Ah I still remember running with Ginharq as Icthaen. Those were the good old (and bad) days. I would skip entire days of class to try to regain the orb with you versus bad odds and then try to regear for the 129494th time. I hated school, but I had CF. I think Ginharq owes me about 3 failed courses. Pretty sure after that you were the next Marshall after Grysh with Reir. Then as Yean we ran together quite a bit with my myriad of villagers, and I specifically remember you being around when I finally got a Drillmaster (Charunycain my last serious character). We always seemed to end up on the same side which has happened with a few other players as well (Gerylanst/Acaga comes to mind). You definitely kept having fun a premium over powergaming and we had that in common. I think we've both come a long way, so in a sense it's good to see that real life is consuming you. That being said I checked Dio/CF a couple weeks ago for the first time in over a year, so I guess you never really leave. For me I just can't imagine putting in the amount of time it takes to have a decent character these days and I never was the type to be able to play an hour/day or something consistent like that. It was always all or nothing.

All the best to you, you're a good person from what I can tell and you tell it like it is which is a great quality.

Take care,

Grysh
