My adopted child, Granado Espada is already standing at coming to 5 years, I've seen its birth, growing up as a kid, and finally became an adult. Anyone remember the Zouk Parteh we held to celebrate the arrival of her way back in 2007? How time flies...
That aside...
It has been a fun-filled 5 years, I honestly enjoyed my years being your community manager, especially the initial year where I just became one. I had fun and laughter, be it in the game, during events or even on Facebook!
Many of you had been asking me what exactly do I have to do as your Community Manager, and many of you thought my only responsibility is to keep you guys entertained. In all honesty, keeping you guys entertained is not part of my JD, most of the time, I did it during my personal time - or rather, primarily, I am your voice to the management. I kept an eye in the community to know what feedback was being massively brought up and think of solutions to resolve it together with the team.
Other than being your voice to the management, there are many other things like events, partners' management, etc and etc to handle, as well as keeping the game operationally ready on a daily basis, these of course, are all team work, together with Uncle MeepokTah, Hrin, Kaioujin, Xanxus, if you still remember all of them :)
Over the years, I was stretched and had taken on more responsibilities where GE is not my only child, I had to make a choice - to finish up my main dish before taking my dessert or consume the dessert together with the main dish concurrently. I tried both, but the latter failed. Many of you might have felt that I went missing for the past few months, in fact, I was around, always around - I was just battling with time, I do not have the luxury of time to do replies on the forum anymore - with that being said, I still visit the forum occasionally hokays! Of course, overcoming all these made up many lessons in my life. It was all good. :) Leaving is parts and parcels in life, and I'm sure you guys will be in good hands.
If you guys have been with sGE long enough, you guys should have seen my growth from the early days where I am just your Game Master - that was when I have just started my first job after graduation. 5 years gone, and I'm this old. *frowns* =\
I'm never good at saying goodbyes, never, still am very bad at it. But since this will be the last time I will be writing here, I'm all out! Here comes all the mushy mushyyyyyyness.... :P
I really appreciate the kind of support you guys have given me for the past 5 years;
For those who loved me, thank you for supporting me all these years.
For those who hated me, thank you for providing me with your constructive feedback.
For those who don't know me, well, it's not too late! I'm your Community Manager, soon-to-be an ex that is! :)
And well... Goodbyes always end with: - Please give your fullest support (like how you have given me the past years) to the guys taking over me!
My last day of work is the end of this month, I'll still be hanging around in the game after my departure, so yeah, don't forget to say hello to me if you see me around! :)
Add me on Facebook if you have not already done so - http://www.facebook.com/C.M.Lorenza, as for both my in-game nick and Facebook account, I'll be reverting back to Lorenza, you guys can still contact me there afterwhich, but no longer as your Community Manager, so no moar GE stuffs alrighteys!
With that being said,
Adios! *sniff sniff*
