How goes it guys?
« on: November 07, 2007, 11:19:38 PM »
Heck, I guess it's been a few years since I've flown. The addictions been  dead and long gone for years. There was a time in my life when saying that would be all but impossible. But I sometimes wonder how the games going, and I even more often wonder about the whereabouts of my old friends and foes in the game, especially my old assassins squaddies/buddies.

Any of the original pilots still here?

Hows the game coming? new maps? Did the realistic gameplay arena make it to fruition? Does drex still suck?
As for me life is trucking along. Different hobbies, same old obsession though. I think that goes w/ my personality.

Heya Hblair!  

I still remember you :).  Not to many on from when you used to play.  I actually just came back from a long break as well.  

Drex, Levi, Nath, they are all gone as far as I know.  I did see Lazs flying around my first day back last month.  Citabria/Fester is still around, although I haven't seen him flying this month.  No FDBs flying that I know of, nor any AKs that I know (although the squad is still around, just dont recognize the names).  I'm sure there are still some folks you know flying, but the game has changed quite a bit since I started (back when you were flying).  Pretty much no emphasis on A2A combat any more, "air combat" has pretty much gone the route of Fariz-type missions hitting undefended bases and trying to get a couple vulches before the suckers wise up.

The MA was broken up into 4 arenas (early, mid, and 2 late war) in an attempt to get rid of the anonimity (is that a word?) that was encouraging the land grab Horde Warrior type mentality.... it doesn't appear to have worked.  

It can still be fun though, as long as you don't take it too seriously.  

Hope you and yours are well.

EDIT - Regarding your old squaddies, the only one I think is still around is ManeTMP, flying under the handle BLukitty now.

Hey, Reb!  Stop back in, you'll still enjoy it.

Let's see....Shane's gone, although he occasionally pokes his head in here....same with Lev, who I suspect appears in shades now and again...Urchin just came back, as you can see....quite a few you'd still recognize, and who will recognize you.

Drex just mentioned in our squad forum that he will probably be dusting off the stick in a couple of months ... something about finishing contruction on a house.

Levi will be back soon, so he says. He has been in the middle of a move for months and said that his gear was all in boxes, but after settling in after the move ... he will be back up.

Nath got the perma-boot.


Good to hear from you hblair ... I miss all the assassins too.

On a side note I can "now" land easily on a high alt base np :rofl  hehe .

Hope someday to see you again playing , maybe when your children are all grown up ?
