  • Sundren Memories

    With the upcoming Vault Wipe and the New start of Sundren in a future time I thought I'd start a thread that everyone could make comments about some of their best memories of Sundren. Tell us about your characters, your adventures, your play with other players. We should really preserve Sundrens history, we have all worked really hard to create it. You guys get started. I'll jump in with some of my favorite times too.

    Suppose I could lead the recounting of memories. Any time I logged in with Allan usually turned out to have some pretty fun rp. Whether it was him on official BH business, or mingling with the people of the valley in disguise, it was fun to play a guy who could be described as a tangle of secrets and lies, all wrapped in a fine suit with a knife or two hidden away.

    Okay, for a specific moment on the server that I always remember quite fondly, it'd have to be the Sundarian awards ceremony after the city took off, and where the phrase "Special Elmer" was coined. By the way, I'd like to thank everyone who put up with the horrid lag that I was experiencing that evening, it was monsterous pain in hte ass, no doubt for many involved.

    Another thing I think I'll remember for a while is how Allan specifically chose the "Samual the Merchant" guise to try and annoy James and the rest of Exigo... Well, mostly James, really. On that note, rping with everyone was fun, but there were some characters and players who really stole the show in my eyes, namely Fury, Fuzziebunny, Kit, Gamestar, Jhickey, Nezzerscape, and Memnoch. You're the ones whose names, both User and Player, that first come to mind when I think of fun and interesting rp on this server. From characters I found to be extremely interesting, to simply being fun to talk to both IC and OOC, hats off to you.

    Now, I suppose I'll end this with the idea I've had for my next character when the new start comes around- I've had my heart set on a sort of spiritual successor to Allan, in the form of a pirate-ly character, like my original idea for Fang Boy was. Still working on details for them, but I think they'll be quite interesting.

    Hope to see you guys at the New Start!

    We can axe if we want to, leave that sword behind. Because your friends don't axe, and if they don't axe then they're no friends of mine.

      Although I didn't get involved in big plots very often I have a ton of small happy memories from Sundren. Top of the list would be the grudging 'conversations' my Elf would have with a certain Orc druid who didn't speak common. Listening to Elmer's war stories around the campfire (spontaneously in the middle of a run, then forgetting about the run because his stories were more fun), being taught legion tactics by Peridan, being in the battle for Sundren city and somehow living despite not being Epic level, having a duel with Kaizen in the shaharan hills, then putting up with his veiled jokes about my loss while i had to RP having no recollection, and lastly just RPing stuff which has nothing to do with fighting, fishing while chatting to Abbey on the pier, tending trees in the Viridale, or having clothes tailored while being grilled on my love life.

      Many more ppl contributed to these memories, even if i didn't mention ur name specifically! (Yes badguys, i mean you too)

        I have a hard time really saying what was my favorite memory from Sundren. I have on the whole had by and large a huge swath of my most fond memories on this server, across a wide breadth of characters. From my earliest time here playing as Yashedeus, one of my first NWN2 characters period. Through to Kyoko my divination specialist, who only hit level 13 and helped stave off the resurrection of Myrkul for a while, before being captured by the black hand and horribly magic'd to death by Clive.

        Then I went through a couple minor characters, Rogue3 convinced me to make a Lathanderite, Anasath who remains dear to me as one of my favorite NWN2 characters to date. Playing someone who is as unabashedly joyful, care free and bright spirited was a nice break from the broody characters I normally play. Grinning Death also ran my favorite event with the Abyss line during this period. There was also Chione, my mega-tank who solo'd the Black Tax and a Black Hand character with her golem-powered armor.

        I can say I enjoyed much of it, from my interactions with Lauan, Dain, Lasvi, Esmundo, and so on. I have to say though that taking on the role of the villain for that brief little period with Demosath was probably one of my favorite events. That moment where Dain turned around with both his allies defeated, beaten and bruised to see Demon-Anasath walk out of the shadows, grinning and mocking his failure to protect her, and them.

        The philosophical and romantic exchanges between Gabrielle and Thresh was also a rare treat for me, as she was a wonderful person to RP with in her time here.

        Probably for that reason Sundren remains one of my favorite places to roleplay, having the mortality of my characters exposed, and having to overcome great adversity is something I roleplay for.

          All the nostalgia and I'm not sure where my CD keys are...

