    Hey all,

    It's been a crazy run with D3 and with MPQ and MtGPQ in particular, but it's time for me to go check out other things in life. Today will be my last day with the company, and obviously with working directly on Marvel/Magic Puzzle Quest.

    The great Elder God Cthulhu has been training as my understudy for the last little while, and under his capable tentacles and David's watchful gaze, things should continue much the same as they have been.

    Even despite the occasional eruptions of flame threads and forum explosions, this forum has largely been made up of a ton of level headed, intelligent and great people that I've loved to interact with, either through posts or meeting in person at one of the various cons. You all have made working on these games so much more fun and interesting than any of the dozens of boxed products that I've put out over the years.

    I'm still planning on playing the game (both of them), so when you see IceIX out there, please don't snipe me. icon_e_smile.gif

    Cheers and hotdog.png to all!

    Did you quit because you got sandboxed?

    JK JK. Please don't ban me.

    In all honesty I don't think anyone was able to reply during the crazy flame moments in this forum as well as you could. Your communication abilities and tact in relating to the issues going on were second to none. This forum will definitely miss you.

    Best of luck.

    Will our feeble human minds be capable to withstand too many glimpses of an Elder One?

    Tired of your hands being tied and the direction of the game being dictated to you?

    I already long for the sweet embrace death will provide after the exquisite horrors that are ahead of us.

    Ice, I appreciate all your hard work into putting out an entertaining product in MPQ, and your willingness to sit down with your players to discuss issues w/ us as they came up over the years. Best of luck to you!

    So, assuming you're still going to be active on the forums, will the powers that be simply "de-red" your name, or should we be on the look out for another username... possibly, "Symbol formerly known as IceIX" icon_e_smile.gif

    Regards,
    Cypr3ss.

    Good luck in the future, IceIX. With the multitude of games I have played, you have always been the person to which I judged other developers' voices to the playerbase. I appreciate everything you have done and hope Cthulhu can live up to the standards set by you. Hopefully, you find what you are looking for in external ventures and pop back in the forums occasionally. Thanks and take care!

    Best of luck in all your future endeavours.

    I know I am one of the most truculant posters but after 12 years doing the same job, last year I ventured on a career change so I understand how you feel.

    Good luck Ice, stay cool as you go through that never ending PVE of life and work.

    You've been a source of communication between players and devs, like any relationship, with ups and downs. You had the task of balancing your role as a player and that of a producer... Mostly successful too.

    It won't be the same around here, you will be missed.

    Best wishes IceIX

    IceIX, thank you for all you've done for us.

    Good luck wherever the road may take you!
