Well anyhow, have a good party Silirrion, the rest of FC and the brillient ARK's. Know what you mean about the changes over the years...some better than others but it still holds a unique feeling like no where else.
Ahh, the good ol' days. The fun of having fifty odd people trapped in a backyard in the later parts of beta. And on release when zoning would take 45mins, and everyone ran around with a pair of 3927a's as they were by far the best weapons
The hugely sad disaster of 12.6
Heck even the day when the zoning goofed up so badly from a mission someone *looks innocent* ended up on Parnassus (sp?)...scared the pants off the first ARK who noticed me as I wondered around lost hehe.
But such good times, the peace meetings, being assasinated at by Dusters while missioning, poked prodded and harrassed by Pol on so many occassions I can't count hehe. The ARKs make the game come alive and takes it from that same old gankfest it would be otherwise.
Even if we are outside the original storyline by a huge margin now, keep up the good work and heres to the next seven years.