          I'll give you 4 one of which was as a DM

          Loading into the crossroads on Sebastian Rolb at some single digit level and running smack into an epic confrontation between a couple dwarves and Clive and watching his OP summoned undead whatever it was called fear them to death. Clive then coming up to Sebastian and letting him live in order to spread fear by the telling of said event. Having done absolutely no RP outside of whatever single digit level Seb was at the time, I was experiencing such an emotional high from it that my teeth were chattering.

          The 2nd one would be the first time i ever saw Clive 'die'. Although I couldn't really see anything since there were quite a few people hitting him with things at the time as most of the server went to the citadel to rescue a Sunite priestess who's name escapes me.

          I remember Saulus trying to kill Tigen with about 100 or so Zombie Ghouls and running to the side to avoid having some of the horde come down on me...right into Saulus' NPC and 2 very soon to be vampires...and then watching the rest of the event from my roommate's monitor as Seb got resurrected as a zombie.

          The event as a DM was one I was just watched the majority of it. The final time Tigen died in an even't so no-one else had to. This sticks with me more for the after effect of almost making Lashvi cry after everyone else left.

          Also...not getting XP from Saulus events :P

            Exeunt Sinister

            I'm pretty sure no one remembers me or the fairly insignificant character I played for several months on the server. That's not to say that I didn't have fun or found the experience less than satisfying. I'm just a reserved sort of person so I tend to have fewer interactions.

            So, enough of the heart wrenching. I played this skinny girl named Eahmii Di Gulla who went by the nickname of Mimi. She puttered about rather innocuously with another character named Treena learning some magic and becoming a bit more powerful as time went on. All rather bland and 'ho-hum' stuff. All until she met Dante Swift.

            For some 'God-knows-why!!!' reason, Dante saw some potential in this waif thin girl and decided against all good reason that he should take her under his wing and teach the little thing some manners, some spells and mostly the 'way of things'. Perhaps he found her quiet demeanor charming. But that's not what eventually transpired...of course. Mimi had a voice, and an opinion. And being young, which means she was still just in the last of her teen years, she thought she knew everything that needed to be known and no one, including Dante, would tell her otherwise.

            Now Treena, being Mimi's friend and faithful (read 'level-headed' and calm) companion was ever the one to counsel a thoughtful and patient approach. Sadly, Mimi found that with Dante being much of the same opinion and that they both then appeared to have sided against her, she became more and more recalcitrant and surly. Poor girl!

            All of this came to a rather sudden and volatile end. The political situation had forced Mimi and Treena from the city. Dante intervened and Mimi was granted somewhat restricted access; but not Treena. Mimi argued, she yelled, she said some things that were very hurtful to Dante, not to mention poking Treena in the eye. (LOL). Even though she was a brat, and by that time a very powerful brat, she realized at the end what she had said but couldn't say the words to apologize.

            She was a child who had learned a very painful lesson. She lost two friends who she loved. She ran away. She ran from the town. (She ran from the server.)

            Now with a new beginning, I was thinking about ....well, you know.

              You know, I can't think of many encounters or RP sessions that I didn't enjoy. There were a ton of silly ones when Chime was new to the Legion and poor Bram and Brendig got stuck training her. There were a lot of shanagin's with those two and the legion crew back then. The dreaded toe and pike incident, misfired crossbow, the fire staff, all the magic lessons.... All of it fun RP. Michael was also great fun too. There was the mud debacle, all the gems, the surprise meeting with the axis of evil incident.

              Later on there were the verbal battles with team evil. Diplomacy was hard to RP for a number of reasons but everyone was always enjoyable to RP with in the Black Hand: Lando, Allan, Hashart, Dante, Alex, and everyone else I am not mentioning. They were all great. I think the picture incident with Hashart, and all the RP trying to sway Dante to Chime's point of view stand out the most. Meeting Clive for the first time and putting Selas in jail was fun too.



              Of course I can't forget the Aquor crowd; River, Sandro, Andrew, Dalian,Tyranus, Jacobo and Kyle. Each character pretty much brought Aquor to life. I can't really stop saying how amazing the RP on Sundren has been. It was a real treat for Chime to be hassle by Kyle, comforted by Dalian, put upon by Tyranus, forced to be open about herself with River, amused by Jacobo, and challenged by Andrew.

              I know there are tons more people I RPed with. All of them wonderful and a blast RP with. Seriously, the players here have been great and if I did not mention you I'm sorry! There are so many people that make Sundren great. Hopefully I will get the chance to RP with everyone again and see the stories of new and exciting characters unfold.

