I dunno if I'm right about it, but it seems to me like Rarebit himself didn't expect to leave just now. It looks like a really fresh decision. But that's just my impression.
It does seem that way to me also;

Whatever reason it is for you wishing to leave the game industry, I am sure it is for the right reasons, and because YOU felt like you had to leave it behind and not because it seemed like the only viable option to whatever reasoning was behind it. It is a shame really, because unlike the music and movie industry the game industry is still growing extreamly fast, with more and more opportunities opening up all the time to make some big bucks (Look at the demand in Smartphone game market in the recent months), seems to be one of the safest industries to be in at the moment.
I am a tad reluctant to start brown-nosing like a few others, but I will just say that (even though I personally havn't jacked in to the matrix for quite a few seasons, I have watched from the sidelines as to speak) you helped delay this scenario for a good 18-24months, you gave many people the thrill of logging on and pertaking in the ongoing story of The Matrix, competiting for prizes and recognition from yourself and the community. Yes there hasn't always been happiness, there has been conflict over the identities over those that have been in LESIG, leaks of event plans and details and various of other mishaps. But overall, it hasn't been a bad experiance, we all wish there was more, but isn't the grass always greener on the other side?
Guess a thank you to you is in order also.
Rare,
Wow! I knew something was up when you announced about the cutting back on live events....
Thank you for all the time and work that you put on The Matrix Online. MxO would not be what it is without you behind it. Thank you for EVERYTHING!
I hope you dont quit the gaming industry at all. There are several reports that gaming had more sales than DVDs last year. Like Unitoxic said, the gaming industry is booming right now... i hope you take advantage of those 10 years of experience. Do not give up cause of this prio
See you out there!

Rare you have been a great dev you were deffintly a key into keeping this game around as it has been as for that you will be missed thanks for the new content Live events and Story lines.
I thought it was just a cruel joke....had to see for myself. Never thought this day would ever come. I thought the game would die, be cremated, die again, then dumped in the bowels of hell before you would ever quit. I wish you the best. We will never forget you or everything you have done for this game.
The Eccentric One
Rarebit,
Thanks for all the good times you created for me and mine in MxO. This game could have been really amazing but I understand the hurdles. I have had a blast and met some really amazing people. You did a great job keeping it afloat. I wish you all the best in whatever you do personally and professionally. It obviously won't be the same without you but if it's alive, I may stop in every now and then to see what's the haps. Anyway, take care and thanks for the memories.

Oh balls.
I hope you'll understand that words cannot express my deepest regret that you are leaving MxO and the game industry, Rarebit. You were an OUTSTANDING asset to this game and I know it wouldn't have been the same without you.
Would it be too much to tell you I love you? Yes, no? Well, take that how you wish, I guess.
Please keep in touch. <3
This is kind of a shock, I guess.
Well - for what it is worth Benny - I loved you and hated you at the same time. It was fun meeting you at Fan Faire 08. You are still pretty hawt looking. Heehee.
May your endevors out there be good ones, maybe you'll get to make your own title someday and it will be a big hit.
Be Seeing You
Can't say as I had much interaction. One Agent Grey meeting and one visit with the Oracle, tho'. Those were pretty neat. Well. Bye.
Because of this recent event I have decided to resub for at least 1 month to see how all of this works out...
It is sad to see ya go Rare...been through a lot...MxO definitely won't be the same without you
Sad news indeed, despite my personal misgivings about the way the story was developing (apologies if I was overly vocal) I never ceased to admire the dedication, ingeniuity and skill you always showed this game and moreover the classy way you handled its diverse community. You have a rare gift in juggling many diifering issues and personalities and I hope it will resurface somewhere else before long, from your announcement it seems the loss isn't just MxO but the gaming world in geneneral.
I had many, many happy experiences here and like many others, some still present and some who have moved on, you are owed a tremendous debt of gratitude for what you did and how you kept it going.
All the very best in whatever you turn your hand to next.

Tytanya!!
Thanks for the hard work and putting up with so much *rubbish*.
Sorry to see you leave MxO, but hopefully there are bigger and better things on your horizon.

From all of us in WinterBrood-EPN, Thank YOU for all the good times, and sticking it out when things just weren't going your way cause of budgets and lack of help.
We hope for all the best in your future endeavors, and perhaps if you decide to stay in the industry, we'll catch up to you in another game (God only knows how many games we're involved in now).
If you would like, I could make you a honorary member of the Brood, just visit our website http://www.winterbrood.com , and either Personlll or myself will see that you get access. (btw, the zioncouncil.org site was us, just in case you didn't figure that out, but I'm sure you knew).
Best of Luck, Stay Safe, and don't allow anyone to put you down.
Thank YOU for your dedication and determination. Loved what was done in the earlier days of when you joined our community, but as the years passed thing's just seemed...off, which really isn't your fault. Again, Thanks for all of the hardwork you put into MxO.
