Some of you may know SaintGermain in-game on the Moonrunner-US server. He’s a good FFB mage that can rock the DPS charts, CC mobs into turtles and has one short week he’s waiting for in September to earn a Violet Proto-drake.
I’ve played him for awhile and enjoyed my time in-game. I’ve made a few friends and learned a lot about the WoW universe.
Some of my greatest memories in-game were raiding SSC and getting that elusive Serpent-Coil Braid. Thank god there were only three mages there and it was just a quick /roll to get it. And winning it made my mana management so much easier.
I also remember the chance to play in the WotLK beta months before anyone else with a few of the people here at Project Lore. Seeing all the new terrain and the texture was just amazing and it got me excited all over again to play WoW and level to 80. And the chance to get into Naxx, something that was only a dream when I started playing only a few months before TBC came out. That was going to be awesome.
WotLK came out and I got to 80 in a few weeks. I joined a great new guild and we destroyed Naxx 25 over and over again. I even got The Turning Tide. Still waiting for the ring, but there’s always something, right?
WoW. It’s been fun.
And in real life, I’ve had the good fortune of being able create video content for you here at Project Lore.com.
I’ve produced and directed almost 250 episodes and edited at least 200 episodes of Project Lore in the past year. In all that time, with all of those 90+ hours weeks I put in, I continued to do my best to make sure you got the best WoW video content on the web.
Some of my favorite episodes you may never know about because I had to cut so much of it. Early on the guys enjoyed themselves and spoke like some people on vent tend to do, but that’s far beyond the PG-13 atmosphere I tried to keep the show at over the past year. But wow, if you could see the outtakes.
And some of the things that have made it to air - amazing. Goggins singing, Jimmy pulling, all of the guys dying in STV. And what about the inventive way to take down Anub’arak? Or the famous sheeping of ‘08? Or that amazing wipe on KT? Epic.
Wow. It’s been fun.
As you probably have guessed by now, this will be my last blog post. I’ll be moving on from Project Lore, headed for a new adventure.
I may not go the way of BRK or Phaelia, but I do know that I won’t be at Project Lore. I’ll still play Saint, maybe level up a few alts, maybe try RAF to really speed it up.
I had intended to complete all of the 33 WoW Life Lessons for you, but as with life, sometimes things… well, you know.
As far as the other WoW Life Lessons that I was going to share with you, they are always available for you… in life and in-game. I’m sure that if you’re open to it, WoW will teach you whatever life lesson you may need at that time. And I am certain life will too.
Yes there are jerks. Yes there are noobs. And yes there are mobs that you will never beat alone.
But there are also pugs that rock, epic rollz and phat lootz with your name on it. And you won’t even have to spend any DKP for it.
And most important, there are groups/guilds/good friends out there in the world just waiting to find you that you can hang with, play some games and have some fun.
I am confident that those who work at Project Lore will continue to do their best to bring you the WoW content that you want. They will try to make it happen for you. Just be kind to them, and click on a few ads once in awhile. This site may be free to you but it isn’t free to make.
And now my time is done. Another will pick up the torch. I will go my merry way off to my next adventure to gain rep with another faction and get some epic loot.
Thank you all for the opportunity to share some shows with you.
Take care and have fun.
Saint.

Thank you for what you have done here at Project Lore. Best of luck man. I’d throw in the Irish Blessing but that is kinda cheesey.