                I've accumulated a lot of pleasant (and some not-so-pleasant) memories from this server over the years. Clearly, many of them have been on James (being my main for the past . . what, 3 years? Good grief.

                He was designed as a means to an end, and from his origins as a traveling anthropologist I made to get a friend interested in the server, he simply expanded beyond his scope to become a conduit for a magical millionaire who consumed all my playtime.

                But those are recent history.

                My fondest memories of the server tie back to:
                a pyromaniacal druid who acquired a bounty for practicing his religion (on the side of a farmer's barn);
                a mute desert-tribesman who ventured with a paladin and a moon-lover into the Mossdale and fought with archmagi for his prize (and lost);
                but by far, and most fondly remembered, were the adventures of a group of silk-masked shadows, mundane save for a few prayers and a devil. Between Rose Thimblefoot, Kirk Carshby, Talon Fensbane, Alyrian Eldeas, Sylas Dresend, and others lost to history, I had a blast with our scoundreling adventures. From stealing form (and exploding) the Exigo Factory (Chione's golem armor had to come from somewhere, even if we later swore about it) and evacuating the Under Aquor caves to the safety of the City by boat, to paroling the sewers and city for unregistered 'professionals' (back when they were the Sewers) and running Team-Rogue assaults on Veritas Mountain, I've had innumerable anecdotes from the Black-Tax that are going to be hard to surpass. There is just something awesome about four rogues phasing in and out of sight on their way up a trap-laden mountain, dropping most mobs in under a round, and forming a flanking-star capable of some ungodly number of d6 per round on anything that survived. Heck, three of us survived for the finale with the balors during the Battle for Sundren (I took down a bunch (^_^), even if we never got official recognition for it, the damned political muppets (<_<))

                Much as I've doted on Exigo these past few years, the Black-Tax has always been the crew I've intended to return to eventually.
                (Helps that they actually have 'a crew', instead of 'a lone wonky archmage of economics')

                And, while I never played a character in the faction, the awesome collaboration from the Black Hand over the years: tackle-hugging a particular vampire and getting a plushy 'signed', all the countless dead-drop and back-alley dealings, unstated agreements with numerous characters, that sorta thing; really kept my little portion of the server dynamic, interesting, and alluring enough to return to time and again, even if they never outright tried to kill me.

                Not to say that the current players are lesser for it, but I don't need to reminisce about the person metaphorically in the same room. Even if it does include funny little events like my arcane archer's repeated clashes with a low-level Hashart; those were fun. No reason to share all of them. :-D

                  I have so many great memories it is hard to isolate one or two RP interactions. I have a few bad memories too and unfortunately they are easier to recall. Here goes...

                  The character I am most proud of is Cesar del Sol. It took me 26 server days to reach 20th level. I couldn't wait to log into Sundren and play Cesar. He was a Sacred Fist that fell and then redeem himself. I deleted him more than once only to have the kind staff allow me to bring him back. I deleted him twice because I got too emotionally attached. I attribute that to him being my favorite character and the one I invested the most time in.

                  The character I felt honored to play was Magnus. He was a forth generation vampire. I worked hard on his back story and made sure he played his obligation to his elders even when it hurt.

                  The character that enabled me to feel most connected to the server given my Central Europe play schedule was Angus Ironforge. I really liked crafting with him. I think crafting with him turned out to be my most rewarding RP. Angus was prepared to help anyone. Personally, I know how nice it is to have other characters help you reach a critical milestone with your character, e.g. making the nice armor or getting a custom weapon made.

                  I did not participate in many RP events in the last 7 years. I can think of five for sure... The most spontaneous was with ACORN. He pulled a handful of us on journey that ended up with an epic battle while at sea. Angus was 9th level and he survived the event. I was really proud of his defensive prowess. The most complex event was with DOUBT. His events were less about fighting and more about solving analytical hard problems that always had consequences. Finally, I remember playing on Christmas day with maybe five people on the server. I really liked how PnP the atmosphere felt given the small numbers. RogueThree and Grinning Death came into game and ran a great event for me, Mournas, PK, and I believe JHickey. It was a series of epic battles up Cold Climb that we all felt lucky to survive. No sooner we got a little cocky, we got someone killed and it was coal in our stockings that Christmas.

                  I've enjoyed my time on this server and I appreciated the time and investment others have made here to make this a great place to play.
                  Cheers!

