I want to join everybody else in the WoW blogging community in saying farewell to one of the pioneers and true champions in the World of Warcraft blogosphere.
Phaelia from Resto4Life will be shutting the place down as of March 19th, 2009. Phaelia and Mr. Phae are in the process of having a baby, and it’s simply a matter of priorities.
On a personal note, although I’ve never had more than one-sentence conversations with Phaelia (I can’t imagine the amount of mail she receives) she has always been helpful, enabling, and encouraging. Aside from “the really major players” I think I’ve gotten more referral traffic from Resto4Life than any other WoW blog. I am honoured that Phae chose to keep me “on her list” for so long. From such a heroine of the art, I know of no greater compliment.
But she hasn’t pulled the plug YET! Hurry on over! In typical Phaelia style, she’s throwing a party and running a contest. There is a Belkin Nostromo Speedpad N52TE up for grabs, and I would be quick to point out that the contest is open to Canadians as well! (Seems some things just work better when you don’t have an in-house legal department to deal with. *cough*) Hurry on over and get your entries in. Let’s let Phae know that we love her, and that she is going to be deeply missed.
We wish Phae and her new sapling health, happiness, and a long life.
And Phae? If the baby comes out with a beard, and a dagger in one hand (and a beer in the other) do me a favour and delete my e-mail address out of your Outlook ok hon? Mwah.
