So,

This morning, my 4 year old daughter was playing with Groundskeeperr the Bear, a paddington bear GK generously sent so many years ago when she was born, and I started wondering how the old crew members were doing.

Fun to see Kahlann and GK still haunt this board (where did this board go and come back from?). Hope all's well with my old guildies and the rest of you.

I take it Warhammer has peaked. What's it like?

Online games aren't my bag anymore. The social side was fun, but holy crap did it take a lot time. I am embarrassed, how much Daoc mattered and how seriously I took it (and sorry for when I was a kranky wanker).

About 3 years ago I took that energy and went outdoors, learning to hang glide (and dropping about 40 pounds recently). Try it sometime, it's even more fun than that hang gliding bit in WoW.

Here are some vids.

Drop a line sometime at abc3@johnwright.com... hope Kahlann's kids are doing well, GK's on top of Manhattan like King Kong, Demo's got a good job rollin, Xelf is in a groove, et. al. & etc.

Hey dude! You had the DAoC license plate, right? wink

It's amazing to me after all these years that people still show up to say hello to a community they once enjoyed so much. That's a pretty strong bond no matter how you cut it.

Hi there KK. The last time you were on this board you were just getting started with the hang gliding. Glad to hear it has not killed you yet!

PS: Chooch, were you the one that ran KK off?

good memory, thanks. I figure the people are the only justification for the significant chunk of my life the game took (oof).

Yea, still got the plates and the car.

Chooch is cool, it was a mid troll, literally and figurative, whose name I've suppressed, that gave me crap the last time I was here... too touchy I am.

Hiya Knumb

Hope you peak back - I see you posted a while ago. I don't travel here very often, sorry my late reply.

Your daughter is 4 wow! Well I am fine, all things considered. My twins are now 16 and have their learner's permit. The driving thing, and fighting over who's turn it is to drive is giving me grey hairs. I dabble in facebook games and a "free" browser game called evony. Can't put the time in a regular mmorpg, and nothing will ever be as fun as my time with Tower of Avalon- I do miss you guys. GK, and Mythious and I are on facebook so if you have one seek us out.

Glad to hear you are doing so well. Take care!

My gaming time has come to nearly a halt, just too much to do with too little time to do it in. Either that, or my priorities have changed. Likely both.

It's astounding to realize your daughter's four now, crazy how the time flies isn't it?

Like Kahlann, I've been trolling the Facebook, though not doing the games. Play a smattering of WoW, and been playing Dragon Age when time permits (which it often doesn't).
