Travellers of the multiverse, fallen heroes, and loyal monsters,
THANK YOU for giving Neo the majestic, final send-off it deserved. These last 10 years have been some of the most memorable of my life, and despite some dark and extremely testing times, the memories I will take away from this system will hold a fond place in my heart forever.
I could honestly write a book on all of the experiences I’ve had both IC and OOC with Neo, but I feel keeping this post short and sweet is more favourable, reserving these tales to be reminisced about in person when our paths next cross in relaxed surroundings, with my many friends that have travelled the paths of Neothera along the way. Our stories will now fall into legend, and we will keep the smiles, tears and laughter we have shared along the way as a shining monument to the fantastic journey we have all shared.
I would like to thank EVERYONE who has attended Neo over the last 10 years for bringing our crazy dream to life, even those who have perhaps made things difficult for me and others at times, I can say that I’ve learned from these experiences, and have indeed grown wiser and stronger. I am certain that Neothera, and the people we met along the way have all made a huge impact upon each other’s lives, and have gained friends that will perhaps last a lifetime, even if we cannot see each other as often as we will like anymore.
From a simple spark of an idea, to 10 years of glorious adventure, I will admit I had no idea how much Neothera will have meant to some of you, and I am sincerely honoured to have worked with Jake, Lewis and my family to have made such an impact of your lives. I am grateful for this experience and for all of you for making it happen.
Right now, I think we’re all still processing the end, and that’s still the case for me too. But sadly, I know that for now at least, it really IS the end of Neothera. One of you told me that you are glad Neothera ended as it did, on a high with friends sharing tears of mixed emotions, and it did not implode due to OOC hostility, as many smaller systems often do. I too am glad it went this way. The way we all deserved it to go.
I will be working on the final Neo Vlog over the coming weeks and will post a link once it's ready to watch.
You are ALL amazing, and I am humbled to have been a part of your lives,
Tommy
