My work is done!
 

The moment has come for me to retire from active EQ2 UI modding and to put ProfitUI Reborn to rest.

I originally took up modding to improve my game experience and in the process hopefully yours, too. However, I have not been playing the game for so long now that I feel it is time to step back and let others take over. ProfitUI has been kept alive by this great community before and I am sure that it will happen again. And of course there are many other great mods available here, maybe this is an opportunity to check them out.

Big thanks once more to Kaldran for programming, hosting and supporting the ProfitUI updater. I'll leave the decision what to do with it in the future to him. Many thanks also to everybody who contributed to ProfitUI over the years. It was a good experience to be running the ProfitUI Reborn project since March 2006, I very much enjoyed it, but my work is done now. I'm looking forward to see it be reborn once more by others!

I'll be around. :)

Wow seriously? Hate to see you leave. You have really done so much with EQ2MAP for the UI/Modding community. Hell if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know half of what I know now about the UI and xml.

At any rate, we will all miss you and your coding skills. I use ProfitUI and I might consider reviving it since I have learned so much and I know and understand most of what you have done with it. We'll see in the near future.

Thank you for your devotion and everything you have done up to this point in time. Your work will continue to influence me.

Drop by and chat every now and then!

This is a sad day. I love profit and hate to see you go. I surely hope someone picks up the project and keeps it alive and well.

You will be missed! Good luck in your future endavours :(

I hope we'll see you again somewhere down the road.

gm9 you have helped so many people and brought so much to the EQ2 UI modding community. I just want to thank you for everything you have done. If there is anything I can do for you in the future please do not hesitate to ask.

/salute gm9

Take care gm9. I hope that you find some more coding opportunities to be a part of in the future. It is people as yourself who directly aide the formation of a strong community such as this.
I'm sure there will be those who can step up and get the ProfitUI through all the game updates :D

Thanks for the help, the ideas, and the GM interactions that you've been a part of. Hope to see ya still browsin' the forums here and there.

Woah

I just would like to say a big big thankyou for what you have done with ProfitUI, i myself have been useing profit very close to when you took it over and i have seen it improve and improve :) . I will be very sad to see you move on but understand you cant do this for ever ( why not ?? lol ).
I hope that who ever does take over profit will keep to the same standards as you have set.:eek:
So i hope where ever you go it will work out and dont forget us as some of us wont forget you or what youve done

Very sad to hear this news, but it is understandable knowing that you no longer play.

You will be missed a lot.

'tis a sad day indeed. You will surely be missed!

Thank you for all that you have done!

Indeed, Sad to see you go.. But Thanks a Million to you, my experience and as of many others with the game of EQ2, where improved thanks to you.
Hope to see you soon... Yea EQ2 is a bad adicting mofo, dont resist it! HAHA

Bye gm9. You'll definitely be missed.

Safe travels wherever your new waypoint takes you!

Ah nuts. :(

Sorry to see you go, but thanks for all the work you've done with the ui. I've been using it for years and greatly appreciate it! :)

Hope it'll stick around for some time longer, and that SOE doesn't horribly break it with their ui revamp coming up in the next year (i don't post much, but i lurk about in forums and i've read the discussions in the dev section on these boards about refreshing the EQ2 ui :D )

All the best to you gm9!

HA! Another forum lurker joins the ranks..

:eek: Who's going to answer all of my coding questions?

Can I assume that you aren't giving up MMORPGs all together? So what game are you playing?

Well thanks for all the help and good luck with what ever you choose to pursue.

You have done a great service in making Profit for the masses and keeping it updated. It is a wonderful UI and almost indispensable for so many players. I am sure it takes a huge amount of time to keep up with all the changes.

Thanks for all that you have done gm9!!

As a user of ProfitUI Reborn, I just wanted thank you for all of your effort in improving and modding this UI. It has made the game much more enjoyable for me and my better half as we both use it daily. We have turned tons of friends onto it as well the past three years.

Your contribution has been great and will be sorely missed but thanks again for all that you did with it :)

GM9 we will miss you alot. You have done an amazeing job and I truely wish you wouldn't leave.


:( :( :(


Thanks for everything you have done

Your contributions have been huge!
 

