A week later from LI Retro 2026 and we still can’t wait to play with all of you again.

Who’s ready to do it again next year?

Without them, there would be no LI Retro. They may be NPCs in the background but they give everyone a main character moment.

A tremendous thank you to the tireless volunteers lead by Courtney Funk, blue shirt staff, the incredible catering services from Taheni Cafe and Grill, and the amazing Cradle of Aviation team for putting on the best event in the game.

But this year marked a significant change for our family as it would be the first LI Retro without our great Floor Coordinator and dear friend, Terry.

It won’t be the same without you but we’ll always keep leveling up with you in mind.

Play forever Mr. Taylor.
