I started playing Earth (2025), as a snot nosed little punk, in 1998 or 1999. I think I played, or was involved in certain alliances (LaF and RD. maybe sof? My memories are warm if even a bit blurred) until 2004. I made many unlikely friends from all over the world and from all walks of life.

I seldom think back to those days but when I do i can remember fondly all of the great sets - the battles, the finishes, the irc chats!

From what I can recall - my main handle was simply "Vic", but I also played in RD as Mr Clear and at least two other names - does anyone remember? Some time before I became tired with the game, I had received mod. access at RD and I definitely had some fun with it!

A friend within the game helped me make a farewell video (and I'm trying to locate it to show my fiancé!). Any help would be much appreciated.

Ultimately just stopping by to say hi ! Looks as if Mehul left some years past and the game seems changed, but I'm sure glad to still see the presence of the forums! Home to some of the brightest (and most smug) minds out there.
Would love to hear from you all and see who may still be kicking around! I remember turtle and a few others but I'm sure some of you could refresh my memory!

Hoping to hear back!
All the best and with warmth!
Vic

... And downsay!!!! Whom I believe was my original mentor.
Kthxbye
Kekelar

which turtle?

Mehul abandoned Earth long ago and few years ago sold Earth and Utopia to JoltOmac which closed Earth soon and bit before Earth got closed Pang et co started making EE.

was it eclisod who helped you with the video?

and even though you left rd as i recall on not the greatest of terms, hiya bud, been a while. how's everything?

Hi to Marshal, ( husband to patience??... And thanks for the update) and hi to braden as well! and yes I think elcisod did help!

And I do remember upsetting some upon my exit - I was without a doubt still developing my moral compass and have nothing but best wishes to earth2025 friends and enemies alike.

Looking forward to seeing some other old names pop up!
I also remember a great friend from Carnegie Mellon as well as the son of a diplomat who taught me a good deal about Polo. Such a diverse group.

Patty is still blond and single Canuckian.

you would get more attention if you posted to alliance talk.

many olds are around like mARTIAN and Makinso etc.

HAHA Vic of course i remember you, your retirement video was epic!!!!

BTW, i am real sure you dont know me, i have changed my name multiple times, and have always been one of them shadow players. There isnt even an earthwiki page about me though I have been around for 15 years.

fluff you vicky, GL getting married

RBF: you can make it by yourself if you want.

i dont want an earthwiki page, i like being an unknown

Thanks Marshal. yes the memories are foggy.

at the time i played in every single worthwhile alliance- i am guessing i had more than his what, five, six, seven aliases?

ok, next screen says twelve.. we might have been about even, but i was head in.. none of them :P

Thanks kj!!
braden - what was the main name you used during that period?

And what on hell is an earthwiki?

Btw Was very pleasantly surprised to see don hanlong (12 plus years in LaF now?!) still around!
How has LaF done the last few sets?

http://wiki.earthempires.com/

laf has been in crap situation after hanlong and turtlecrawler got caught their hands deeply in stolen goodies and doubt it changes inside few sets.

if you want full story just goto alliance talk.

hello vic, playing again?

contact Son Goku (Don Goku) or any of the dons for that matter.. :p

Hello mrX!
Not playing, just saying hi!

Would accept LaF FR position, though :p

laf fr position isn't that good position atm (I think ia has best position atm besides members).

from what I can remember, ia always felt rough around the edges to me - does that make sense?

Who was the super small elite net gaining alliance?
Drawing a blank

not really.

monsters is smallish and nets most of time.

Might be confusing ia with icn...
Or wasn't there some joker insane clown possee alliance?

Monsters may be the netting group I had in mind - a few RDers there, i think.
Does anyone have any screen shots of some 2002-2004 primary set top 100s?

Cwg-clowns with guns, although i don't remember them doing much netting?
Dbd-death before disco?

Hmm could be that cwg deal, Marco. The group I have in mind did no netting, initiated many wars, and was crushed in all of them.

The later I've never heard of, and should be : disco or death!

CWG was in many wars (even some against RD) but it did net some of those sets I was there (6 sets where 3 were netting and 3 were war and I caused 1 of those wars (and some say 2)).

some reason I can't quite put my finger on, GW just feels like more fun. So I need more [url=http://www.salegw2gold.com][b]GW2 Gold[/b][/url]. Maybe its those abilities you collect? I mean they basically function like skills in any other MMO, yet they are a lot more fun to collect and use (they sort of remind me of the tech breakthroughs in Sword of the Stars). The battles also seem to be livelier and not as rigid as in other games (and not as frenetic as in Dragon Age). Also, the quests feel much more interesting and story-driven than the grind in other games. But still, taken all in all, those changes are not that significant. Yet I still find myself addicted to this game like no other MMORPG. What's going on here?!? If you are guild wars 2 fans and you want to buy [url=http://www.salegw2gold.com][b]cheap GW2 gold[/b][/url], welcome to here, this must be your favoriable choice!

Started playing about 1998.

awesome
