I'm sure everyone in the guild hall has now heard that Py and I are leaving the game for an extended period of time. We're not certain when or if we'll be coming back, but we don't intend to disband the guild. I sent an email to the Council members that I had email for last week to start discussions on how everyone wanted to handle the transition. Py and I will be logging on Friday night to step down and turnover leadership to whoever has the time and dedication to continue.

I will say that the last 9+ years leading Ravenclaw in EQ1 and EQ2 has been both a trial and oftentimes a triumph. The time has just worn Py and I both to the point that we're burned out. Too many RL commitments between kids/school, my work travel, the house, etc... The website will be staying up to keep forums active for everyone who wants to keep tabs on other Ravens - regardless of what guild name or game they may be playing, if they're playing at all.

Thank you, everyone, who has helped make the time Py and I have spent leading this guild rewarding, and especially all those who have bled, sweat, and cried with us.
