Hey guys 
Okay I am sitting here trying to think of a good start to this thread, but my excitement and also my nervousness is preventing me from thinking of a good opening line, so I will just be me the same old me, will speak from the heart.
You consider many many things in life, and take many paths to explore. I have learned a lot in these past 4 months. I cannot believe this time 4 months ago I left a world which I immersed myself in for 4 3/4 years (since beta), and recently went through a major shift in my personal life (I split up with my ex after 10 years).
Things in my life are going great at the moment, new life, new social life, new flat (bachelor pad)… which I have never stayed alone in my life so this is strange but exciting.
However recently I have been feeling that there is something missing in my life, something that I miss more then a good cup of tea. It is my cyberlife. Not many people will know this, but everyone I ever met on line I considered a friend, some more then others but none the less you were all very close to me.
Albion is a glorious place, I am so glad that when I choose my path in DAoC, it was the path of the wise Albion. I can honestly say with my hand on my heart I have nothing but love and admiration for you lot, you have made my laugh, made me cry and by god at times made me stamp my keyboard as I type But through all the good and bad times Albion has been a large part of my life, one I miss dearly.
I cannot tell you how long I have considered coming back, I am not missing the game as much, however one thing I really miss is my social life in game. You were always very kind to me, and when ever I needed assistance, were there for me.
However the same thought of “can I handle the game now a new expansion is out?”, not a lot of people know but, I used to play in only a phrase would call “overkill”. Get up at 8am goto work till 5pm, Play from 6pm to 1am then craft from 1am to 4am, bed then up at 8am. As you can imagine this destroyed my life outside of the game and also things personally for me.
But, I have had the internet connected to my house for over 3 weeks, and till today I have not even unpacked my PC, everything was left in the spare room as it was when I moved in, and sitting on my sofa last night watching the Golf Masters, I decided that although yes I was silly in the past with my hours in game, I have new priorities in life now, and the game could never replace them, I have more strength and more esteem to leave the game for a week if I feel like it. I have lost my addiction (I know longer feel I have to get this, have to do that, must get that etc etc). I know that I could safely return and fear no evil lol.
So today marks another new challenge in my life, I cleared out the spare room, set up my PC, connected my internet, upgraded all my software Catacombs included, then popped over to DAoC home page and Re-opened my main account.
I have only 1 PC at the moment, so I did not want to open all my accounts, just my main, I want to see if things have changed a lot? Considering buying DR.
What is DR like reading the forums it looks like it has become a must? If it has, I hope I can call in a few favours to get me Championed up hehe!
Finally guys, I want to thank all of you who emailed me, pm’d me, and even called me to pass on your support over these few months, I can honestly say you have aided my healing and made me a better person, I thank you <hug>
I hope to see you all in game soon, until then friends,
Take care,
Talsar.