                    Did I run that event? I somehow remember doing a black tax event in an exigo factory, but I didn't think it was for the Golem armor, I might be mixing memories.



                    Also; yes, much kudos is owed to those brave souls who dared to play evil characters. (I've always had trouble doing evil properly) Another memory that jogged was when I first made Anasath, she was tracked down by them, beaten, then dragged up north. OOCly I was like "... Welp... This was a fast perm." but then it turned out to be some super cool stuff where they tried to make Anasath do something evil using a servant girl... fun times.

                      I have to admit, this is a tough one for me. I've had a lot of characters, some of which were actually almost able to touch the edges of being important. I think I'll just kind of list off the major ones and my favorite story or feature about them that endeared them to me.

                      Torgar Stoutleaf: Now, this guy was my first character ever on NWN2. I had picked the game up to play with a friend of mine who was playing on the server, and who immediately disappeared from it. Me and Talley made this team, of a human Sorcerer and this Dwarven Cleric of Silvanus, who was almost like his uncle in a weird way. But it was those antlers on a dwarven cleric that really always did it for me. People would always comment on them, and the other dwarves would just avoid me out of embarrasment, but I wore mundane antlers for almost a year and a half for no reason then I thought they looked right. And now he gives stat boosts to human's.

                      Quin Diams- Probably not many people will remember this guy. He was the last Doom guide the server had before Kelemvor fell, and was the one rallying all the kelemvorites to fight off the oncoming rise of Myrkul before...well, stuff happened and it didn't work. He was my human who was always in serious mode, and he was part of a lot of earlier vampire stuff around the time of Ruby and Isolde. He wasn't around as long as I would have liked with the fall of Kelemvor and all, but he really was a lot of fun.

                      Quintin Ulsteris- This guy is...was probably the closest to my own personality, and was the easiest to RP as to be honest. Always helpful, always loyal, always put the best interests of others before his own. On top of that, I got to play a Noble! Sort of. Kind of. I mean, I didn't really get to ever push anything on that side of things, but I did get to be involved in a bit of the back and forth between the other noble houses, so that was fun. Also, that golden hammer of his was freaking sweet. I made a Fighter who had 14's across the board, and eventually had a 20 charisma for no reason other than his leadership skills and personal magnetism, and he was still powerful enough to go toe to toe with some of the BH's best warriors. I will always be proud of him for that. Korvus and I had an amazing 1 on 1 fight and it was dead even, one of the most fun PVP's I've ever had.

                      Lagnar Thunderskull- This guy was actually made solely based on an old forum post from back in the day, stating that you could not make a viable barbarian without prestiging or multi-classing. So, I made this dwarven barbarian so I could take the DR feats we used to have, and they combined with the class's abilities to make a Barbarian that didn't suck. Also, he taught Julia how to headbutt people, a skill I got to occasionally see her use on people who pissed her off. I was so proud. He worked out better than I could have hoped, and I do miss him, but he did what he needed to do.

                      Tarkanik Tannin- I wanted to play a semi-crazy old man who was a necromancer, so I made this Sorc/Pale master who was...well, a semi-crazy old man. He wasn't BH or Sundrenite, and he actually worked for both on several occasions. He is, as far as I'm aware, the only spell caster outside of the hand's of mundus to obtain a license to practice necromancy, a normally arrestable offense. He was a one-trick pony, just pure necromancy all the time. But being a crazy, cranky old man who didn't pick sides was fun, and I had a lot of truely great RP with Redjack as Isabella, trying to convince her to attack Ruby and replace her for no reason other than Tarkanik didn't like Ruby. Good times every time I played him.

                      And finally, the big dog himself. Most of you know him, the entire staff hated him, Xaayne especially hated him.

                      Tigen Amastacia- This guy was originally intended to be part of the team of elves made in contrast to the team of drow that got created at the same time, so the server would get to see this non-political hatred of the elves going on. However, team elf eventually started playing less, but I really liked playing a spirit shaman, a class I had only ever heard of one other person playing. Eventually, I got involved with an elf called Das, and after that, things started going weird for him. He became the unofficial sheriff of the second wind, stopping fights and keeping things civil. And then there was the human monk he saved, Lilene Jora. Every time I thought a story was done with Tigen, I'd find a new one that drew me in deeper. From helping to fund dozens of newbie adventurers by buying crafting supplies, to teaming up with Dain Tornbrook to fight the forces of darkness, which is still the weirdest team-up in Sundren history. However, I will tell you my all time, personal favorite experience was the following:

