Definitely improved my teenage years, sleep loss and late homework aside. So cool seeing Aradune on the Vanguard emulator, standing watch over the wilderness. Can't wait to see how Brad is immortalized in Terminus.

Was there ever confirmation he was born in 69? I saw some obituary sites that listed 68.

*taking queue from perceived "cool" people that know things about PC's and games from listening to chats and shouts, I shout about messed up glitches and boats trying also to be "cool" and make jibes at VI like them when out of the blue*
"Are you ok?"
*attitude changes to my normal self* -I cant get back to Odus, the boat keeps kicking me back to the docks.
"why dont you take the spires?"
- It's too far away, That zone is too high for me, I know i'll die along the way. Are you heading that way?
-*interrupts* I wont expect to group, ill just run near you
"no, we're heading to Highpass and we have a full group"
-/nod
- I understand. Well, Nice meeting you. Be safe! hey, is that the pally epic? but you're a ranger right?
"if you zone into WK run straight until you get to the fishing village, then turn left and follow the river north. you will reach the spires"
- I wont get attacked? there are lions there (I hadn't learned strafing yet as a trick for lions) are there guards? sometimes they dont help
"there is an outpost on the way to the fishing village. But dont stray far from the rivers edge"
- ok * a few minutes later as they are escorting me to Wk Zone line* -are you sure?
" yes"
-ok, thank you. How come I can't put you on friends?
- hello?
*begins run*
*makes it back to Toxx forest using spires and Nexus and shouts to no one in particular* I Made it! Thank you!
*hears nothing*
*checks in with merchants and guild trainer then kills some kobolds to toughen up some more*
Thank you Brad (and the others) for mastering what "mmorpg" truly was (and arguably is) in Old Everquest. One could only hope the magic to return here, but I don't think so when I see things like a branded level-number on the mob, an emphasis on 3rd person, plasticy graphics etc.
Thank you for the good times.
