    What if the comma's are not in the wrong place. It is possible this could be grammatically correct?
    Can we replace for now with forever? Or not?

    I just logged on after being off a few days and want to log back off now. :( Hmmm, when I bought my lifetime membership they mentioned "special" things coming our way in the future. If I had known you leaving was one of those "specials" I would never have made my purchase. I am happy for you and am sure it was a difficult decision for you to make. Norrath will never be the same without you. Good luck in your new position. They are VERY lucky to have you. You really will be missed more than you could possibly know; for every one person saying that, there are 10 more not saying it. Thank You, God Bless you and may all your dreams come true. BTW FANTASTIC picture, you look beautiful!

    "I’m sure you want to know what this change means…Darkpaw Games will operate autonomously and focus on the EQ franchise, its community, and its future. I will be at the head of Darkpaw and Daybreak will be our publisher with its incredible support and operations teams we’ve come to know and love over the years."

    "My passion and love for EverQuest and EverQuest II is unending. Even though I am leaving Darkpaw Games as a producer for now, I will remain part of the community as a player."

    Something made Holly take this step now. It's often a mix of oppertunity and the current situation that makes one "move on".
    I want to continue to relive EQ2 and spend my time and money here. Just a while ago Holly sat in an interview hinting on a future for the franchize, and now she leaves.

    Can you sit down at Darkpaw and discuss what type of message you can give us to talk about the future for the franchize? I wish Holly the best, and she is not EQ2. But that move without explaining a future leave something out. And it doesnt feel good beeing a player atm. Im sure that everyone at Darkpaw are doing a great job, but how is the EQ2 franchize doing?

    Best regards, Kaegrim, Erandor, Lothramir

    At virtually any company/corporation of any size, the outgoing head will typically leave the message Holly left. It's not up to her to talk about the future because she will have nothing to do with it. It's up to the incoming lead to talk about where the company is at and what the future will hold as that will define his/her role in making that happen. That's the way it's always done and likely, always will be until the time when there's a completely different organizational structure introduced that makes that methodology untenable.

    I was just thinking about this same thing, so I started googling around to find some background information / interviews / etc on the new lead... I'll just leave it at that.
