Farewell Friends December 9, 2008

The Life and Times of EverQuest Andy "killmaim" Sunderland

Editorial Excerpt:

"October 21st marked in the pages of video game history the 15th expansion pack released for the original EverQuest. I think my first response to hearing about a new expansion unleashed a year after the last one was an appropriate groan, followed by, “They’re still adding content for this game?"

Childhood's End Stew Shearer

Editorial Excerpt:

"And when it comes out, our eyes can never shift fast enough toward the future. When did this happen? When did I become incapable of playing a single game for months on end? When did a backlog become an accepted part of my life? When did we start determining the value of a game based on how many “A's” rewarded to it by some over-hyped reviewer? When did it all become so arbitrary?"


From the Editor's Desk

Well everyone, this is it. Starting next week I'll no longer be the RPGamer Editorials Currator. I will say that I'm sad to leave, I've loved working here and I will always look fondly on the first website foolish enough to hire me, but my schedule as of late has had little time for things like editorializing, and sometimes sacrfices must be made. It's okay though, Sam is taking over and just based off of her impressive enthusiasm I know she'll do well. But anywho, I'd like to proceed as I usually do. On the gaming front I'm doing well. I'm inching toward the completion Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. I have a nice system going. My PS3 is downstairs in the living room, so I play Valkyria Chronicles there, and when I'm in the bedroom I play my Wii and portables. Speaking of portables, did you all know that Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is already out in Europe? I ordered an import copy of the UK edition yesterday. It cost about double what it will when the US version is released, but honestly I think it will be worth it. But really, this is the last game I intend to buy for awhile.... I know, who am I kidding, right?

We have two eds this week as usual. First, I chose to rerun to Andy Sunderland's "The Life and Times of Everquest." I really enjoyed this piece when it came out two months ago, and as we didn't have any other submissions to shore up the column this week, I decided to bring it back for one more week. The second editorial comes from myself. I chose to go out in a rather depressing, nostalgiac way, which I suppose isn't the best way I could have finished my time here at RPGamer. Smiles and sunshine might have been a bit nicer, but oh well. On that happy note, it's been a blast everyone! Treat Sam well, and as always submit, submit, SUBMIT! A site this great deserves active users.
