Good luck, Sanya. Your thoughts on MMOs and their communities have always helped me think about it in a different way, and your ability to type full columns weekly helped me to procrastinate somewhat productively.

I enjoyed hearing about the various little bits and pieces behind the scenes of MMO production, and the past, oh, twenty weeks plus? have surely had benefits from your stay here.

Cheers,

Sorry to see you go, your columns were this site's only claim to professional journalism.

Good luck.

Good luck with your new job!

You were one of the best writers on this site, and almost everything you gave us was well-thought, well-written, interesting, and informative. I am sure you will excel no matter where you go. It will be a shame not to be reading any more underbelly from you, however. Cheers.

Please support games that deliver a new and innovative experience.

Eve, Ryzom, Ultima Online, Fallen Earth, Asheron's Call, Darkfall, Wurm and, other similar games deliver immersive Worlds, not Maps with mini-games or killing with no story.

Even if you do not like the games themselves, support and appreciate the effort of developers to try something new.

I have to agree with many of the posters here. Your column is one of the reasons I visited the site so often. Really enjoy your wit and insight. Good Luck with the new community. I may have to check it out.

 Every time I see your caricature with its braids flung off to one side it would put a smile on my face...I knew I was about to read an intelligent, humorous, well written column. It will be sad not seeing that toon anymore. 

Good luck in your new job. Hopefully sometime in the not so distant future you can stop by again and let the community know how things are going. Until than, take care.

Like losing an old friend, after those many years with Mythic/DAOC, good luck on your future endeavours, and do try to get back into the mainstream games again one day.

I couldn't say anything new, just repeat the people above: I'll miss your column, and want to wish good luck for your new job.

I have followed you haphazardly since a certain 'post heard 'round the net'  appeared, care of Tweety, on some forums set up for my EQ1 server.... a post that hit home for me as an ex-Guide.  Thanks for the many, many posts here and elsewhere that kept me entertained and/or informed. Thanks for loving this community as much as you do. I know we'll see you around.

Best of luck Sanya, and enjoy your new job!

The Underbelly articles, to me, are probably the best reason to visit this site.  It's always easy as players and customers to complain; once we've seen the tough side of actually working on games, it's hard not to somewhat sympathize with folks on the other side.  Working in IT, I already did.  It's been nice to see regular people starting to think more about what it's like for the folks on the other side of their screens, though.

I feel sure there will be many other insightful MMO articles by Sanya Weathers in the future, and I look forward to reading them.

The end of your articles is a huge gigantic megabummer for me; they were easily the most interesting articles on this site!  This is a tremendous loss for mmorpg.com, but it sounds like a great opportunity for you.  Congratulations and good luck!

Hate to see you go, but am glad you found something that works for you.
I have really enjoyed your articles here, made me nostalgic of all those years of grab bags.

Good luck and best wishes in your endeavors.
