Hey everyone,

As of tomorrow, I will no longer be a part of the ArenaNet team. I have accepted a job offer elsewhere, and it will be a big step in my career path.

I’ve been an avid Guild Wars fan since the first one shipped. My life has been intertwined with ArenaNet in many ways. I have learned so much from the team and so much from the community as I’ve progressed through the positions I’ve held here (QA, Alpha Coordinator, PvP Community Coordinator to now covering all of Competitive, Skills and Balance); it’s hard to imagine leaving.

Once I made it onto the Competitive Team, I knew it was the place for me. I have an extremely competitive background, so everything really clicked into place. Needless to say, it’s been a huge pleasure to work here and be on the Competitive Team for the past year.

I’m sad to leave you all behind, but I will still be involved with the team in my own ways. I still hang out with a lot of these guys after work, and will keep an eye on the forums every once in a while to see how things are going. I’m confident that the team can handle things once I’m gone.

I will always love Guild Wars and will continue to work on ranking up in PvP/WvW, and would love to ready up with those of you that are interested!

If you’d like to know what kinds of things I’ll be doing in the future or would like to just stay in touch, here’s some of my info:

Peace out Allie. Not an easy job dealing with forum goers and you didn’t do a bad job of it at all.

Best wishes, Allie. The gender gap and misogyny in the gaming industry is offensive. As a skilled professional, you are a role model for young talent. I hope the journey ahead is very rewarding.

Well I’ve seen you post a lot in your sections, so good to see some active mods, sure you will be missed by the sPvP players. Wish we had an active mod for WvW really…

Macros, you can use them as long as they arent macros.
Remember to buy the officially endorsed GW2 Steel Series Keyboard, it supports macros!
WvW, we only care if it affects the servers we play on.

Ohai! Someone already said this, and the response was:

Anyways, I’m quite sad that Allie chose to go to a new independent game company over and established one like Anet. But at the same time, getting in a company before they breakout is a good opportunity. I wish her the best, and will still look for her in game.

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!
