Cathat's Farewell to UO

**Adam** · 27-11-2007, 11:28 AM

Cathat is leaving the UO team

This will be my last week as a member of the UO Dev Team.

At Dec 1st , I cast myself back into the spinning time vortex of game development. Where and when I shall materialize – who can say. Much like a Sci-Fi sequel or an Elvis sighting – you can bet I’ll pop up around somewhere not too far away.

As you all know UO’s Team is moving to VA, but being a territorial little creature and native of sunny California, I’ve opted to stay here.

This means I’ll be no longer working with many of my friends on the team, nor getting to serve you, the community as a Dev. It will be a difficult transition for me since I’ve become so accustomed to working hard all day on UO and doing late night and early morning post readings, taking notes, and interacting with so many of you all, in game and on the boards. Oh, and of course making my infamous quirky posts abroad. It’s been a pleasure contributing to UO, the community, and its dev team for the past 3 years.

I want to thank you all for sending me your feedback, questions, suggestions ,ideas and of course your sense of fun, and even stronger sense of community. While I’m sad to be leaving, acquiring a new master and applying my full focus elsewhere – I can part knowing that many good Dev are moving with UO and many good things I’ve contributed to, are still in the works – so the future is still bright. I’m proud to have contributed so much behind the scenes here on the dev team, and for the opportunity serve such dedicated fans. UO is legendary in the history of gaming and your world wide community is peerless.

I shall never forget you.

Cathat

You'll be missed Cathat, thanks for your amazing work and humourous posts on the boards.

Well I for one am sad to see this! Cathat as the one Dev I actually like, the strides you have made have made this a more enjoyable game. Good luck in your future endeavors! You will be missed!

**Gnomy** · 27-11-2007, 12:03 PM

oh no

one of my favorites

You will be greatly missed, I still do hope that you visit us here at UOForms as a normal player/ friend.

I hope you will end up somewhere well.. for a Cat.. The land of catnip.

*Big huggles for cathat* and a *BUNNY BOP* because I never was able to give you one before! You are my favorite Dev and you have contributed some awesome work to UO! I am sad to see you go.

We will miss you, but I hope you still check in here every now and then and let us know how you are, plus share your cat pictures with us!

A sad loss for UO, but good luck in your future endeavors.

Sadly, with Cathat now gone, that could be the new look of UO.

I really do hope he checks back from occasion... I wonder where he will go? Or least inform us of where he is going so we can check up on him and stuff!

Not a good month, losing my two favorite felines in the same month. Said a teary goodbye after euthanizing my 15 yo companion, and now hearing that you're leaving too! Woe is me. Woe is UO.
