First the bad news.

Friday, August 5th will be unofficially my last day at SOE. I love the time I have spent at SOE, with EQ and with you guys here at EQMac. I wish I would have started helping out EQMac earlier. The community here is one I wish every game could have.

With that being said, future work and features on EQMac are up in the air for the time being. But don't lose hope. I'm giving the higher ups all the details and information they need to find another person who can help out when needed. I'll also still be in touch with people at SOE and this community as well.

So, how about some good news.

The free key page will go live either later this afternoon or tomorrow. Kyth will post the official link as soon as it goes live. Once it goes live, I need everyones help to have other sites update their links and contacts for playing EQMac. Primiarly so no more e-mails are sent to my work e-mail =). Once that is done, expect a decent number of new folks to jump into game. Greet them with open arms like you have with so many others.

And..a small side note.

If anyone here has any development experience with Mac and are extremely familiar with EQ and might be interested in helping whoever takes over EQMac, please send me an e-mail with your experiences. I'll be sure to gather this information so it can be passed along.

Good news is always rewarded.

Bad news is severely punished.

Good luck, and don't be a stranger ;).

I think you know that, but everyone here has been very appreciative of the time and energy you've put towards the server. You're quite the hero.

Thank you for working to set things in motion to try to get us involved in the future of EQMac -- things will continue, just might be a bit rocky at the start :).

And thank you also for keeping your contacts with Sony -- that will definitely help in getting things back on track.


Have a great time at the new job.

Hobart,

You were the best thing to happen to EQMac. We all owe you our gratitude for everything you did for us, and I'm certain we are all sad to hear that you are leaving.

I wish you the best of luck in whatever the future holds for you, and I do hope that you won't be a stranger. Stop in, see how we're doing, let us know what you're up to. Even better, get a Mac at home, and join us! :D

Hope you keep hanging out here and helping support the community.

Sad to see you depart however, you have been quite the crusader for EQMac.

Safe travels.

Hobart , thanks for all that you have done for us. I would dare say, you are the most important thing that happened to MacEQ. You have made a greater difference than anything or anybody else. Thank you and good hunting.
