Hi all,
Some of you may know me, some of you may not. Regardless my nickname is Zenthor.
I'd just like to let everyone who probably doesn't know yet, that I'm resigning from my position of Senior Player Relations. At first I was reluctant to make this post, but it has come to my attention that, there could be a misunderstanding with the reason that I am leaving, and do not want to cause detriment to anybody. Especially after all the years I spent trying to get along with everyone. Therefore I will make my reason clear, and say my goodbyes.
As for my history. I joined the staff team back in what I recall being February 2009 (could be wrong). As part of the Australian/Asian Player Relations team. We were the smallest timezone of all Player Relations, but we were a close group. Worked hard and got the job done. Even when it was quiet, when all you United States players were asleep we kept watch, night watch is what it felt like, very quiet. The server was run a bit differently back then. However as the years passed and I started to get older. School, other activities and relationships started to take up more and more of my time. I ended up having to take a few months off, in 2011. So I could focus on my academics and personal life, needed those good grades.
However in typical Graal style, I somehow gravitated back to the game like a magnet as always seems to happen. I was luckily graciously welcomed back to the team, and it felt like I'd never left. A few months passed and I was moved up to Senior Player Relations, working with Reno and Vendhin. I worked together with them and the rest of the team, for a few years, and I loved it.
However, due to the busy personal life that I live at the moment. I have decided that I will sadly have to resign from my position. I wish I had more time to volunteer myself. However at this time of my life, I have other priorities that need to take precedence and unfortunately I do not have a regular schedule, everything is a bit hectic and as sad as I am to say this the server has become a second thought.
So I'd like to say thanks to SNK, Ser, the entire PRA/SPR team, all the PRs, all the developers, and especially all of you, the players. The ones that I knew personally and the ones that I didn't. I truly believe that everyone I interacted with has helped shape me in to the person that I am proud to say I am today even in my real life, and I'm glad to have shared this experience with you all.
So yes I am saying goodbye, but I'll still be around. If you see me online, you can still talk to me, send me a message even. Maybe one day I will return, as of right now, I have no plans.
Thanks for reading.
It's been a pleasure,
Zenthor
