Hail Isador.

Welcome back! Most of that time has been erased out of my memory. (At least until Albertus dug up all those trash! LOL! :P ;)) I heard you made it to Baron. That was quite well in that time. Most of the gamers were only busy with their own gaming goals, not interested in RolePlay like we did.

Now we have a great time in Guild Wars 2. We are getting amazed from one thing to another. Good events, good crafting system, great storyline, nice items, playable on a lot of computers (mid-end to high-end) and so on... even Blizzard has taken over some features in his new Panda expansion like the bronze/silver/gold medal system for events/dungeons. that is from Guild Wars 2 dev team. (who originated from Blizzard). I heard it at the live launch event on youtube.

The audio is great. you can even hear where what is taking place and I can orientate mainly on audio with a medium headphone. The loops in towns are a bit frustrating. When you are too long on the same place you will hear them and at one of the crafting stations there is a naughty irritating boy teasing a girl. If I could I would have teached that boy a lesson, but it doesnt help anyway. For that the game has rats, rabbits, chickens and the like. Yes, guild wars 2 is an improvement and Devona's Rest a nice server where people unknown to each other help each other out quite well. (one dynamic event was finished almost right after it started. I missed it, not having enough time to react and contribute, lol!). I spent most of the time crafting, than gathering than questing. (Oups, now I realise I should do it the other way around. LOL! That's how those guys level so fast!)

Crafting has no animation, but a bar being filled. (Luckily mass production has increased speed over time). Besides the standard magical equipment you can also make runes, upgrades, boxes for storing items, just like bags, and a lot more. Oh yes COOKING. Mix ingredients and see what it brings. I haven't tried it yet, but it might be fun.
The auction house is great... you can also buy and sell crafting materials. If demand is high enough you can also sell your end produts.

I hope you will find your way back to us.

Salutes,

Freedom

Hails,

After a week maintenance and major pc upgrade (FINALLY the videocard/graphics card: EVGA GTX680 4GB backplate) I am back. I hope I can still catch up with you all, but I slowly begin to lose hope after all those weeks getting behind/ My apologise for that. On the bright side, things will (slowly) improve since video and audio will improve and also my orientation. (finally audio on my 7.1 system instead of stereo headphones). I am curious and eager to game again. (still downloading at the writing of this post starting with 220.000+ files!) I saw about a new game update, but know nothing about it. Also the move from DirextX 10 to DirectX 11 and from stereo audio to 7.1 will be great!

In reply of Albertus' reply its Devona's REST. no problem, just to avoid confusion. Also ask Albertus in game for invite in Guild. Soon you will find out we all have .xxxx behind our account name which is a 4 digit number to be able to reach the right one amongst all the others with the same name. I have misplaced people for clan members while they were someone else. Try to find phoenixi and Dennizon. I typed it just the way they are known in game. (case sentitive). There are too many Freedoms on that server. ;) At least Albertus and Dennizon can invite you in, since they are Councillors and Phoenix/phoenixi and I are knights whcih I am not sure if we are allowed to invite people. Put the right names.xxxx on your friend lists and you will see who goes online or offline. It does not work on guild list or is not implemented yet.

See you soon on the battlefield!

For Victory!

Hail Immortals,

Well this was a suprise! I was going through some old web design data on my PC and in the old ROI websites I still have, notice some of the links were active again. Lo and behold, here it is.

Great to see some familiar faces here. A cheers to the good old days and some very fond memories.

Hail Farseer,

Yes I stumbled upon Phoenix last summer and I realised that we all deserve a little corner on the internet to at least say hi from time to time :)

Hope all is well old friend :)

Hail all,

Well it is absolutely amazing to see all these old, familiar names again. It's funny I still consider all of your dear friends after all these years. We really had something special in our clan to have maintained some form of contact up to now! Again, very nice to see everyone posting again.

When searching for a facebook "Public Chat NLD" group or other stuff related to our Diablo 2 adventures I ran in here by accident :)

Would anyone be interested in a more broader group? Just like Albertus ran into Phoenix randomly playing a game I ran into Aphrodite (doing a Wow dungeon) which was in a different clan back then IRC.
Would people be interested in a "Public Chat NLD" facebook group? Or should I start a seperate topic for that :)

It's awesome this url has been revived!

Hail Anotherhero,

I would certainly be interested in speaking to the people in of the Public Chat NLD chat again. For me, that time remains quite special as internet gaming was new and we all took it very seriously. I never encountered a community so involved in their gaming and roleplay on the internet again. :).
