My dearest friends, it has been an excellent few months. Working on this project has been
one of the highlights of my life. However, it is time that my story ends here.  To understand my decision, you must know a bit about my life. 8 years ago, I contracted an
unknown, incurable eye disease. Every day of my life is filled with physical pain to the
point that I cannot leave my home without being rendered unable to open my eyes. While there
are very very few things left that I can physically do on the computer, working on this
project was one of them. However, you must understand that due to the circumstances of my
life, I do suffer quite a bit from depression.  When Elysium was still small, there was far less to worry about. I spent most of my time
interacting with players and guilds, acting as an intermediary for the players and staff. After
all, this is what I enjoyed the most. It is how I met many of the players that I today call
my friends. However, as we merged, it became apparent I would have to take on a more serious
position within the core team and helping to steer the ship through the storm. This was not
my original intention with joining the project. I never had aspirations of doing more than
giving the players a positive environment where their voices could be heard. As many of you
know, our active population increased by over 40x, and no longer could I hear the
individuals. In fact, most of the communication I began to receive from the community at
this point was anger, insults, and hatred. I quickly began to realize that this was no
longer a position I was interested in holding. However, in the end, I continued on. I knew
it would be a hard journey to steer that ship into port, and I could not leave my teammates
to do so alone.  Ultimately though, I have not come out unscathed. The pressures to satisfy such a large
community, to perform my tasks, to cover every angle of this project as to not make a
mistake... all while the only reward I am given is a huge sacrifice of time, money, hatred,
ingratitude, and the multitude of daggers in the dark from every direction... it has taken
it's toll on me. Combined with the depression I have to fight due to my confinement, I find
myself dealing with more than I can bare. For that, I am sorry. I am sorry that I am not
able to continue on, and provide you with this service. For my weakness, I hope you all will
forgive me. I also hope you will take my words to heart. All that the Elysium Team does, they do for
you. There is no profit for them. You can treat them with respect, and they will do their
job with pride. You can harass their every move, and they will take every step forward with
a feeling of dread. The choice is yours whether or not they will enjoy the service they
provide for you. Despite the grim circumstances, I will always remember my time here with you all for as long
as I live. As I said, I have made many friends, both within the staff and amongst the
players. While I will no longer be using my reddit or forum accounts, I will maintain my discord
account (Suzerain#2804), so don't be a stranger. I plan on playing on one of the upcoming
TBC servers, so perhaps we will meet some time in the Outlands.  I consider my memories, my friends, and this goodbye to be my sole reward for the time I
have dedicated, and it is more than I deserve.  Farewell,
