I miss......
Posted: 08 Aug 2015 15:58
I miss the days when Genesis was hard.
When Armageddon visited us once a day making healers and tanks a viable and necessary class to play.
When we wandered around with one or two elite items... chosen by us as the most cherished that we would seek out immediately after the Storm.
I miss when people died for a brute adjustment instead of death recovery and when death actually hurt.
I miss the days where herbs didn't always save and had to be obtained every day.
I miss the days when in Calia you would most assuredly run into either Didelith, Maureenanne, Dameon, or Zip....
.... When Hektor and Anahita ruled the Spirit Circle justly and with wisdom.
I miss the days of Bildor (ever afraid of death) ran the Blue Dragonarmy with the fearsome four of Casbaar, Aiguchi, Zagar, and Diri backing the Priesthood... (honorable mention to Silsandor as well.)
I miss the times when one feared to enter the Holm because you did not know if Saya was awake and preying on it or if you would encounter Anfalas with his deadly knives.
I miss the days of the old mercenaries with their dogs, tabards, and the guard whom could be bribed to give you items from some other factions private racks.
I miss those times when Rangers roamed the land in green cloaks instead of as figures. Tad the dwarf, Zingil, Acionyx, Armitace and dare I even say Xar protecting from the likes of the Wraiths Navarre, Dauron, and Taurewen (May she Rest in Peace.)
I miss the true and just Knights when their was a full active council and the plains were fraught with danger.
I miss the kender... oh how I miss them and their wily ways. Nonot and Leia and all the rest whom were always there to give you a laugh or make you fume with anger.
I miss the original "Polish Mafia" (just kidding) but the old dwarves... Gandalug, Rhynox, Logg and Barin.
Remember when the original myth squad roamed the land? And the days of Mariuz, Dionysos, and Morrison. I miss those and them too.
I miss one of the best newbie helpers of all time before the newbie line existed.... Blond.
I miss wizdays and events.
I miss when there were secrets and you had to learn some things on your own.
I miss bouncing the yeti with kenders for 40 minutes.
I miss roleplay most of all.
I miss.... it all and its not coming back ever.
I've been back for a few days... because I feel nostalgic every once in a while for all of the above... And then I realize that the Genesis I fell in love with is far from the same place it used to be. It captivates me when I first return, but already in three days I can feel that interest waning... The more we've dumbed down and made the game easier the less exciting of a place it has become
