It had been five years since Yggdrasil had launched. But finally this full body virtual reality mmorpg, one of the first of it's kind, was going to be shut down. Player count had dropped too much due to other games becoming more popular. And there just weren't enough players left for the game to remain profitable for the company behind it. The one huge selling point, player freedom, just wasn't enough to keep players from moving on to the next new shiny game to play. That is, of course, apart from the last 30,000 or so people that were still playing on the single remaining server. At least in the west. The tomb of Nazarick was one of the guilds that was still active. If you could still call it a guild that is. It only had a few active players left. And now that the server was shutting down, only two remained that stayed until the end. Everyone else had said their goodbyes and left. The great tomb of Nazarick. Both a famous and infamous PvP guild, being among the top 5 guilds on the server. But now it's halls were empty, it's custom npc's stood idly and silently, and only two players were there to witness it's last moments. One of them being the guild leader.

Sanguine sighed as she finally arrived at the throne hall again. A large throne stood at the far side, with two large wooden tables on the sides of the room. Chairs adorned with names of all the guild members lined the sides facing the walls. A large line of npc's was following the lady towards the throne as she walked. These were the npc's that had been created by the guild's generals and herself. Npc leaders, of sorts, that gave access to ingame commands to manage the guild's other npc's and functions. Sanguine herself had created 2 of them. Jeeves, a human male butler of middle age, whom was the head of the tomb's maids. And Daniëlle, a female elder vampire, and the head of all npc's. Though she looked like a teenager at best.

"It's so empty here now..." The woman softly spoke, remembering the great parties the guild used to have in this hall. She had brought all of the important custom npc's over, wanting to make the throne hall feel a little bit less empty. Though of course npc's couldn't really do that. They could only follow commands, and reply with a limited set of pre-determined responses. At least she wasn't completely alone, as there was still one other player with her. "You here?" She called, wondering if her friend was nearby. "The servers will shut down in half an hour, so...you know..." The main reason she wished her friend would join her was something she wanted to keep a secret. She had a huge crush on him ever since he had joined the guild. However they didn't even live in the same country. And an online relationship just wouldn't work. So she had never told anyone, feeling stupid for falling for a guy she hadn't even seen in real life yet. But at least she wanted to see him as his ingame avatar one last time, before they would likely never meet again.