                      Tigen would hear stories about a shadow-man in the mountains of Aquor, that would sneak up on people in the heat of battle and tip the scales back against them, and then steal away with some of their supplies. One day, this happened to his protege, Lilene. So, Tigen put on his big-boy pants and went up to the mountains to have a little chat with this "Shadow-man" everyone was afraid of. Tigen then proceeded to trounce the most feared man of the cartel. Tigen made a mortal enemy of the most feared man in the Cartel, part of the thieves guild on the server, and came out of it on top. No one before or since has ever done that. Now, he didn't eventually DIE to that guild in an....event that I frankly remember very differently from Dragor. I didn't like that event, it was...never mind, the point is, for almost three years, I was an independent contractor who got to be the "Robin" to Dain's "Batman" for quite a while, got to make dozens of mortal enemies, but always managed to keep doing his own thing and survive. I can't think of a single staff member who didn't absolutely hate Tigen's guts, thus how I earned his signature "Dying in events so you don't have to". I died in almost every event, and I proudly earned that.

                      Oh, and Tigen was a woman for about two weeks thanks to a cursed belt. That was pretty awesome. I wish I'd kept that belt....for reasons....*cough*
                      Tigen Amastacia: Died in events so you didn't have to.

                      Quintin Ulsteris: Nice-guy Legion engineer, deceased son of House Ulsteris.

                      Clandriel Cain: AKA "Fire-eyes" AKA "Demon hunter" AKA "OH MY GOD, WHY IS HE STILL STABBING ME!!??"

                        No, I think we remember it the same, the way Tigen died was pretty gamey and anticlimactic, just kind of a 'wow' moment for me seeing a char I had that much interaction with as a player go down, and the stuff afterwards with Lashvi made me tear up a bit.

                        Interesting note: I'm pretty sure I wound up being the one deleting the body...but don't hold me to that.

                          I guess I'll try to give my personal favorite moments although there have been so many and its truly been a pleasure to play here and help in some small way with Sundren History.

                          My first character here was Talon Fensbane. He was part of the Kurz Cartel. I played him as the quiet brooding sort of guy. He never talked much, mainly just followed Kirk Carshby and Kit's lead. He would smile at someone, offer pleasantries then shove a dagger in their back as soon as they turned around. I have had three main characters here on Sundren and Talon was probably the most ruthless.

                          Noric Lyonstongue, brother to Landristan Lyonstongue. He was part of the Black Hand. I played him to love his brother no matter what. Noric was a tank. He used that ability to protect Lando, even after Lando turned to a Vampire. Noric was involved in some way with the Day of Broken Blades, mainly through the forums. I played that end to Noric badly and I must say I got it all wrong. Noric was left broken mentally, blaming his brother for it all.

                          Of course many of you will realize that Dante Swift was my main and my personal favorite. Dante started out in the Legion, falling hopelessly for Emilliana only to be spurned by her. I had a lot of great roleplay with Foogoo, she was a class act. Dante then learned of the "problems" within the legion. He thought the legion was corrupt after the raising of Sundren City. Various DM events and RP with other characters led him to find that was a fact. In a weird crazy turn of events Dante ended up in the Black Hand, he felt they were the only force in the Valley to combat the Legion. In his own conflicted thoughts he felt that if Sundren City was brought back to earth then the plight of the citizens of the Valley, whom he dearly loved and had sworn to protect as a Left Hand of Mundus would magically end.

                          Eahmil Gi Vulla, Dante's apprentice. So full of wonder and so completely timid. Dante was very proud of her and her accomplishments. Her fall from grace (in Dante's eyes) was very painful for me as a player. I know it was all about RP but I think Sunset played Mimi into a corner from which there was no escape. Great player.

                          James Frazer was absolutely brilliant. He used Dante and Yevelian the Grey to be released from the Hands of Mundus, and when the Left helped the Black Hand it was Dante that received the blame. I'm pretty sure James was behind it but it was played perfectly on James' part.

                          Lando and Allan, the two Vampires I dealt with the most as Dante were great Rp'ers too.
                          They both somehow came to trust Dante even though had a deep secret hatred for Vampires, he viewed them as tools. Of all the Vampires, Allan was the only one Dante would work with without some type of reservations.


                          Yevelian the Grey, Dante's teacher and friend. Yev was from the Right and Dante eventually became a Left Hand. Their relationship was troubled and soon became a rivalry as Dante's power equaled and possibly surpassed Yev's. Rp with Foogoo helped fuel this fire. No player to blame just good RP.

