So let's have a change of tone and talk about something positive. What's the best memory/memories in your AL life so far? I don't care if you're an old player or just someone new in the game. What made you decide to keep playing the game and even go as far as checking the forums reading this thread right now? I'd love to hear them, and some people might as well.
For me the best part is around 36 cap when I started playing the game. I wasn't really into it, but sort of went along for anyways to kill time. I thought the game wasn't really that special. That as until I stumbled into a rogue now named Queendex. At the time, the AL community was very lively. As a noob, it wasn't uncommon for you to stumble upon another newbie in a map and you both end up talking to each other while trying to figure out how to kill the boss. That was exactly what happened with us, a friendship was made, I joined her guild, and when she left it, I went with her and we formed Eutopia. It was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me in an MMO. I hated the idea of creating a guild, I wanted to join Epitome of Silentkill (nods to all of you who still remember the guild), but at the same time, I couldn't force her to go with me and I couldn't leave her as well, so I put all my trust in her and just went along.
Along the way, I've met so many great people. We didn't even aim to get strong players, we preferred newbies who were lively, so we could help them and we could all grow together, build a family. During its run I've met so many friends that I still talk to even now. I've always been antisocial before, it got to the point where I just really embraced the fact that I was boring, so I could never really get along with people well on our first meeting. AL was my escape, because nobody knew me there, so I figured it was my chance to recreate myself. Before AL I would've never thought I would make so many friends for different parts of the world, friends that would make me want to login, even if I don't plan on doing anything, just to keep them company and have a good laugh. Its funny that I felt more like myself when I was in game than in real life, so eventually I've decided to approach people just like how I approach my friends in game, and now you'll probably have to kill me first before you can get me to stop talking.
I'm normally forgetful, really its terrible. I usually forget a lot of memories I was involved in that other people cherished, I'm sorry for that. But know that everytime I think about the best memories I've had in game, I always, ALWAYS try my best to remember every single detail of us holding guild events, forming lines each class to keep everyone organized, throwing jokes at each other while waiting for the next quiz question.
Eutopia, you were the best memory I've ever had in any game. To my in-game family that made it such an incredible experience for me, most of us have all separated ways now, but with those memories, you will hold a part of me, and I will hold a part of you.
