I never really became a part of the game but more the community through the years, these days I spend most of my energy on IRC and only lurk here as you can see
... the secret garden was only a green place void of flowers the first time you visited it
... you picked mushrooms in the forest
... Kada-El wasn't even constructed when you first entered the game
... if you experienced Karyuu and Cherppow still being active and lively visual inspirations within the community
... you knelt to the Queen of fools on "her" coronation, before he joined the dev team
... you knew Peacer, Seperot and Kixie on the forums and Torzigg, lammas and Sovcat on IRC, among a few.
