Hello there! Yours truly is a blast from the past. I wss in SR back in the old days when Gaap was leader. Had a shit-tonne of fun raiding & gearing out my main. My toon’s name was Skurje.
If I recall correctly, we were on Permafrost server in EQ2 when I parted ways with SR. My ingame friendship with a gal in the guild turned into a RL fling. It eventually didn’t work out (which is usually how these things go), & I quit SR without much of an explanation. It was awkward & uncomfortable, & my departure with no reason upset everyone at the time.
Always felt bad about that ~ SR had become my gaming family but when you mix your gaming with affairs of the heart, everyone goes full fucktard sooner or later (as did I).
I got on with another raiding guild for a time but always felt heartache when I’d see my ex-fam from SR zooming through whichever zone we were hitting. I had such great memories & I don’t think you can ever have that same level of fierce devotion & loyalty to one another anywhere else like we had in SR.
Eventually, I got over my horrifying MMO addiction & quit gaming altogether. Had to make bank & pay bills, & camping mobs or random-spawn doodads for 3 sleepless days & nights that trigger quests for supersexy must-have gear had to become a happy memory. Weirdly enough, Sony gave me a lifetime ban after I made an ill-fated decision to return. I’d bought a new gaming computer & some fancy state-of-the-art $750 graphics card which was brand-spanking new, & apparently the driver didn’t jive with the game’s platform. I was banned & accused of somehow hacking the server so my toon could move faster than the game allowed (or some such thing). I honestly never quite understood what I supposedly was accused of having done & Sony’s customer service people were total asshats who wouldn’t explain it to me or let me appeal the ban. TBH I needed the bridge back to EQ burnt, otherwise I’d have slipped back into the addiction again LOL! But I did miss all my friends & was sad to never say proper goodbyes to my old SR fam.
Seeing Silent Redemption lives on makes me happy! From on old school SR member from days past, I wish you all great success, phat lootz, & buttloads of fuck-all fun makin sexy-sex talk with hawt toons!
Carry on.
Skurje
