    Exclamation 5 Years Istaria (Horizons)!

    December 5, 2003
    Horizons officially launched in Europe.

    Oh my I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to make the thread!

    The game is now offically 5 years old! Oh my the memories! Takora Drakan is now 1828 days old, I created her dozen times in the beta and finally the last time at the EU launch on Earth. I never met such a loving and nice community in any other MMORPG so far, good that the spirit carried also over Unity! It was like Earth just mixed with the awesome people form Ice and Wind too! I could now write pages of stuff but I don't want to bore you with my old stories.

    Have some old and dusty memories? Share them with us !

    And I wish the game another 5 awesome years of gaming! Happy Birthday Istaria!

    Talking Re: 5 Years Istaria (Horizons)!

    Hmmm.... five years ago..... At that time Herman, Nate, and I lived in the lands of Ultima Online, specifically on the Catskills shard in the village of Edinburgh that we had helped to found. All our old friends and guildmates had wandered off to other realms months & months before. Even Herman and Nate had stopped playing and I was alone and lonely. So I started to search for a new home.

    Lo and behold! I heard rumors of a new realm called Horizons and I went to search out these rumors and tales. By January, I heard the tale that in the fair lands of Istaria you could milk a cow by beating over its head with a bucket. That was such an amusing way of gathering milk I had to go see for myself and Istaria has been my beloved home ever since!!!!


    HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY ISTARIA!!!!!!!

    I think I actually heard of Horizons back when it first came out. Being a jobless highschool student at the time, I couldn't afford it, and thus it slipped out of mind.

    I've been with the game close to a year now, and it's the longest I've actually been with a pay-to-play MMORPG. Forget another five years, I'm toasting to ten!

    Happy B-Day Istaria!! I've been playing for a bit more than one year and LOVE this game, I hope it stays... forever!

    A little song here from Canada:

    (it's in french)

    Une fleur sur ton coeur,
    Un bisou sur ta joue,
    Un sourire pour te dire:
    Joyeux Anniversaire!

    (which may translate as: )

    A flower on your heart,
    A kiss on your cheek,
    A smile to tell you:
    Happy Birthday!

    5 years old, really? Goodness me, I don't remember buying it when heavily pregnant but I guess I must have done - as my oldest child will be 5 on the 22nd.. Having said that, I *do* recall taking a break having not long installed it, that was probably the reason!

    Happy Birthday Istaria!

    Istaria oh good old Istaria....
    ...never found a place where a player can do more to participate with the world.
    ...never found a game where i wrote more stats and recipes on papers
    ...never found a game where i was able to fill up my silos with tons of ressources
    ...maybe once a day we will meet again

    That means Tagath will be 5 on the 26th! He was trying all throughout the beta tests to get accepted to beta the game and never did. When it did go live, he didn't have the money to get it.
