    The Road goes ever on and on....

    I am moving on from Turbine and I wanted to thank all of you for a wonderful experience. The creation of the Warden class is the one thing I am most proud of during my time at Turbine. I will always remember Steve, cookys, ferrets and all of your wonderful stories about becoming Wadens.

    And whither then? I cannot say.

    I havent rolled a warden, but all the same good luck to you on your endeavors and thanks for all you've done for the class. I often find myself looking upon wardens with a combination of wonder and envy as I roam Middle Earth. You deserve to be proud of it.

    The warden is by far the best MMO class I've played, thank you for that.

    All the best.

    I can say like many here that the Warden class which became my main after the class came is the best way to enjoy adventuring through Middle Earth.

    Thankyou!

    Thank you for all your efforts while working on this game.
    The warden class is an excellent example of you being able to think outside the box.
    It is a wonderful class with a great mechanic to play.

    It is sad to see you go - I wish you all the best on your future endeavors.

    Graal, I would like to thank you. The creation of this class has given me many hours of enjoyment. I would have never stuck to lotro if not for the warden. It is the single best class in any game ever created! Im sad to see you go, but I wish you the best of luck in your travels.

    The warden was an incredibly unique and intricate class, when I first heard it I was worried about about the overlap and future of the guardian class. But once I rolled one many moons ago in Moria it was clear it was created with care and compassion for all class while occupying a unique space in Middle Earth. I stuck with the Guardian but I hope your proud of your achievements as we are Graal and all the best in the future.

    You will be missed

    Your clear communications with the players, quick acknowledgement when things weren't working as intended, and the give and take on the forums will be long remembered.

    And yeah, Waden's are awesome! Incredible fun to play.

    Thanks for giving us a chance to say farewell.

    Best of luck in all your future endeavors.

    Sad to see you go! Thanks for all the years making Champs an effing blast to play, and all the years since making the others just as fun.

    Really depressing to see LOTRO icons disappearing...hope you land a great job, and come back and play with us!

    Your creation of the Warden is what has kept me subbed. My main minstrel is fun but there is something about the Warden playstyle, the feeling that if I can just get faster or smarter with my rotation that I can become indestructable, that keeps me coming back for more.

    Despite the warts you can definitely hang your hat on the class. There is nothing else like it out there.

    Very sad to see such a creator of originality go. Good luck and whoever picks you up is a lucky employer.

    Curiously, the evolution of the internet seems inversely proportional to the evolution of man.
