Hello everyone, hope you are all well. I have found myself in what I consider to be an alien situation. This is because, for the first time in a while, I have somehow found the time to make quite a long post! I thought I'd just see how everyone is doing and keep people updated on what I'm up to nowadays - I hope others can do the same 
.
Where to begin? Well, I've been rereading some of the old threads on this page and it brought back so many happy memories. It was especially nice to read my thread about being the first Master Enforcer character in Europe. I can't believe how excited and proud I was of myself - although I must admit I was a bit too proud.
We had some fantastic times in Thidranki, didn't we? My memory fails me nowadays but there are particular battles that still bring a smile to my face: Killing the Alb zerg during the days of <Clueless>, getting killed by the Hibs in the days of <Clueless>, camping the bridges with the <Tomte Soldiers> crew. Of course, a large period of my time in Thidranki is characterised by my obsession with titles and the achievement of my personal goals. First came MS on the Cabalist, then MS on the Bonedancer, then MS on the Healer, then BE on the Bonedancer and then, my last notable achievement, 25,000 kills on my Eldritch.
How is everyone? What are you all doing? Are you still playing DAoC? I have been off DAoC for about 6 months now, which actually feels like forever. I can't believe I havn't played for so long, I don't know how I've managed it. Well, actually, I do. I've got a great social life now (I am going out everyday) which is unfortunatly cut short because I have huge work commitments, which I don't mind because this is leading to something great for me. I came very close to going to the USA servers about 2 months ago. I installed everything up to Catacombs and subscribed for 1 month + the 14 day free trial. However, there were technical problems (which I could not be bothered to solve) and this prevented me from playing. Perhaps it was fate, haha. I think my PC was trying to tell me something - forget about DAoC.
It is difficult to forget about DAoC, because I had such happy memories from it albeit my social life did suffer a bit from it. Luckily, on the academic side of things, I did not suffer as much and in fact I overshot my expectations which opened many doors for me.
Have I considered returning? Definatly. I know I won't, but I definately consider it and it is very appealing to me. To be able to run past AB/MB/HB again and once more breach the walls of Thidranki Faste is a tantilising prospect. I wonder whether I should return to the German servers, where I still have a very large number of friends and connections there. I made some very, very good friends there and I miss them all very much. However, I hear Thidranki there is dying and as much as I want to renew and check it out, I fear it may be another £8 wasted.
Now, we move on to the US servers - I've heard brilliant things about the USA. As I mentioned, I was very close to moving there and now that they are all being put into the supercluster Ywain it has left a fresh thought in my mind. I heard the Thidranki action is amazing there, although it will never match the ferocious and intense competition of the German servers. I made some extremely bitter rivals there, even worse so than here, if that is at all possible hehe.
Of course, returning to Dyvet is not an option. To here that the highest number of people on at a time is in the single-figures ... well, I don't know about you but that upsets me. Remember how fun it used to be? Ah well, all good things have to come to an end. I got the feeling we had a really good community going there.
This brings me on to my next point. You see, I have a mental list of atleast 50 people in my head that I want to catch up on. Of course, I cannot recite that now because I will forget people. However, if you ever thought that you knew me please, please get in contact, that would be fantastic. Hey, even if you are an old enemy, get in contact, I want to talk to as many of you as possible - it has been too long.
If you've read this far, well done, perhaps it is naive and arrogant of me to think that anyone cares what I get up to, but nevermind.
Well, I am so busy that I could, and perhaps should, be persuing work at the moment but I have to have some time off, eh? I thought this thread would be a good oppertunity of others to post what they are up to and how their life is going at the moment - considering the Thidranki community here was such a close-knit community I feel it would be a great way of having some good old banter and rekindling some old friendships. You don't have to write a life story like me)) but it would be nice to hear from some of the oldies.
Ok, that's me done for tonight. If you want to get in contact just PM me. Take care all.
