This is mainly for the people who were in my guild, for those who have been in it before, and even from previous games where we might have met originally.

This is not a rant of any kind against others, I loved my time in this guild and simply want to say goodbye to everyone, even if they have already changed over to another guild over the years. I feel it’s best to focus on the positive moments, and times – instead of being negative, blaming the recent actions of others, or hashing up the timeline of events that has brought us, Vindicated, and our home to this point.

I feel with recent events, our guild has been on a tailspin and although we are able to find new members, rebuild, and refocus our goals- the moment we start feeling balanced again, and stable we find another person has decided to leave, or even disappear without word. I do not feel it is fair, nor will I – continue to recruit more members, just to see others leave for the hopes of greener pastures, and ultimately  that tailspin effect  which will seemingly continue to happen to our guild, and the foundation in which it all has stood for. It’s not fair for our members, our leadership, and anyone that is making provisions to leave their previous home, just to find themselves in a similar situation they were trying to escape from, by joining our guild.  For those who have stood by, and stayed loyal-and for those who have recently joined us – I also do not feel it’s fair for you to feel like you are stuck, because your very nature of self and being is to be loyal. I want those who have stayed, and have joined us recently to simply be happy, and to find a new home where they can continue to grow, reach their goals, and find that connection with one and another again.

With that said, I Myself, have decided it is best to retire myself of the duty of being the Founder, and Guild Leader of Vindicated, and therefor everything which is a part of it, including the guild’s name, as I feel it’s best to let Vindicated be remembered from the good times of past, instead of the actions that have ultimately resulted us to this.

I cannot really describe in words how much the different people have done for this guild, they are all part of it, (or were part of it) and are/were greatly appreciated. Some people that haven’t had the role of Guild Leader, may never understand the pure-work and time invested, to have Vindicated a place you could call home for so long-while sticking to the values and very foundation Vindicated was about. I have always felt joy in being the leader of this wonderful guild, and it is w/ a deepened heart that I have had to make this decision.

It really feels as if myself and all of you have ultimately created our own chapter in the world of Telera. Vindicated was one path that a lot of people have walked on and it feels great that we have made our own mark in the game. I hope that a lot of people have enjoyed their time in the guild over the past years and that they ultimately do find a place to call home, where they are happy with whatever goals, and desires they have for this enormous, dynamic, and amazing world in which we live, die, and play.. Telera.

To everyone who has come and gone throughout the years, I just wanted to say Thank you. As I have always said in the past, Vindicated was nothing without all of you! You all made a place, a mark, and an etching in the history, and chapter that was Vindicated.

I do wish the best to all of you, and if anyone feels like keeping in touch I have left our shoutbox/site open for us to continue to communicate while the guild is no longer there in game-to chat together.

Thank you again. Thanks for the good times! It is a period of my MMO History that I will never forget. You know how to get a hold of me, if you want to.

Respectfully,

Valorstrike -- Guild Founder & Leader of Vindicated
