A Hard Goodbye


Hello players! Today, I’m writing the hardest Design Notes (or really of anything) I’ve had to in my past nine years with AE. I’m writing to say goodbye. It is my last day as the Game Director for DragonFable and my last day at Artix Entertainment. I’ve received a new job offer where I’ll be working to help create game dev education and certification programs.

My time at AE has been amazing and I’ve been able to work with a huge group of intensely talented and creative individuals. The DF team and the players have always inspired me and, as I move forward on my career path and back into the ranks of player and superfan of DragonFable, I know that Tomix and Verlyrus, as the new co-leads, will continue on working together with Melissa4Bella, San Robin, Karika, GIngkage, Elryn, Eric, and all the AKs and players, and make even more incredible stories for everyone to play through! I will also, admittedly, be abusing my access to continue to bother Tomix and Verlyrus until they decide to bury the Stone Orb in the Willowshire Tower with Sir Valorus.... ;)

To everyone at Artix Entertainment, to all the DragonFable team members past and present, to all the players, thank you so much! You’ve all made my time here an experience to remember! <3

The team at the lab made me a poster AND cake! They rock!

Chewy905 -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:04:31)

Goodbye Geo, all of us players will miss you and the hard work you've done for this game and our community.

I'm praying so hard that dragonfable doesnt die the way mechquest and oversoul did, i've been playing for 8 years now and idk what i would do without this game...




docblade -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:13:30)

Nooo. I want to say something that make you stay but...i dont think there're the right words for it.
so....goodbye, little pebble

@Chewy Me too, pal. Me too...




Dwelling Dragonlord -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:14:27)

Good luck with thy new duties, geopetal.

May the divine be ever in the details.




Eric Greydawn -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:16:32)

Farewell, Lady of Stone. May all your work meet with unmitigated success.





Lord Noonien Soong -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:22:12)

Another bad announcement to greet today. I admit that saddens me greatly geo, and I hope you're happy where you land next [:(]




Battle Elf -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:22:45)

Thanks for your years of hard work Geo, good luck!




Arthur -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:22:53)

Unbelievable. The fact that geopetal is leaving and the the fact that the person who posted 2 posts above me is the person I never thought I'd see again in this lifetime.

I wish geo all the best with her new job and hope she rocks it.(Sorry) It is really sad though.[:(] Thank you for all the amazing stories.

@geo, will you drop by and keep posting in the DNS from time to time?




Occavatra -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:24:14)

Geo, I cannot say into words how thankful I am for your time on DragonFable. You've inspired me to get into writing and my passion for the game has driven me to help the community. I truly appreciate all the hard work you put into it almost every week and for that, I will always remember you just like my fellow players and team members. All I can say is you are an awesome role model and a creative spirit full of innovation and direction. Thank you for everything you have done for us and may your future endeavors be well.




LouisCyphere -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:24:20)

Goodbye Rockstar. Farewell and Goodluck.
It's sad to see you go.

I hope this isn't a sign that DF will be phased out [:(]




TheRuinedShadow -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:24:40)

Thanks for everything Geo!
Everything from the game releases to all of the rocky puns, Thanks!
I hope you well in all of your future endeavors.

If you refer to me, Yes, I am back and back to work. I've got a few things up my sleeve for you guys. Patience while the details are worked out.




Starflame13 -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:24:58)

Sad to see you leave, Geo, it's been great playing DF with your story and inspiration.

I wish you the best of luck on your new job and adventure. You've worked wonders with DF and with AE, so I'm absolutely sure you'll do amazing wherever you go from here. I hope that you have the time to stop by now and then! We don't want the stone orb getting too dusty :P

Thank you so much for your time spent with the game and with the community. We won't forget everything you've done for us. Thank you, Geo.




dragon_monster -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:28:47)

Bye the past, the present and the future of this game. I hope you will do great things in your new job.




DarkLore -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:32:48)

*Insert crying rock meme here* Good Luck Geo! But this is terrible! Now DF is about as Understaffed as AQ Classic! A certain poor Box Kitty has to code all by his lonesome now. First Nulgath, Ashendal, now you Geo?[:(]




GreenGuy23 -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:34:16)

Man this sucks. I disappear for a few months, and we lose Geo too? Man. I really hope the new job is lovely for you Geo, and I hope the next phase of your life outside AE is a good one. There's so few words for me to say right now. I wish I had more. I've loved your writing for years, and hope you never stop. Farewell, friend.




LouisCyphere -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:38:20)

can we request a house item/stone statue similar to the one in Falconreach?




The Odor -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:38:29)

I wish you the best in your new job and I really hope you know you have my life far better through your stories.




DarkLore -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:39:02)

Is it wrong I'm literally crying? I mean it seems so stupid to some, but we've lost a lot of good staff from just about every game![:(]




GreenGuy23 -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:43:06)

AYYY LouisCyphere is right! A statue made of stone for Geo in Falconreach would be awesome.




TheFarReach -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:46:35)

I wish you luck in your new job. May the rock puns be plentiful and free flowing wherever you go. And I agree, a statue would be nice.




solomi123 -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:48:39)

So many old faces here, would have been a joyous occasion if it weren't for geo's departure

I'll be honest, I've been a fan of geo's writing for the longest time I can remember and I will continue to regard her as the single greatest writer in all of AE and the one responsible for DF's reputation of being the best story in all AE games.

That said, thank you for all the things you've done for us and good luck on your next step in life.

@Arthur
Um, geo is a 'she'




D00MS -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:53:29)

*throws geo a rock HAMMER* it was fun you will be missed and good luck out there




Znakoma -> RE: Design Notes July 29: A Hard Goodbye (7/29/2016 15:55:07)

Thank you so much for all the fun moments Geopetal, and good luck on your new adventure!
