Excellence. Excellence is something that I have always set as the standard for my life. The bar, that was to be met without exception, and surpassed.

Excellence is not my goal. It is the bare minimum.

Why do I bring this up? Because later this month, I will be working full time late hours, and going to college, and I have seen that excellence has no longer been my standard in college. That needs to change.

Next month, my account will expire, and unless I have restraint on my life, I will not be renewing my subscription. Added to that, I have almost no desire to play Warcraft when the expansion arrives, and money is very tight. I fear that this month will be the final hurrah for Tali the Pally.

There has been mention that my father may pay for my subscription and keep my account, but either way, it isn't going to be me playing, if that is done.

To the people I have known for years, Dagg, Mstar, West, Sol, Arc, and others I haven't named thanks for being there when I needed people to talk to, and it's been great getting to know you guys.

To others whom I've more recently met, I can't say that it hasn't been fun, but I need to set my priorities, and maybe grow up a bit, and work in real life with more do-diligence than what I did in the game.

I do hope that you are all successful in your endeavors, and that God blesses you all with fruitful lives, but I feel that I need to remove some distractions from my life, and focus on what is now most important.

It is with a heavy heart I write this, because you all have been such a large part of my life the last few years, but that is just another chapter in life coming to a close. If any of you want to get in touch with me, you can e-mail me at johnny_all_star@yahoo.com


-John aka. Tali the Sexy Pally

Tal, it's been great playing with you. I totally understand you. I see one more year in me of WoWing in expansion and then it will probably be it as well. Life is much bigger than WoW, and WoW is just one of chapters. I am glad I was able to pull you into Zombie before you decided to leave WoW - we all enjoyed having Tali the Pali in the guild. Life goes on. Good luck to you in all your endeavors! I will put your e-mail into my Outlook contacts (wait, I already have!:-).

Dag.

Aw man. Dis make me sad.

Go forth and do great things.

Even though I have only known you for a couple months, it has been a blast Tal. Not only have you been someone that I can talk to, but also a mentor for my paladin. I hope I can follow your footsteps and come anywhere close to taking care of Zombie as well as you have.

I wish you the best John. I pray for your success and happiness in life. May God be with you in all your endeavours and your life be fruitful. We will miss you.

Good Luck Tal, school is very important and very fun especially college. I know some of us have been there and done that and it is truly the time of your life so enjoy it. Drag

Good luck Tal. RL is always more important. Zombie won't be quite the same without you.

QQ tal My best wow buddy is now leaving me...(since kevin quit). Gezz I'v known you for what?...2years in November I think. Its be lots of fun, Right now I haven't decided what to do with WoW...wrath is depressing me yet right now I'm not at college yet so I have time for it, but anyways I'll have to email ya or we can vent. I'll miss ya bud my favorite pally.

Good luck Tal. It was nice playing with you. Working, playing and going to school is tough, I'm glad wow wasn't around when I was going to school. We did have xtrek in the sun lab though ;p haha and only a dozen web sites existed.

Anyway school goes by fast, enjoy it while it lasts.

Hey Tal, Wow wont seem the same without you here. Since our early days with the cows, Tali was always there when u needed him.
May you find your passion in life and be blessed enough to do that for a living.
Take care, and good luck!

Hey Tal,

Good move! Higher Education is always more important then WoW. I hope you find what you're looking for and grab onto it with both hands and don't let go!

May you find your smooth, red path.

Tal,

Thanks for everything man. Hope nothing but the best for you and your future endeavors. Try and keep your head up and your spirits high.

I think this thread just shows how much love u got.

Best Wishes,
Confident aka Franz

Good luck Tal; you are making the right decision (hell I would have been screwed if this was around back in my college days). You'll be busy, but be sure to squeeze some fun time in around work and school.

It sounds like you have a great outlook and I'm sure much personal and professional success awaits you.

May you bang many bitches and make many moneys
