Hello everyone, not many would know me under this name, and not sure there are any of the "old" players still around. I've played this game since beta phase 2 all the way till I was forced to take a break in 2005.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times, came back and left again, etc, etc. I am always pulled back to this game regardless of what happens in RL or what game may come out that captures my interest at that time. I've played a lot of games since this one, beta tested many as well.
Left this one for Everquest 2 (Won't be going back to that one), then got dragged into World of Warcraft by my husband and have been hanging out there for the largest part of my away from "Horizon's" time... yes, I know it's been renamed but a lot of us "veterans" will always probably call it "Horizon's". So now I'm back to this one again.
I feel like a newbie all over again. There are things that have changed since I was here last, and I'm trying to remember how to play my characters again. The crafting actually came easier to remember! I'm an old player lost in her old world I guess. Things are missing that used to be there and the world is seemingly empty of people, but I hope that will change. Consigner's don't have goods on them as they used to have and a lot of the people I'm seeing online are people I do not know. I recognize a few names I've seen, such as Leonea, Sonea and Joanna....I doubt they will recall who I am.
My main character was/is called Silver, a Saris Healer. I also have a Dragon named Gentle. In order to try to refresh my memory with this game I've created two others and I'm caught up in re-familiarizing myself with the world and game basics again. Though I think I find it most frustrating not to find goods available on the consigners as it used to be before I left. I realize a lot has changed as has the population of the servers now online. It is my hope that this will change and that this game will revive again to what it was before. I've missed it and the people and the wonderful interaction I had in the world of Istaria.
I'd give anything to find someone who can make cargo gear... (well within reason of course)
I really wish I could remember my old forum name and password... it sucks getting old...
