Update - yes Roftie quit, he ported next to a Fellowship beacon but hadn't intended to hit the edge one (his words - i accidently hit a outside beacon when i teleported next to a inside one) the trip was so Frenzie would get the report - I suppose so she would know he was quitting? Dunno ...
He apparently still had 200k saphs on his acct when he deleted it - personally I would have revived and gave it another go just for fun
