With respect, this is nonsensical.nobodies left on the own accord... shame ... its downsizing for the game.. simples
loved petra... lots of advice and help.. and patience with me.. no doubt
[whatever]..sorry i see a shift... and i see it because numbers are getting lower.... prob less than 8-10,000 tops... and thats realy tops.. subs...over 27 shards ..... nothing to do with stratics but its based on people playing..... sorry thats my view not yoursWith respect, this is nonsensical.
If there's one word I'd use to describe Petra, aside from "old", it's "honest".
If Petra had been pushed out, she wouldn't have come in here and said that she'd left of her own accord, which she did.
As you say, you loved Petra.
The people who volunteered to work on UO Stratics under Petra's leadership felt similarly, and so her resignation has resulted in several people reconsidering volunteering for Stratics, because their primary motivation is no longer there.

[whatever]I'm backing up Cirno on this, also please remember that UO Stratics is not part of Broadsword. If they downsized the game it wouldn't effect Stratics Staff at all. Those who left will be very much missed, I promise you. Everyone of us views each other as our Stratics Family, not associates, not peers, but Family. With that said everyone that has decided to exit, has to my knowledge done so on their own for their own reasons. What those reasons are I cannot tell you, as I do not know.
UO did not pay for her services. Stratics is a forum that handles many games. There have been many staff members that no longer work or volunteer here. Just as posters come and go.[whatever]..sorry i see a shift... and i see it because numbers are getting lower.... prob less than 8-10,000 tops... and thats realy tops.. subs...over 27 shards ..... nothing to do with stratics but its based on people playing..... sorry thats my view not yours

Lol I hope you are friends with her, otherwise that was rude as ****.If there's one word I'd use to describe Petra, aside from "old"
Please make it Siege sometimes.Ok, to address the conspiracy theorists, did I jump or was I pushed? I jumped.
Well, hobbled. I'm getting old you know.
Yes, Riply, I'll be on Europa - or sometimes Drachs, or maybe Siege, but certainly in Sosaria somewhere.
Will I post? I don't know. How long do you think I can hold out before I live up to my 'special' post count title?
I told a friend or two, with all the new hosts and constant shifting around, Stratics has reminded me of some people I know, moving every few months cause they won't pay the rentI am devastated! Petra was the backbone of these forums. Not only does she know the game better than most, but she was always reasonable and thoughtful when dealing with the many ruffians in these parts.
I fear we have a case of, "a new manager arrives and wants to show he/she can make big changes." How many times have we had our favorite foods or products become, "new and improved" and they then forever suck. 7-up comes to mind, but I digress.
Petra, I look forward to seeing you in the game and it truly boggles my mind that you are leaving Stratics. Somebody needs to beg her back... she's the life force and one of the few reasons I still lurk here... (roar)
BTW, New Stratics, nice typo on the quicky Post Migration Technical Issues, "...we're experiences a few technical issues..." I also found the Hello Kitty presentation adding insult to injury for Taylor who is still shown on the facebook site holding his Hello Kitty coffee cup while going through the last data/server migration. (Enraged weeping ensues)

People love dramaoh dear, the conspiracy theorists are having a field day!
Stratics has been around for close to 17 years. I only drove the bus for 5 of them. There were others before me. You remember how sad everyone was when Crazy Joe left? There'll be others after me.
Volunteers can be replaced, that includes me.
UO is going no where - at least I hope not because that is where I'm spending my time now.
I'm almost positive that the rules aren't changing.Hopefully this means less locked threads.
Your 'Designated Driver' is handing the 'bus' over to someone else.
Farewell all, and best wishes for the future.
See you in Sosaria.
Theorists? Nah, just one...but I'm guessing they're a 9/11 Truther too...laoh dear, the conspiracy theorists are having a field day!
We are not dead, goblin...

Too bad for now you're stuck with us.. None of us are really "New" we've been around just not all of us have been on UHall.All of the staff that resigned recently had a long run and a good one at that. Over the years there have been dozens of mods, admins and reporters that have come and gone. Myself included. On the surface it seems there are no hard feelings and almost all of them have made it clear they're still going to be playing UO which means inevitably they'll be posting here right along side us.
On a brighter note. It will be nice to have a fresh batch of mods and admins that haven't issued me a warning yet.
Taking advantage of the RTB free time, the shame!!!!!!!!oh dear, the conspiracy theorists are having a field day!
