Well, it's not easy to call it quits, for anyone who has raided seriously, so I will take the time here to say thank you to each and every person who has stuck it out with ol' mate Troupster for so long, through the good, and the bad times.

Before I go on, I just want to give one last thank you and shout out for earning server first Glory of the Icecrown Raider 25, it was both difficult and fun at the same time, and something I will never forget.

It isn't easy being a guild master, so I can only imagine what it's like for you guys to have to deal with my eccentricities. (Believe me I know I have them.)

Hopefully you guys have all learned something from this (besides not to raid with a crazy American), because I know I have. I'll remind you guys of some of them;

Australian internet sucks. It sucks big time. It has been one of the biggest nightmares in the past year and a half of raiding, one that I won't miss. But seriously, I have learned that it is awesome playing with people that are on the same level as yourself. There is nothing like coming to a raid, and having full confidence in all 24 other people, not carrying people, just killing bosses.

I will miss this group of people, and the raids that we have come to make each and every week, the teamwork, the frustration, the preparation, and the competition (Too Slow Kaos?) Unfortunately, it's just time for me to move on, and work on new ways of improving myself =]

You have all been an inspiration to me, and I hope that you guys can appreciate the effort that I gave, as well as all of your fellow raiders have given to one another over the many months of raiding, because it's very hard to find a group like this.

In the coming months I will still be around, on vent and occasionally in game, but I am going to take the time from raiding to move forward with other things in my life. I will leave you with this screenshot, enjoy:

Thank God for BloodQueen Mod (This makes the fight manageable.).
Fuck Barthilas Lag.

Great work everyone in Serendipity, keep this up because we will have to show Arthas what's up..if this lag ever stops.
Fuck Barthilas Lag.

If you haven't found the hidden message in this message, I will spell it out for you:
Fuck Barthilas Lag.

I have asked nicely dozens of times, reported it as they ask, post on the forums as they ask, pay my $15/mo as they ask, and yet the game is still unplayable most of our raiding nights.

I hope that Blizzard handles this situation better very soon, because I can feel my love for killing dragons in WoW diminishing.

Grats again on one of the first kills even through crazy lag and a boss that was set to hardmode.

Video of the kill is below =] :
