Ten years. It’s been TEN-FREAKING-YEARS since I first started as a writer here at MMORPG. In that time, I’ve gone to more events than I can count, written more articles than I ever expected, helped start and end RTS and FPSGuru, revamped GameSpace.com and took it over with the indomitable Suzie Ford, and most importantly - I’ve been able to make something happen that I never thought I could - I made my passion my career.

    Generally i just lurk around the forums, enjoying the back and forth between people in the know. I felt a bit compelled to login and express my thanks to you when i saw you are leaving. The positive and optimistic way you looked at games was always fun to read even if i didn't always agree with you. I wish you well in all future endeavors!

    No matter the topic, or if I agreed or disagreed, I was entertained.  Thanks, Bill.  Good luck with your future endeavors.

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    Good luck, Bill!

    You covered games more like a gamer and less like a critic. Fun factor always came first and I respected that.

    Best of luck Bill. I have enjoyed your articles and reviews with what is regularly an open-minded, positive outlook of the genre. You will be missed.

    This is really disappointing to here Bill but at the same time I'm glad to see you leave to invest more time & grow your business.  Adios Senor Murphy. 

    So we have new blood/fresh meat coming in ?

    Going at the same time? This is a double whammy but we will give your replacements the support they deserve. All the best where you are both heading off to.

    It won't be long before the first poster says, "that wouldn't have happened under Bill and Suzie". Big posting shoes to fill indeed!

    Wow.... I mean it was bound to happen at some point, but i'm still pretty shocked, even more so by the double whammy! What a journey Bill, on to the next one - may it be full of epic loot and favourable dice rolls! Take care and all the best. :)
