My Resignation

Greetings members of the Galactic Trade Commission,

There is no point is sugar coating this, so I am just going to be blunt. I am retiring from the GTC. I have been considering this for quite some time now, and especially after what has just happened, then is no more consideration. First and foremost, I am in my final year of schooling. Running a guild, no matter how quiet it has been lately, can take up a lot of your free time. Not to mention, following SW:TOR regularly, watching Youtube videos about it, posting, etc. also takes up a lot of time. That is time that I could spend better by studying for school or other activities. In addition, and this is not the main reason at all, but a number of my good friends have been getting interested in SW:TOR, and no doubt want me to play with them. Lastly, and this coincides with my previous reason, as you have all no doubt seen, SW:TOR pre-orders are now taking place. However, Australia will no be getting pre-orders, and apparently neither will we be able to play the game at launch.

Thus, I feel there is no real reason for me to be here any more. If I can't even play the game fromm launch day, there is no point in me being a leader of a guild here. I don't particularly want to be here on the forums when I'm not going to be able to experience the game at launch day, and then be far behind everyone else when BioWare and EA decide to release the game to the non-European and non-North American gaming community.

So, long story short, I will be leaving the GTC. I will remain for a few more days to ensure that everything is stable before I depart and to discuss what will happen once I am gone, but after that I am leaving, to concentrate on other things, and to occasionally check the SW:TOR website to see when Oceania will be able to enjoy the game.

I thank you all for a great two and a third years being here. Adios.

Well i wish you luck in your future endeavors Typho. I hate to see you go as does the guild, i wish I had been able to be here for past 2 years and seen your excellent leadership skills. You will be missed, always welcome here and take care.

It's been a pleasure getting to know and working with you these past 2 years Typho. I'm sorry to have you leave and you will certainly be missed.

Sorry to hear you're leaving even though I'm leaving to.

Do keep in touch with me over at the official Forums. My name there is "dierbhle" and hopefully I can give you a nudge in game whenever You Australians get to play.

Oh man this is not happening. Its sad to see the only other Aussie in this guild leave, hope to seeyou online sometime mate, hell maybe we'll even be able to catch up in real life, if I visit Melbourne.
Good luck with your study.
