"I know that there are some Imms who saw me log in, go to shokai's shrine, pray wait about a half hour doing nothing, either drop link or go to a city to quit. One of the reasons why I stopped ranking and started praying frequently again was 1) only one or two wanted to rank with me 2) I was of no use to the ranking group. I asked alot of lightwalkers to group and none of them ever asked me to learn with them after rank 38."

So, you hit a rough spot, stopped putting forth the effort, and it's Shokai's fault? With a character that you should have known before hand that you were going to have to put out a lot to pull off. I'd say this is probably the reason it didn't happen. I'm glad they didn't just hand you your specs back, give you a shiny gold aura, and send you on your way. If you actually wanted to play the char for something other than a dwarf in maran with detect hidden, you'd have enjoyed it enough to stick it out. Your pissiness was thinly veiled. Your final comment "I'm taking a permenant break for good. Good bye and thanks." makes you sound like an ex of mine, a drama queen that liked to garner sympathy. Just like her, no one's going to try to stop you from leaving. Have a good life.