                          River Swift. What can I say? River was great, she was instrumental in getting Dante into the political arena that Aquor would become. Dante met River at a secret meeting between her and Landristin. River was a bit hostile towards Dante, calling him a tool of Sundren after the Day of Broken Blades when Dante was in the BH. The only thing that saved Dante was River's complete hatred for Lando. lol Dante and River would eventually form a short lived love affair. River also introduced Dante to Chime Mynick. This would lead to a deep bit of RP with Chime, River, James Frazer and members of the legion all on the powers of Sundrite and the Sundrite reactors.


                          Alexandra Nezerscape. Dante learned more about her that he probably should have. Of all the people in the BH she appeared to be the most subdued. Oh no, Alex was THE most cruel and lethal member of the BH. She would play Alex in certain DM events and do things that would make the rest of us players in the BH cringe. Great player. Dante was instrumental in her becoming a Marshal in the BH and Dante's equal. Given more time their relationship may have become more than just allies in the BH

                          Mannea Strongarm. Dante released her from a Sundren jail, attempted to remove a devils mark from her. Mannea probably the most self conflicted toon he met. Very well played. I never knew what to expect from her next!

                          Hashart Datton. The only toon on the server that could intimidate Dante. JHickey could use that guy to get in your head and completely freak me out. He was a great leader. I had lots of long talks with Joe late at nights on the server and feel we got to be fairly good friends. What amazes me is how he could play someone so utterly evil as Datton and be what I consider the exact opposite himself as a player. I learned a lot from him.

                          Fuzzie Bunny; Chime Mynick was very special to Dante and to me as a player. As I said I had a lot of RP but she was the one that really made me earn it. Chime and Dante always on the opposite side of the coin, yet both being completely respectful of each other. Our RP would cover every emotion out there. Chime doing her best to lure Dante to her side and Dante doing his best to make her believe she was doing just that. It was a roller coaster of play. During our RP she would say something and I'd counter it.. there would be a pause on her end for a few minutes and I'd be thinking, yeah I've got you now. She'd always find some way to squirm out of the traps Dante would set. Our long sessions of RP on matters of the heart and soul are some of my best memories. Dante and Chime were on their way to becoming very close.

                          I love all you guys, I know I concentrated mostly on the players this post and my next one will be on the staff. I'm really looking forward to the launch of the new Sundren and I can't wait to forge new relationships with old friends I've made here.

                          You guys absolutely ROCK!

                            I suppose I will chime into this conversation.

                            I have so many memories of this server. The largest one was learning how to RP. When I first arrived on Sundren, I had no clue what I was doing. There were many people that I learned from such as Bloody, GD, R3, Dregor, and Torgar. There were many others so please do not feel offended because I can not remember some of the names of the past. The truth is that there are few interactions that I didn't enjoy, and I hope that most of you enjoyed your interactions with me.

                            Hashart Datton: He was by far one of my favorites. I loved his role at every level, from grunt to false profit. I think that Datton allowed me to play a role that I could never actually pull of in real life. I can't even begin to count all of the fun I had in RP with so many of you, and how those interactions shaped what Datton did/will end at.

                            Events: I can not thank all the DM's, players involved and player/DM's that made this place so good and making me want more. You guys have never been anything but fair, and always made getting something done a challenge. I can say for every 5 plots I had going maybe only 1 would succeed. I promise it was never easy. But all those involved played a role, sometimes they had no idea , never the less I could not give you guys/gals enough thanks.

                            Favorite PCs I interacted with: Clive, Dain (Although they seemed to brief), Adeo, James Frazer, Ruby, Chime, Dante, Allen, Alexandra Nez, Magnus, Daniel Nobody, Tigen, Varsick Gyz, and Korvus Tehk.

                            I can't wait to see what the future holds!

                              These two threads can pretty much explain my favorite times on the server.

                              Beyond that, the best times I've had in the game has been with the group that got me into it in the first place: Blakeman, dave, zypher and arentrel. Getting my uncle Jarlexel into it. KYLEEEEEE!. Then Star, vlad, lich, sparky, kit, cymbr, moth, kusco, ramza and all the others im surly forgetting.

                              Its been a blast playing the greatest hero in the valley and the conj red wiz. I'm sad to see them off though but I can't wait to see what the staff has in store for all of us. I'm very excited to see what happens january! See everyone there!
