I just completed the final mission and am officially a Vanguard.

I just wanted to thank everyone there at OOO for the effort put forth on the T3 missions, so much was added to those ordinary clockworks levels. They felt completely different, they had meaning.

The Vanguard Ceremony in the Hall of Heroes by itself was worth the journey(no spoilers!), I took it as a personal thank you for supporting this wonderful game for this past year, especially that subtly empty spot on the right hand side where each players' knight would presumably stand.

I joined just after the Rose Regalia update after deciding to give this "free MMO" thing a shot after clicking an advertisement on youtube. Needless to say, I fell in love immediately. The charm, the artwork, the playstyle!

With the recent uprising on the forums with disagreement and hatred for your decisions throughout development, this is a long time coming,

Thank you, OOO.

Thank you for showing an MMO can be so much more than something like WoW.

Thank you for allowing me to introduce this game to those close to me.

Thank you for solving that question all of us have wondered since release.*

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this games' evolution for so long, I haven't felt a part of a game community like this since I bought Minecraft when it was in Alpha.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

(I'll be keeping the extra Vanguard crest, though, it looks nice on my Grey Feather set!)
