Horizons has always had a very special place in my heart. Call it Istaria if you must. Either way, I have missed the early days much, and have continued to follow it even though I am no longer a subscriber.
The things that attract me to any game are:
- Buffing newbies
- Romping around with friends
--- Helping level or outfit them
--- Being generally silly (banter, dueling in a comical and insincere way)
--- Doing stupid stuff that usually gets us killed, but eeeevery now and then lets us accomplish stuff no one (including us) thought was possible
- Doing community events (remember The Rainbow Bridge?)
The last time I played none of these things existed anymore, and I canceled my resub fairly quickly, heartbroken.
So my very sincere question is, do they exist now? I mean, I am sure many if not all of my old guild have left, so I understand that until new friendships are formed the romping around with friends is unlikely and that is ok. If the other stuff is there then I will have enough to keep me in the game long enough for that to develop naturally.
I miss my Dragon and want to fly again, but not if the skies are empty.
