[Leonis]

Hello Rookies and Roserians,

 

I'm addressing you both because you've both been an exceptional part of my experience and life here with Gravity Interactive, Inc. Yes, this is what it looks like. Due to some life circumstances, I unfortunately am leaving Gravity Interactive & WarpPortal.

 

To my Roserians,

We had a great many years together and got through it all. I am so happy to see, after all these years, the progress we've made together. The way ROSE evolved, was because of you, and I hope to continue to see it grow, evolve and become the amazing world we all know and love it to be.

 

To my Rookies,

It may have been a quick ride, but it was so much fun to get to be part of it, to get to know a new community and see how much passion it has. Keep your passion strong!

 

 

Everyone, again, thank you for all the wonderful memories. I will never forget my time here and hope wherever I end up, I will have a community as amazing as you all have been. I couldn't have done half the things accomplished without your support and passion for the games we love to play. I'll see you all in-game, only you may not know who I am as "Leonis" is being retired.  

 

Thank you again. So long, and thanks for all the fish.  

 

Ryan "Leonis"

You will be missed, Ryan, you have brought the game quite a long ways from the way you all got the game from Triggersoft.

 

Thank you for all of your hard work and hope all goes well for you.

Ryan, you already know how I feel.  Thanks for everything you're done, both for ROSE and for me personally.  You have a place in my heart forever.

 

I know you are going to go on to even greater things as you close this chapter of your life and open a new chapter. 

 

Best of luck always!

Hello Ryan,

 

I am not part of ROSE, but we had some great talks!

I wish you all the best for any new adventure you will begin.

 

Good Luck!

 

[Fliederduft78]

Thanks so much for all you have done!

 

Special thanks for letting me have Bob's little brother Choropy. No, I haven't forgotten and I never will.

I wish you good luck for the future and for all the adventures awating you.

Leonis,

 

It is sad news that I heard that you are leaving.  I was a part of Rose during much of your tenure, starting in Feb 2004 on Irose, and joining closed beta NArose in Sept 2005.  Here it is over 11 years later.  Well, it was a good run but I know it hasn't been without stress for you.

 

God bless you and take care of yourself.  I wish you all the best in your future beyond Rose and hope and wish you health and prosperity.

 

Cheers, CoffeeMuse (Jim)

[NeedleMouse]

[Feuer]

Huh, I'll be damned. Good luck sir. I suppose this means I have much work to do. 

[Zurn]

We'll miss you Ryan, good luck!

[CottonCandies]

I just woke up and read this, I felt sad well anyway goodluck Ryan! I will never forget you, your passion, efforts you contributed to this game, thank you so much!

[HoneyBunz]

Not gonna cry (trying not to at least) but just know that you will be deeply missed.  You should be very proud of what you accomplished in ROSE.  Nothing will be the same with you gone but I hope you meant it when you said you will be in-game sometimes. You have an open, never expiring invitation to join Truth anytime.

 

Thanks for welcoming me and my displaced friends when we came here in 2014 and a special thanks from me personally. Thank you for always taking the time to answer my millions of dumb questions, and for never letting me feel dumb for asking them. Your kindness will never be forgotten. My goal is to be as patient with others as you have always been.  You set that bar high but I'll do my best.

 

Good luck now and always. Pleas stay in touch <3

So many players have made great memories here. Some of us have been around for years and years, but no one had to play for long in order to experience this game thanks to your devotion. I enjoyed exchanging ideas and working with you. I wish you the best!

[Aeirazu]

WoW,good luck with your new adventure. Will be missed. To all my rookies please keep playing some of us old members will be returning soon. Enjoy

[Mushy2000]

So many oldies here, anywho Your dedication showed in your long time commitment to this game. I believe you truly tried your best to do what you could with what you were given, the same cannot be said for many developers today. Rose Online was my first pay to play MMO(yes this game used to be p2p). You were always the face of this game to me. Your castle gear avatar stared me in the face teasing me as it had not been released yet at that time. Having not played for quite awhile but always checking in to see how things were, you were the one constant that this game had, and your presence will surely be missed. With your knowledge I'm sure you've made sure that you have a very capable team to take over your work. I'm not saying this lightly but I really believe this game is still running because of you and a few select people who stepped up to the plate when things got rough. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the OG moderators. It's sad to see you go but I really hope your next project brings you much success. Good luck!
