I went out in the middle of one last Rikti Raid on Guardian. We took our time getting through pylons, and then with about 30 minutes left before the end, we all piled into the bowl one last time to send the Rikti packin'. It was the usual Raid madness and mayhem and it ended in perfect time. At 12:04 the shields went back up on the Mothership, and in the midst of the respawn process Guardian went offline. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end it for the Hamster, on whom I ran many a Raid in the last few years. It was a tossup when I first logged on as to whether I'd join the Raid, or try to get an ITF done one more time on Radek, my Brute, but a team of eight versus a zone full? It really was no contest, heh.

I spent the afternoon switching around some of my alts and taking a couple of screenshots with friends. I sent tells to Positron and War Witch, both responded quite quickly!
At the wind-down, I settled with the Malleable Mechanic and parked myself in an AE mission I used to stand in for his pawn shop ...and waited. The first Virtue crash worried me because my computer isn't the greatest, but I managed to wait out the queue and reload in.
The second major crash wasn't as lucky. I had just posted a thank you to the Golden Age Heroes and the mapserver message came up. I held my hand to the screen over Mechanic as I waited to get booted.
I was also wearing a dog tag with my character Vocalizer's name punched in and I had a Paragonian Knights custom coin set out on the desk.
Here's a bit of awesome I just found! What a great way to go out.

Pinnacle represent.Drunk server was best server. I'm gonna miss Pinnbadges more than the actual game, I think.
I liked both of those toons in passing. Never knew ya though. Good work.Thanks for the compliment! I've always tried to work hard on making concepts. I was attached to Mechanic in particular, but it's always difficult to call clear favorites out of my alts because they each have some kind of unique quirk.
