Stopping in to say Hallo'dare.

Hi everyone, VERY long time no see.
I was just going about doing my normal stuff online as always,... and once again my thoughts returned back to my old friends in MLF. Funny how that happens isn't it. People who never played would never understand.
Though I have been out of EQ1 for jeez,... around what,... 5 or 6 years now I think? I still oftentimes think back with very very happy memories of my time spent in game, and of all of my FRIENDS from the guild, alot of which I'm sure are long gone, and the majority of people now will have absolutely no idea who "the chitz" was.
For those of you that are still playing, I just wanted to let you know that even years after you stop, you never forget the friends you made in-game, and you never forget the adventures that you had. I still remember how amazingly proud I STILL feel, about when we were first able to get around trugwa and his guild cockblocking us at ssra, and we finally,... finally killed the emperor. The ssra emp. sounds like such a tiny little mob now that you guys could probably solo with one group,.... but I will never forget how proud I was of that moment,... how much I still cherish all of the memories of running through halls of testing with everyone, still trying to get those armor drops. Helping everyone with the ring wars,... and that gd loyalists shield of honor! heh.
Years have passed,.. and I still remember so many of my in-game experiences like they happened a few weeks or months ago. I really did care about everyone in the guild. And I still really do have a special place in my heart where I care about them still. Even onefop and feemee You guys were the best arch nemesi that a guy could ever have heh.
Even if I am not in game with you guys, I have never forgotten you all, and I mean that,... everyone who was in the guild when I was, I still literally can remember what your guys toons looked like even, and who were the people you always knew you could count on for help.
I tried eq2 for about 3 years off and on, and I did like that there was alot more focus on questing rather than PL'ing, and you could solo through most of the game so you could go at your own pace and still get just as much exp from questing as you would from grouping for the most part. But,... it just wasn't the same.
Am currently on city of heroes, and spend 99% of my time soloing there. It's hard to find a group, but I can log in and play that for a half hour or an hour here and there and log off without leaving a group up sheit creek, so it's a tradeoff.
I got married to someone far outta my league 2 and a half years ago. Thankfully she hasn't realized it yet. heh.
And most everything else is starting to fall in place for me it's seeming. I started my own little company (1 man at the moment) but things are starting to look up . I got into paintball about a year and a half ago,... and hated the "speedball" aspect, but fell in love with the scenario/milsim style of play. One day I just had an idea out of nowhere of how to try and make something for my paintbal gun, and it worked,.. then another thing, then another thing,... and I figured that everyone on the paintbal forums liked my stuff, so why not get a business loan?
So,

So that's what I'm doing right now Kinda wierd,.... but like they say, try to find something you love, and figure out how to do it for a living heh.
It's great to get to leave a message for you guys, and say hi to my old friends. And I'm not saying that as a cliche, you guys ARE my friends. Every single one of you that are still here from when I was in,... you guys are my friends, and I miss hangin out with you all.
And I'm glad you guys never stopped kicking butt and taking names.
I'm going to stop in here every now and then and actually respond to any posts in here unlike most "just stopping by to say hi" threads. So if anyone wants to just chat some random stuff, go ahead and post and I'll respond
Sincerely,
Chitz
And one more thing,.... feemee and onefop,... up'jur hoobajoobs ju lil midgit sunsabishes.
