Wizard Trokair fades away...

[WizardTrokair]

“I am old...I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed! Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something.” ~ Bilbo Baggins


It is time to take a much needed break.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in this Exploration Forum! I will try to continue reading the threads and respond where I can. I may be back someday (as goodbye is rarely forever)… but this is farewell for now. Thank you to all the explorers and fans that have supported me throughout the years. It has been an absolute pleasure learning the game mechanics with you all, and discovering exactly what hidden areas these maps have to offer!

So many good times. Reaching GM's Island with the Halloween broom. Blinking through walls, or walking right through them with the Darkmoon Tiger glitch. The Exploration Tutorial. Hundreds of Master of Exploration challenges and games. The short films...1,000 subs, Flight of the Wizard and Wizard's Trip. If I've named you in the credits of any of those films, know that you've touched me personally and I'll never forget that.

A new expansion has recently been announced. I may be hanging up my wizard's hat, but you need to carry that exploration torch! Tear open these new maps. See what new corners can be uncovered. There is always something to find.

Thank you.

Have fun in your new adventures!

I wish you the best of luck

Cuz you were and always will be. Farewell!

[[IAMS]]

You have been a big inspiration to a lot of us

[Confucius]

You have contributed as much as anyone to these forums and will always be remembered and respected as one of its great members. I hope for you a great future and wish you success in whatever you have planned .

[Nyarly]

You didn't name me in the credits of your movies, and I remember being one of the first to rep you when your nickname was still "Grue". You hate me
But I still love you, what you did, and what you helped others do.
Will never forget your e-name.
Farewell beloved wizard walking through walls.
I'll miss you.

[Eldhenn]

We will miss you, Trokair.

[Zulch]

This is a sad day, wish you the best of luck.

I hope some day your path will lead you back to the exploration! Thanks for everything!

[Hazzbazzy]

Well, that's that then; we'll miss you!

(Nobody quits WoW, so I'm giving you 6 weeks tops)

I'm seriously ****ing sad about this.

The Wizard's videos really got me into exploration and the "other side" of wow. I'd have never started my own channel otherwise.
I still can't figure out half the tricks he uses to get into forbidden areas.

More generally, Trokair's relentlessly positive can-do approach is really inspirational, a good model for doing pretty much anything
successfully.

Really hope you change your mind.

Have fun with everything. I know you'll come back just like I will at some point

[WizardTrokair]

You didn't name me in the credits of your movies...

Ha! Got me.
As I wrote that post last night, I kept trying to come up with a list of people to thank. Every time I started I was afraid of leaving someone out.
In the end I figured that I must have already thanked everyone in the credits, so went with that statement.
As I submitted the post, I specifically thought of you, Nyarly, as well as TMan and a few others, unsure if I had actually mentioned you.
The credits were even a struggle, and in the end I ended up only thanking those that directly helped me with each video.

So... a heartfelt THANK YOU to all that helped me via your support and encouragement. I'd like to think that you know who you are. The OwnedCore site itself, the RIdPEF (I still have to do a post on their forum, haven't yet), and people like Nyarly, and even the people that I never spoke to directly. Your respect drove me forward, and for that I will always be grateful.

[Elektropop]

I still lurk here even though I never post and I've been sad to see so many good people go. I've always been very fond of this subforum as it has a completely different feel to it that the rest of the site lacks. The combination of just general knowledge and friendliness makes me come back for new posts even though I'm done with WoW.

I can't remember how I actually stumbled upon mmowned for the first time, but I know what made me stick around. I've always had an obsession for the things that aren't allowed or are normally out of reach, and while I've done my fair share of mistakes, I've had a lot of fun on the way. When I saw the crazy adventures you guys posted here, I was instantly hooked. You, amongst the other giants like Omo and Dellion, have truly inspired me.

Until next time

[kongost]

Good luck in your future endeavors. You've been an inspiration for me and many others here I'm sure!

[Nyarly]

Thanks but it was not needed
Thought about you tonight : Twitch 15'55 hope you'll like to do it in other games.
