times in the next while and I will try to get back in touch with everyone. I know all of you, by now, have probably surpassed my equipment level and don't need anymore items cluttering your inventories, but if by chance you don't yet have a Tatami or Hauberk (or better), now is the time to harass me for them ^_^
Sorry for the long drawn out post, but I wanted to cover all my bases so no one that know's me gets left out. If by chance I did forget anyone, please accept my most sincerest of apologies for not remembering you and here's to hoping that you all keep having fun in whatever it is you do in FFXI or real life.
Fare yee well Ragnarok, Mav has left the server, but oneday (obviously) I will be back to take up my sheepskin BST gear and annoy the hell out of the lot of you one more time.
