It's pretty sad when you have to make your own topic due to the fact that everyone you knew really well in a game has long since moved on, but you just couldn't due to lacking closure. After nearly 12 years in this game and 300+ monk fails, the suffering is officially over. Fitting that it landed me squarely on 800 lifetime guildpoints as well.
I'd like to thank:
*Amber (qvp): My original mentor. Put a 150EE lvl 45 club in my hands on day like 5 or 6 of me playing this game so I could start earning her gps.
*Safmy: As close as one could get to being a brother without making it official by causing our parents to get divorced and then married to eachother.
*tim and Tim: I have to watch out because I give everyone named Tim way too much credit in life due to how solid these two guys are.
*Everyone who helped me climb this season to officially get over the hump.
Hopefully it doesn't take another decade+ to get passed ninja.
