My name is Gwar, and I used to be an addict. There was a good 4 or 5 year period where I was in the game nonstop, and a constant presence in the IRC chat.
I started at the tail end of the first Beta, I didn’t do much. Beta 2 I did my own thing, made a name for myself, got caught up in some drafting before it was technically legal. I fought in the Confederation Wars with the Potatoes of Doom, lead the Newbies on several conquests, I fought with and against legends and heroes. I rode a tank, held a general’s rank. When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.
Pie my old friend, its great to see that you are keeping the lights on and the old girl running. Honestly, I haven’t thought about IC in years and when I typed the URL into the search bar, I wasn’t sure what I’d find … or what I was looking for. I don’t know if I’ll play, I don’t even know if I’ll log in again. However, I am happy you’re here.
Damn dude, super old school! Very glad to hear from ya.
Funny enough, I recently came across files for a guest article you wrote called “Alcoholism for Dummies” for my old website from like 2003 haha. Those were the days.
Anyway, you gotta swing by Discord man, I’m sure other oldbies there would love to hear from you too. Don’t sweat lurking as a non-player, we have a handful of peeps doing just that and just sticking around for the chatter. We don’t have a Took bot to demand sandwiches from, but it’s still a good time.
That said, now’s actually a great time to come back if you do decide to play, as we make progress on the game’s rewrite, and MW is also about to start a new round within the next week.
Regardless, it’s great to see ya! Thanks for saying hi, and I hope you check out Discord chat.
Old buddy, Old Friend… Used to think that was sort of a cliché sort of thing to say… but then, wow, read your little hello here, and with endearment, I think… wow, old buddy, old friend!
Hope life has been kind. Glad to see your still around and kicking. Still remember our old Confed Dragon war… was a golden age back then.
Glad ILP kept the lights on too… (thx pie! luv u 2)
