seriously,

I dont know what brought me back to this game after a 14.5 year hiatus, but it calls me once in awhile.
Every so often, we get a geezer come back, hell, some of you stayed all this time. Back in the 90s, this place was a bustling epicenter of friends, enemies, frienimies, and lovers. It was peace, war, and netting. It was meet ups, greet ups, and beat ups.
We came into our clans as newbs, and stayed with the ones we loved, and built life long friendships, that sadly, were burnt to a crisp during the 2016 election and COVID 19....but we built them all the same and they were wonderful.

I miss the politics, the wars, the IRC runs, the late night chatting on ICQ. I miss it all. And suddenly, being back a couple weeks, it still has that same kinda happy tingle....all of the new years the have come and gone, this one feels a little extra special...just to feel that little Earth tingle again....
You guys are great. May you all have a WONDERFUL 2024.

Anyway, I appreciate all of you still playing this game and keeping it alive. I salute you.

May 2023 put to rest division, and 2024 bring us all some peace with who we are...and may you all, have a wonderful, safe, and hopefully, a very naked New years Eve.

with love,
Empyrean
