Gone Fishin'

Hello you buggers.

Is been a helluva run these past few years, hasn't it? I's gone ta many places, I's hit a lotta muggerflunpers with me axe, and I's met a whole lotta exotic wimmens. Not bad fer a simple orc from Durotar. But I think the time has come fer me ta hang it up. I may have a thing ta say from time ta time, but in general me blogging days is done. So on behalf of Kinnavieve, Danger Mouse, Palintera, Galertruby, Vyprania, and everybody else, I says thanks fer readin', thanks fer the comments, and thanks fer the good times.

Take care youselves, and keep findin' yer fun, whatevers that may be.

    I plan on opening up avatar commissions again soon, you know you're always welcome to get pictures of the gang, even if you don't write about them. I loved doing yours. ^_^ /hug

  8. I will keep this feed active in the reader "just in case".

    And with this, the number of original WoW blogs that I read is reduced to one still active. Shazbot.

    You have been an inspiration and a joy, Ratters. Thanks for the good times.

  13. Hey Ratshag,
    I may not have commented much on your blog, but I've considered you and BigRedKitty among the top bloggers out there.

    You came up with an original way of handling a blog that I applaud, making every post interesting and fun to read.

    I wish you well in WoW and real life.

  14. Awww Ratters, we will miss you! Hope you have fun out there in the big bad world, doing whatever it is you are doing to fill the time you would have spent here.

    Make sure you pop in to BA chat or something and say hi, OK? (of course, you probably still do... while I am sleeping lol)

    Best of luck!

  15. It's always been fun reading you, Ratshag.

    I hope you have a peaceful, relaxing fishing trip.

  16. Figworth's comment pretty much sums up what I have to say. Considering how much time I spent playing WoW (I quit a long time ago), your blog still proved vastly more entertaining in comparrison. Your stories and your team will very much be missed.

    Best of luck in all your future endeavors!

  17. You were one of the first blogs I read and you inspired me to start my own. I absolutely love your writing and every time I look at my blog feeder if there was ever a post of yours, it would be guaranteed to be the first thing I read. When you actually commented on MY blog, I was in heaven.

    So long, and thanks for all the fish. Enjoy what you do, however and wherever you do it.

  18. What can I say?

    I'll be sorry to see you go. The big bad interwebs needs more folks with the sense of humor you have always written with.

    You shall be missed.

    Thankee kindly for the laughter.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Thank you for the many smiles, laughs, the tear or two, and the expansion of my vocabulary.
    Your voice(s) will be sorely missed.

    Fare thee well.

  21. That is sad news ..

    A great original mind of the Interwebs will be dearly missed.

    There are great bloggers in the wow blog'o'sphere who will now have to compete for the top-spot.

    Bah - sod it! I'll stay in denial and keep you in the reader

    ReplyDelete
  22. Very Sad indeed, good luck and God Bless. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Awww Ratters Noooooooo :( This is a sad day. I always look forward to reading your blog posts.

    I hope you will keep writing even if it's not here because you certainly have a talent for it.

    All the best, in game and irl :)

  24. I always enjoyed reading all of your adventures. Take care and good luck in all of your future endeavors.

  25. Ratters, I will miss you greatly! Your blog had such a lovely original take that not many achieve. I do hope the occasional thing does occur to you since I hate to lose track of such wonderfully talented people.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My feed reader will never be the same again without ya, Ratters. You were the first "official" WoW blogger to come over and say hello, I won't ever forget that. You (and, for me, Galertruby) will be sorely missed.

    Good luck with whatever it is you're going off to do, ya great buggerglumper!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Aw Ratters... but think of the WOW ladies... what will they do without Maurice! Our lives will be so empty!

  30. Adios, Mr. Shag. I'll see ya 'round when I see ya.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm sorry I can't consider this a true good-bye until I've heard from all of the team. At least have Galertruby say a few 'words'.

    Take care and fair winds.

    ReplyDelete
  32. ::hugs Ratters:: You better pop into the chat room from time to time (if not more often than that)!

    ReplyDelete
  33. A huge loss to the Orc community, blogging community and drunken singing community.

