Default Farewell, Surak!

Dear all,

Marco Antonio Alvarez, known by most of you as Surak, is leaving us.
10 years working together, and of course we feel sad for having to say goodbye to a friend that did so much and worked so hard on building this world for you guys.

On the other hand, we also feel happy for him, because we know he has a huge opportunity ahead.

Fortunately enough, this decision has been taken with enough time to redistribute his tasks and responsibilities. We don't expect big alterations in the game's maintenance and day to day development.

We wish the very best for him!

I'll just leave down below a letter that Surak wrote himself (don't forget to leave a comment saying goodbye ).

Quote:
Goodbye, Community!

On March 3rd I reached my 10th anniversary working in NGD Studios, all of them mostly dedicated to Regnum Online's development (now called Champions of Regnum).

It was a lot of time, endless working hours with blood, sweat and tears; whole nights trying to figure out why something wasn't working properly, trying to make this game what it is today. All of this just because we had the crazy idea of developing an MMORPG in our country without even stopping to think where we were getting ourselves into.

I actively got involved (some may say too much) with the community and I found a lot of friends in it. And probably some enemy too. People from Buenos Aires, from other provinces, and other countries as well. I even hosted some of them at my own house more than once. We went out, we had meet-ups at Parque Sarmiento (a huge park here in Buenos Aires), FIVE RegnumFests (!)... and even several travels to meet far-away players! I can't deny it was fun!

But, as some of you may have already heard, I'm retiring. It's time for a change. I'll just hang my red and yellow developer/admin armor to dedicate myself to other projects outside NGD (and outside Argentina).


Thanks to all of you, especially for being patient :P The game will go on, don't worry.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

- Surak

Well, sad news to the community..
Surak, although we never came in contact, I do appreciate all you did for the game and players. I am sure I'm not the only one, who's kinda unsettled by your departure. Nevertheless, good luck in your career and personal life

Game will go on, yes. I certainly hope so . So, there's the new programmer, if I'm right. Will there be any introduction? ^^

Regards

Surak, thanks for helping make this game what it is: addictive and fun. I wish you the best in the future whatever you decide to do, and can only hope we see you in the community later on to let us know how things are going.

On a more serious note, however, may I have your armor please?

Thanks.

Sad to see a dev leave, but that's life Fare thee well, Surak I wish you all the best in your future career and life. And I hope you'll find some time to check on CoR every now and then.

But don't worry ppl, Surak is immortalized in Piz's awesome comic

Life and CoR will go on and I, just like Kharbon, hope there will be an introduction of a new dev soon

A few parting words,

Not only have been major part of a truly amazing game but also you must have developed some thick skin during the many years of abuse we have dished out.

..........................We yell so loud, because we care that much !! ...............

This will do you well in your future endeavor as the leader of the free world XD
................your new title is "The Decider"

You'll be a great asset, wherever you go.
