[Mordachai Draegonne]

The past few months have been filled with indecision and sadness, watching my friends leave and scatter to the four winds while i stayed in Treve which i love so dearly. Now, after seeing the sim near empty and after having argument after argument with the Council about how the Sim is being ran, i have decided to take my leave aswell. I do not hold any ill will against the Council; They have their opinions, i have mine... thats the way it goes. The people closest to me will tell you how hard this decision was for me, how ive struggled with it, how they took the brunt of my anger and despair when i felt helpless to stop the decay of Treve. Even now, i am sat here with tears in my eyes as i write this (aye, i am an emotional person).

I wish Treve all the best, i will visit when i need a touch of home.. in whatever shape or form.

[Rayzor McAuley]

I feel your pain.  Its never easy to leave a place that you've invested yourself into.  I hope you find a good new home.

[Shikhandi Panthar]

I have not interacted with you much, Mord, but it certainly is a sad news.

I wish you all the best, whatever you chose to do going forward.

[Elle Couerblanc]

Treve is a beautiful place with beautiful people so I understand how hard this decision must have been for you. 

* Elle Couerblanc wraps her arms around Mord and gives him a big hug.

[Morgan Daxter]

I know exactly how you feel Mord..I cried for days when the split happened, but I had to go where I was wanted and could make a difference.
BIG HUGS!

[thyri Carver]

Mord, I've shed more tears recently over those who've left than I'd ever care to.

You and those in your household will be missed, more than I can ever express.

[Laja DeCuir]

That is really slaming me with my back against the wall this morning...We only met once before I somehow left sl and only do some admin stuff in the background especially with the forum here. To see you leaving is something I do understand completely but it is so sad news.
On the other hand I do know that you and yours were welcomed with open friendly arms so I do imagine it was another sort of coming home for you.  I take comfort in that thought.
Don't make yourself a stranger. I will continue to watch your path from afar and wish you all well!

I am sad to see Treve turn into what it did and how things went. Very sad and it was hard for many of us too to leave so I know what you are going through. But for me my breaking point is being too stressed out to log on and many decisions made behind closed doors which sadly degraded many of my friends who been in Treve for so long and slapped them in the face. It's very sad but I knew the minute it became a stressor to be there and no longer a joy, it was my time to go. I do wish all well though and hope Treve rises again one day. I wish you well on your path Mord, wherever it may hold for you.

I have always found one of the hardest things to do as a role-player is to leave a game or in sl case a sim I had been a part of for awhile.  I role-played in Treve off and on my whole time in Sl Gor. Longest time spent was a straight 2 years on the sim. I have a passion for Treve. Its where I started, what I loved, the people, the community, but nothing last forever. My day came too that I knew it was time to go, to leave Treve. It was very hard to do but with me I took the good times, the friends I had made who to this day we are still friends... so Mord, I know your pain. Remember the good times and I am sure where ever you go... your make more good times to a new home.  Your a good person and one that I have always had respect for.

[Rhylee Resident]

I have read and re read this post. It is always sad when people leave a sim they have called home for a long time. At times, though, we are all pulled in different directions for whatever the reasons.

As for "What Treve has turned into" (Dana's words)...I must say, Treve is still and will always be Treve. Home to many, whether they wander or not. We, that have remained true to our homestone, are drama free and peaceful. We too, could throw stones, yet choose to hold our heads high and be the proud Trevians that we are! I wish the best to all of you, of course and do hope you will pop in from time to time and visit your -home. It is rumored, you know, once you have called Treve home it is in your blood and well, home is always home.

Love to you all...best of wishes to you all...Treve will not rise again, because Treve never fell!

Well said, Xaz! You are right. It is difficult to leave, but best to move forward, remember the good times and great friends and then focus on enjoying your new home.

I agree Xaz. I must say though that now it feels very right to have left. I'm very happy where I am and hope Mord will be. And moving on was the best thing to do at the time. And to me Treve isnt the same.. not anymore but thats my own perception and thats why I was happy to leave and start anew.

To quote one of my favorite stories/explanations :

" People always come into your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a godsend too you, and they are. They are there for a reason, you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the season eventually ends.

LIFETIME, relationships teach you a lifetime of lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway);, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being part of my life.....

Goodbyes are part of life, wether it is SL or RL. And though it hurts - less or a lot - this story has helped me through alot of goodbyes in my past and will continue to do so in the future.. hope it'll help you as well

This made me laugh.

From what I can see it appears Treve has lost 7 of their council members to another sim with the last few months -   followed by a hell of a lot of of their players.   
I looked at the traffic listings and Treve is only 9k today after a Friday night       There is never anyone there when I do go.

I think the current leaders should really ask themselves what they did wrong to take the busiest sim in Gor and turn it into a graveyard...
