Hey all,

To the surprise of probably nobody, I decided I should admit that I've all but checked out of Graal a while ago. It's been a couple years since I've been able to do anything meaningful for UN (With the small exception of the multiplayer "Neetris"/ Tetris game during Christmas 2010). My prolonged inactivity only serves to confuse those who think I'm still around to help with development and other issues. Thus, I'll be phasing out my presence over the immediate future.

As a few of you know, I've been working as a software engineer for Riot Games / League of Legends for over 8 months now. I was lucky to be given this opportunity right after finishing my education, and have been working on some incredible projects alongside incredible people (Not to mention with a concurrent playercount that's at least five orders of magnitude larger than UN's

. Mind = blown). I like to think that my time on Graal, while it had plenty of ups and downs, helped keep me meaningfully engaged in game development during my free time and aided me in demonstrating the high level of passion people look for in the industry. I'm grateful to have been able to do this and to have met a lot of cool people along the way. Unfortunately, the time that my new career demands means I can't keep this up any longer.

Thanks to everyone for helping make the journey so fun! Sorry for not being able to finish a lot of the awesome projects that I started. Also, sorry to those whom I might have blown up a little too much when I was more active

. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in keeping in touch!

TL;DR: Finished school, started my career, too busy, gotta go, thanks!

Cool, what's your name on the forums. I'd love to see your posts and just be like "Eh, oh, that guy played Graal!"

Thanks for all your hard work rage! You definitely were a great asset to UN's development during the years you had been active. I love league of legends so keep in touch! Take care.