And we all thank you for all your hard work, your patience with some of the less knowledgeable, and your diligence in maintaining several EQ2 mods. Good luck in all your endeavors.

Hallo gm9,

ich finde es sehr Schade, daß Du geht, Du hast eine wunderbare Arbeit gemacht und seit dem Du mir mal gesagt hattest wie es Dir geht, hatte ich "Angst" vor diesem Tag, denn ich glaube ohne Deine UI kann ich EQ einfach nimmer spielen ;-P.
Aber wir werden sehen was die Zeit bringen wird.

Dir wünsche ich ALLES nur erdenklich gute für die Zukunft und möchte mich nochmals für Deine viele Arbeit und Mühe die Du dir gemacht hast bedanken.

Wenn es dazu führen, dass Sie sich besser fühlen Explorer, werde ich versuchen, um die UI-Updates auftreten können, wenn diese Änderung oder brechen.

You will surely be missed. You have done so much for eq2. Thanks for all your hard work in all the areas you were involved in.

Thanks guys and gals, your kind words and wishes are much appreciated!

/salute

Ask Landiin, I love to show off so I'll still do it. :p

I'm currently spending my days on MyBrute - no, just kidding (but everybody make me a pupil anyway) - I've actually been flying around space a bit in EVE Online recently (no UI modding possible there but I already wrote a couple of small apps for it...).

Well just to throw out suggestions for games to watch...Check out 38Studios.com

Agreeing with Dragowulf here...been watching that same company for some time now.

Well with the All-Star team that they have, who the hell wouldn't?

Lies!
 

LIES!

I do not remember giving you permission to retire!

/waves hand in Jedi fashion

You must continue to support ProfitUI and start playing EQ2 again.

Thx for your Work GM9 and Good Luck on your Way ;)

Thanks for all the work you did. While ProfitUI was good it only got better after it's rebirth! You did a great job esp. as you weren't playing for a long time and still spend hours so that we had a better gaming experience!

Beside you work with ProfitUI you also helped EQ2Maps to keep up with TSO and also helped a lot of other UI-authors to get started. The EQ2 modding scene wouldn't and will not be the same without you. :(

I hope everything works out for you and you find something interesting to do with your new free time. ;)

Best wishes!

Thanks for all the work you have done (made the game playable after my Carpel tunnel (sp?) hit me hard) and made it fun. :)

/thanks

Thanks GM9 for U great Inteface !

I use it since 2007 and I love it :d

Good Work !!

Wow.....:eek:

I don't use Profit-reborn, but you have personally answered a lot of questions I have had, or helped on this or that....it's a sad, sad day for the EQ2 community indeed.

I'm very sad to see you go , I wish you the best in all your future endeavors, and hope you find a new game, and community to call home soon. Any community you join is blessed to have you as a member.

God speed mate

Thanks so much, gm9, for all your work on Profit Reborn. I would be lost without it, so I sincerely hope someone will step up and take it over.

Good luck and all the best to you!

Thank you GM9 for your work on a great UI, best of luck to you.

Sorry to see you go. I started using Profit UI just before 06 and have always looked forward to the changes to Profit as EQ2 its self changed. Good luck to what ever other projects you choose ... or choose you. :)

Oh no........... I have been using Profit for years, literally. It will be very very very very very very difficult for me to adjust to a new UI after all this time. There is so much about this one that I know and love, and its all thanks to you gm9. Good luck with whatever you choose to do. You have made this game more enjoyable for me for years, I can't find the words to thank you.

GM9 I salute you..

I have been using Profit UI since 1 week after it first got launched, and for me it was a sad day when it "died" the first time..
Then you came as a knight in shining armore and saved us all, and made something, that was already good, great..
I can not even try to imagine the hours you have spend to gaming hours go more smooth that Sony could even think of themselves..
heck I'm sure that some of the new things they have in their standart UI was directly stolen from Profit (And others from this site ofc).

I surely get 5 stars in my book for your hard work and time spend..

Thank you very much, and all the best for you in your future gaming/UI modding

* Starts to look around for someone to continue the best UI ever created for EQ2 *

that's really sad to know :/

but thx for all you have done so far, i use profit since i started to play eq2 so it's like the default interface for me :o

Damn that blows, what if I donated 500 bucks for another year of management?
