This is a step I never thought I would take, and I always said I'd be around until the servers went down but I failed to understand the fact that, as in all relationships good and bad, the involved parties will inevitably change. The last few times I have logged in have made it clear to me that Anarchy Online is no longer the game I fell in love with, and the community that I also fell in love with has mostly gone. My frustration has left me unable to be the kind of player I want to be when I log in, and for that reason I have cancelled my paid accounts and uninstalled.
I can safely say that Anarchy Online has been the most fun I have ever had in an MMO, and the GridStream Productions broadcasts, live shows and staff and dancers are what defined it; but more importantly, when I discovered GridStream I fell back in love with music after far too long without it.
Tarryk, I didn't get the chance to tell you this at the Hallowe'en party, but I've always been proud to say that GridStream is the reason I never made 220.
I'm sure that once the final curtain comes down, Anarchy Online will be one of the best experiences I ever had in my life. This was an amazing game, with amazing people who made up an amazing community, and I don't know if anything that was this great will ever find its way into my life again. I want to thank you all for making it what it was for me.
