Dearest Dragon City community,

Writing this and trying to find words for it is difficult... but this Friday, August 23rd, will be my last day. It's been almost 3 years of adventures, updates, new features and many suggestions gathered coming from this amazing community, and this week that journey comes to an end.

This wasn't an easy decision to make, as through all the ups and downs that we've had, I've been honored to represent this community, pushing for the changes and improvements the community wanted. I've tried to represent your voice the best way I could. Now, I can only hope that you've enjoyed having me here as much as I've enjoyed being here with you and that our times together will be remembered.

From the bottom of my heart, big gigantic "THANK YOU" to all of you!

Social Point, and especially the Dragon City Team, has given me a lot over the years, incredible friendships, great experiences, and the opportunity to work with all of you. I'm very thankful! But my itchy feet are calling for new adventures. Please don't worry; Dragon City will carry on as usual, and I can already tease you that many great events are planned for the future! The team is working very hard on a new feature that I'm sure you'll like. Also, get ready for many community choices to be made! For example, choosing the NAME of the upcoming Heroic Dragon, designed by YOU; choosing the Dragons that will be part of the upcoming "Comeback Dragons Event"; and many more!

To my dearest moderators team: THANK YOU for everything! Thank you for our daily little chats, for all the heads up, for always being honest and transparent with me, and for always, always, having my back and assisting me when I needed it the most. I will really miss you, Team! @Bettina-Löffler @Nynaevelan and, of course, our dearest @LilCricketPa

As a Community Manager, I will never forget what we did together for our beloved LilCricket, the way we all came together and worked together to honor her memory forever in the game, that was something really special to me. As a result of our passion and efforts, we made the Little Cricket Dragon:

"The Little Cricket Dragon is very special. This extraordinary dragon is known for her generosity to all dragon masters. The rose on her tail is a symbol of who she is on the inside and out: Kind-hearted and filled with light."

Once again, thank you very much for everything! Wishing you all the best for the future and for your islands!

For one last time... have a great day and see you back on the islands.

Best regards,

Pounawea

I guess my question is: are you stopping to play DC? and I hope someone gets to add more people here (doing what you do or lesser functions) The players needs people like you.

I keep seeing your name and I am new here. We thank you for all the support you have provided.

May you have a happy life elsewhere.

@Pounawea please don't leave, who is going to tell the upcoming events and updates if you are leaving CM!

We are going to miss you

@Pounawea You know I will miss you, you've been a great CM and a dear friend. Take care of yourself, keep in touch and continue to have awesome adventures.

you will be sorely missed @Pounawea ... have enjoyed your updates and enthusiasm; best of everything for you !!

You will be missed very much. You did a great job. Thanks for all you did for us. I hope you will have much fun with a new job. Plus I hope we will hear from you from time to time.

@Pounawea I will miss you too. I feel honored I have met you and I wish you the best. Please stay in touch and when you in the Netherlands give me a call

Thank you @Pounawea, for all your amazing aid to the community. And also thank you for mentioning @LilCricketPa, will never be forgotten.

Thank you for all the help over here on the forums. We all really appreciated it when you gave out news and took our feedback to the devs.

And personally, thank you for attempting to help out with my current situation.

Well, this is a shame to see. The forums need more activity/involvement from a representative like you. Not less.

Thank you for everything you have done for us.

What a sad news @pounawea!

I will miss your helping posts, your game updates, your challenges, but moreover your kindly and friendly way to communicate to us.

The idea of Little Cricket Dragon is a clear example of what a good CM like you can do together with this amazing community.

I think this is your farewell just as CM, and from August 24th you'll become one Dragon Master more in this community. So, it's not a complete goodbye just a changing role.

Big thanks for all that you have done for this community.

@Pounawea Thanks for everything. I will miss you. Hopefully we can still find out about what is to come in the future at the start of each month. Thanks Again!

Dear community,

Thank you all very much for your nice words and wishes! That really means a lot to me!

I'd like to assure you that I couldn't leave without knowing that this community will be well taken care of.

I'm sure you all remember CM @Chewie, he'll be checking the forum and be the direct Point of Contact for our awesome Moderators Team. Please understand that he won't be able to be very active in the forum, but he'll be checking in and chatting with Bettina and Nyn.

That's for very near future. Then, eventually, a new member will join the DC Team, and then a new CM will be helping and assisting you on a daily basis.

Hi @GemSpender!
I won't be able to stop playing this game, I need to keep feeding my Dragons!
As long as time allows me to do it, I'll keep playing Dragon City and working on my islands.

Hello @LuisK,
Thank you very much for your kind words. Really appreciated. As you said, I don't really know whether I'll be an active part of this community anymore, but I'll definitely keep on being a Dragon Master!

Have a great day and see you back on the islands.

@Pounawea, best wishes in finding the ideal balm for your itchy toes. I fully support finding what brings you joy and nourishment today, and appreciate your lovely farewell. I agree that the community’s honoring of @LilCricketPa was a highlight. You’ve been an awesome CM. Thank you for gathering a great team in your legacy. It is from your combined efforts and advocacy that improvements in DC are happening.
