June 11, 200719 yr Yep, you heard me right, I'm making this post for my offical retirement from RuneScape. As most of you know many months ago my hard drive decided to take a nose dive. Well to be honest I'm glad it happened. I was spending a LOT of time on my PC. When the hard drive died it "forced" me to go out and be more social with friends/family, and I've enjoyed it. I just returned from a 5 hour 300 mile trip to Kansas City, MO. for RockFest. It was a purely awesome experience and I didn't even think of RS or anything dealing with it. I've started dating a girl I work with and have been having friends over a lot more to hang out. Had one of my best friends, Heather, over last night until 4am. RuneScape has been a part of my life for nearly 5 years and it's time for me to move on. I've made a ton of friends over these years and I'm thankful for that. I wish them, and everyone else, nothing but the very best in their future indevours both in RuneScape and real life. Just a few I can name off the top of my head are, in no particular order; Oddfaery2 - Nathan, you're one hell of a gamer and one hell of a guy. I'm glad Priscilla met you in Al Kharid all that time ago. If not I wouldn't of met you and missed out on a great friendship. Keep being the awesome guy you are and I still don't know if I'm going to move out there when my lease is up. Haha Unbrokenxero - Yet another hell of a guy. Jason has had me laughing through the year or so I've known him. Granted it hasn't been a very long friendship I consider it a good one. For the love of God man, if you read this, put a shirt on when you get your picture taken. GEEZ! Cobalt99 & Lady Jean2 - Two of the nicest people I have ever met, period. I consider them family and I hope they do the same for me. If they're ever in my neck of the woods they will always have a home with me. Queenvalerie & Leesters - Lee you are by far one of my favorite people to go DKing with. You always make the trips fun and exciting. Plus it also gives me the chance to be mentioned in one of your famous stories. ;) Perhaps Odd, you and I should make one last run for old times sake when I have my CW event. We'll see. Valerie, you are a great woman and one hell of a 'Scaper. I'm glad I got the chance to meet/talk with you over my time on RS. Lee is a lucky guy to have found a woman like you. I know that there are a ton of other names that I've missed. Believe me, it's nothing against you I just can't think of anymore off hand. I haven't been on RS but maybe twice in the past 6 months. So forgive me for not remembering a lot of names. You all know who you are and if you're on my friends list believe me, you're there for a reason. Not just because you're a member of the TIF, but because I consider you my friend and that's not something I hand out too often. I will still pop in from time to time to say hello and such, so don't go taking me off that friends list too quick. ;) My current plan of action is to buy myself one more month of membership when I get my hard drive fixed/replaced and hold a big TIF Castle Wars event to make my retirement "offical". Although right now it's pretty much done with. So just keep that in mind and keep your eyes peeled for my event post. I'm not on my own computer right now obviously so I'll have to post my stats using RuneScript. If I can get my TON of RS pics off my broken hard drive I will go through them and post some of my pictures for memorie's sake. I won't have a bank picture for who knows how long so if you're wanting to see/rate that then, well, sorry charlie. -RuneScript- *** [ METALLICA56 ]: Overall 1,835 | Att 90 | Def 90 | Str 90 | HP 93 | Range 89 | Pray 80 | Magic 94 | Cooking 93 | Woodcut 79 | Fletch 95 | Fishing 77 | Firemaking 80 | Crafting 80 | Smithing 70 | Mining 67 | Herblore 77 | Agility 71 | Thieving 70 | Slayer 80 | Farming 70 | Runecraft 71 | Hunter 58 | Construction 71 -RuneScript- *** [ METALLICA56 ]: [overall] lvl: 1,835 | exp: 73,447,568 (25.6% of 99) | rank: 10,072 | Cmb: 114.25 Melee Remember, keep your eyes open in the coming months for my offical retirement Castle Wars event!

So until I get the stuff off my broken hard drive (if I get to) I'll share with you guys some of my pictures from my PB account. Keep in mind these pictures are from all throughout my "career" playing RuneScape. If you have any questions about a paticular picture, just ask. Enjoy!

I take them for times such as this, so I can share my memories with you guys and gals. ;) UPDATE: Met's final bank picture;

June 12, 200719 yr Bye, good luck with real life! :cry: "He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking on evil, he will dwell on the heights; his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks; his bread will be given him; his water will be sure." ~Isaiah 33:15-16 My BlogScape!
June 12, 200719 yr The only contact we have while I'm away at college and you're giving it up :shame: . It's a good thing though I agree, there is a whole world outside of the computer. I'll just bug you on myspace during college and of course I'll be at your house for most of the rest of the summer. Now I need to find someone else to compete with in skill total :wall: . Oh well, there are about 9000 people ahead of me. See you in a bit John when I come over to watch movies. Goodbye Metallica56!!! :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: It was wierd to see you sign your real name. I'm always buying snapdragon seeds, name your price.
June 12, 200719 yr I'll miss ya. :( You better pop in every now and then and say hello. Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651
June 12, 200719 yr Author Thanks for all the warm comments guys. I'm not going to leave TIF. I'll still pop my head in every now and then to say hi and check in on things. I never thought that there were so many people on these forums who respected me so much or thought of me as a good RSer. It's good to know that I've "touched" sort-of-speak so many lives, even if it's just on a virtual level. Remember, whenever I get my hard drive fixed/replaced I will be buying myself one more month of membership and will be holding a huge CW event for my retirement. So stay tuned. :) P.S. To Dudeonthenet's comment on the last post on the first page. Yeah I'll see you in a bit, as in as soon as I go back in the living room. Back to watching Ghost Rider (It pays to know people, Ghost Rider doesn't come out on DVD until tomorrow. Advanced copies rock. ;))
June 12, 200719 yr Thanks for everything Met, I look forward to the CW event for one last bit of fun. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.
June 12, 200719 yr Even though I don't know you, I feel happy that your real life is really beginning to take off. :) Best of luck to your future.
