The Good Old Days

[AendarCallenlasse]

With the re-opening of my guild I got a little nostalgic and I went back through old posts and I realized just how much things have changed around here.  Way back when Kada and Alucard were around all the time.  And back when the mods were here all the time and mingling with the common folk.  I really miss those times.  I did a search for Elven Order and read through posts from over two years ago and it\'s amazing how much fun we used to have back then.  any other of you oldies (As in like two years old) remember those times?

[Davis]

Well, what\'s wrong with now? You don\'t like the people, or you just can\'t relate to the people?

[AendarCallenlasse]

Hmm it\'s not that.  I think that before there weren\'t as many people so we had a lot more fun.  Everyone knew each other and all.  And I think a lot of the older people have left...well pretty much all of the older people have left...thanks to the decline of the state of the forums and all these knew people...and all the spam around now.  We just had more fun back then.  Not that everyone around now is intolerable.  There are still some people here that are worth my time, you being one of them.

[Kada-El]

Ah the good old days, when you were a noble elf striving for what is right in the world It\'s almost a distant hazy memory that I can hardly recall, so I did the same search and it brings the good times flooding back

I do miss them and the people who were around back then, we did have so much fun and they were very exciting times with a very, very close knit small community. As the community grows I sometimes think it becomes harder to feel like a part of that community, but as with everything time moves on and things change, some things for the better and some for the worse.

I guess this could result in a few flames having a go about old timers clinging to the past, I suppose we do have to move on and accept that PS will continue to grow and the new players of today will be the old timers of tomorrow. But we will always have those memories of how things used to be and can be proud of the fact that we have stuck with the project for so long

[AendarCallenlasse]

Oh I don\'t mean to change the forums or critize those that are around today.  Just remembering the fun times we had.  Which reminds me...you need to get your forums back up.  Those were fun.

But yes, I have to accept that things have changed.  It was just fun to go back and read some of those old threads, actually made me laugh.

[Kiern]

Sure, it was cool, of course the main part was it being a small community and not having to deal with the annoying questions (only the ever present, when will it be out? ) also the devs hung around here more...it used to be rare a thread was deleted/locked, funny eh?

Anyways, even now it\'s a pretty small community, because all the sub-communitys (guilds, fansites, the \"game\", etc.) split it up since one isn\'t really better then the other...once it\'s further along the newer people now will be saying the same thing.

-=sigh=- We\'re getting old that\'s all.  Oh well, we had fun times.  Fun times that these young uns will never have.  :]

[Levski]

Well, Aendar..... Im a \'young un\', only been here for a couple of months, but Im still having fun... otherwise whats the point of being here?

My point being is that you guys can still have fun, with the new people.  Just don\'t forget that just because someone is relatively new, it doesnt mean their boring or annoying.

Btw, im extremely sry if this was meant to be a thread only for the older players.  If thats so then I wont post  here anymore.

[AendarCallenlasse]

No no, like I said not all of the new people here are annoying.  It\'s just that back then there were a lot less people so we all knew each other and we all had fun together.  Now there are so many people here that\'s it\'s harder to feel that way about the community.  I was just being nostalgic that\'s all.

Oh I remember them old days... Eternal arguing about Rune$cape, whether it was good or bad... which eventually got the word banned, and I don\'t recall the game has been thoroughly discussed on the boards ever since.

I remember Aender beeing the good-boy elf as well, I just can\'t remember why exactly he turned evil... Oh well, it happens to people who get too good, the alignment meter simply gets heavy in one side, and it flips over. Not that it bothers me, he isn\'t really THAT evil.

Levski - I think what Aender ment was that back in \"the old days\", we all knew eachother. We all knew what eachother liked, we all made fun of eachother and we all enjoyed visiting the boards, talking to eachother, but it\'s not like that any more. Sure it can be fun once in a while, seeing some dumb-nuts getting flamed to death, and never visiting the boards again, but... It\'s just not the same.

Edit: Beh, you reply too fast Aender!

[AendarCallenlasse]

Being good was so..boring.  you can have a lot more fun when your evil, you should try it sometime.  :]
Besides, nowadays...I\'m more neutral and I simply hate everyone...save a few.

[Annah]

Oh yea. The good old times. I miss Alucard ... I miss Nusham, Firestorm, Jewels, Golbez, Meket, Alina and a lot more ...
 But what\'s with you Aendar? I am really thinking the same, but things are changing, and we have to accept this and embrace the new members. I had my own times when I didn\'t do that ... don\'t pass through them, because you\'ll end up like me. Just a friendly advice.
 I was really speaking with Yann yesterday about how things were almost 2 years ago, when he, Grono, me, xolon and more where in BO ... heh ... what beautiful times. We were just some kids playing. I would do everything to change the time back.
 Ah ... and don\'t forget the time when I was the PR manager and I had op powers

[Kiva]

Who ever said I was good? Actually, I doubt any living creature on these boards truely know my alignment, not even if I\'m good or evil.

\"It is what\'s inside that counts.\"

Sheesh, Annah, you never had OP. Only Half-OP.

[AendarCallenlasse]

Annah- I know...I guess I just have to accept the fact that things have changed, but it doesn\'t mean I don\'t miss those times a lot.

Gron- Ok then...being openly evil is fun.  

[Kiern]

pfft, Grono your evil, whether or not that is your actual alignment

(all of you reply too fast...losers)