    Thanks for the laughs Ratshag (and the rest of the team)

    ReplyDelete
  34. What? Wait, what?

    WAHHHHHHHH!!!

    K, so the temper tantrum isn't working... then I'll just say that it's been an honor, my dear. You'll be sorely missed.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Farewell, Ratters. I'll miss your posts - you had an awesome sense of humor, and a rare gift in being able to present it so well. I always had a smile on my face when my reader had an update for you.

    Good luck in the future, and thanks for all the good times.

  36. But but but...

    I just got back! Where am I going to get guides as good as Galertruby's, or explanations of how Warlocks roll from Ellspeth, or my daily dose of Ratshag humor-in-a-can? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO VYP???

    It's been a pleasure readig your blog, Mr. Shag. I hope you are just going on hiatus and leaving the door open to be back at some point.

  37. Farewell Ratshag,
    I will miss you and may your RL avatar have a wonderful life!
    very very best regards,

  38. NO!!!!!

    Where will I get my Maurice updates!?!

    Thanks for the wonderful blog about WoW. Like many others, I will sing your praises for creating such a funny blog and how consistantly you were able to maintain your character's voice(s). While I did not comment a bunch, it was always nice to get an update from you.

    Thanks for all the fish. Take care and good luck in your future endeavors.

    Love you!

  47. Awww, I really loved your writings. Gonna miss your great charismatic orcy self.

  48. Going to miss reading your stuff Ratters. It was always a treat seeing your page pop up on a feed. I'm just glad I work alone on night shift so no one ever saw me nearly fall out of my chair when I read some of your posts.

    Tam thinks you weren't half bad for a greenskinned primitive.

    And I'll very much miss your blog.

  50. So time for you to just enjoy the game?

    You deserve a rest although you'll be missed.

    Thanks for all!

    You, sir orc, are and will always be an inspiration. Thanks for all the stories and the laughs.

    ReplyDelete
  53. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I am going to assume that the wit, creativity and talent of Ratshag's real-life avatar has earned him a lucrative writing contract.

    I say, he's so busy writing the book we will all fall over ourselves to buy... he simply doesn't have time to keep the blog going.

    Of course I, too, am leaving "Need More Rage" in my reader. Forever.

    ReplyDelete
  54. You will be missed sir. Like most here I will keep your blog "on my list", if only to remind myself of times gone by.

    Loved your humor, your creativity and your originality.

    Good luck in life Mr. Ratshag.

    You will be sad to note that you posted your last post on my freaking birthday. Thanks for the present! :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Thank you very very much for all of the work and posts that you have made. You inspired me to create my lady orc warrior.

  57. Longtime reader, first time poster. Ratters and co. have been a riot and a good read; thank you, and best of luck.

  58. All the best to you, you will be missed, even on the other side of the pond.

    I'll always wonder what happens with Maurice.

  64. Can I have dibs on Jaina Proudmoore?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Oh noes. One of my favorite all-time, all-topic bloggers is a blogger no more. Ratshag, thanks for everything you did for me in-game and on my blog. Yours was the very first WoW blog I found, and the first one on my RSS feeder that I couldn't wait to read every day. I'm sorry to see you go, but I completely understand that when something is done, it's done. Take care and keep me on your email list if you ever need me for anything.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Dadburnit..... I hate to hear this. I'll miss you and the staggering amount of laughs I've gotten from here. Perhaps Galertruby can explain what's going on?

    Anyways, take care Ratters. We'll keep the fire burning for you.

  73. I only just learned about your blog sometime in the last 6 months, but I enjoyed it so much I went back and read all the old stuff. Gotta admit I'm curious why you quit, but that's your business. I hope you will return to blogging sometime - if not here in character then perhaps in another way, like BRK did. I enjoy your writing very much!

  76. Well, some time has gone past and I saw your TNB banner on a blog, so I thought I'd drop by.. I was aghast that I hadn't said goodbye.. I could have sworn I did.

    Anyway, hoping this comment find you in good health and happy with life away from the blog...

    Ohh and Happy New Year!
