I'm having a hard time catching staff to get the town cryer message, but I'll keep trying.

That's strange, I know of two staff members who are on regularly. Especially from 3pm EST to 2am EST.

Leave the town crier message here or forum-mail it to me, and I will put it up as soon as I get home from work today.

Glad to hear this and sad to see you leave. By the sounds of things its just like many people are going through specially me. Just sad so many people are having problems.

[Melkor]

Thanks for your concern, but right now, things in real life are prety good. There are several reasons why it's time for me to go, but mainly, I just can't play this game forever, It takes a lot of time. I played for about two years around 1999,then took a long break, came back to UO about a year and a half ago, now it's time for another break. In another ten years, who knows I might be back. I really really enjoyed meeting all you guys, playing here was an amazing time. I'm sad to go, but at the same time it feels right.

For now, I'm looking forward to the great hunt. Some will be hunting for a hidden item, some will be trivia questions, and some will be a mix of both. I've recruited me good friend Cygnus to help run this. The more you know about UO and UOEX, the better you will be. But everyone will have a chance, there are a variety of challeneges. I will probably throw some star wars trivia as well.

Up to 18 1 mil checks now.

we call that uoburn. burned out from playing. sad to see you go but see you on another shard or here someday.

Just out of curiosity - what will happen to your GM food museum? Can +Coli keep it up after you're gone, or will you hard work housefall in a few months?

Too bad Im from the other side of the world and the event will be at 4 am for me. Would have loved to see the fun involved. Can you at least take some shots and post them after it's all over?

[Melkor]

Loki has control of the food, I'm sure he will keep it together, Loki has a lot of UO life still in him as leader of TDC.

Mostly the event will be searching for items and [c clues and trivia. But if any good screens present themselves, I'll be sure to grab and post it.

Yea timing is always an issue, but it is what it is.

[Melkor]

Well guys, its all over. What a fantastic 550+ days. A lot of you sent me pms during the event and i couldn't respond because i was trying to keep things going at a good pace. But I read them all on the portal, thank you. Just quick, there are a lot of reasons why I choose to leave, but all in all, it was just time to move on. This game takes a lot of time, too much time for me to play forever. Its been truly fantastic here, and you guys were all so nice, and I made many friends. You will be missed. Bye Guys

P.S. Forgot to send you a good bye Cygnus, sorry kinda left in a hurry after the event, You will be missed and your a good man. I used the Trinsic clue in the hunt, it went well. All the best to you and your Family.

I managed to get 4 screen shots. Here they are.
