Wow.....I don't know what to say. I logged into Kelen today and went to go stroll through strongholt to check out what had happened to the place and what new buildings Kaldor had put up and i thought I was on the wrong shard.
Desolate and cold, was what I found. It's almost like a physical blow to show up and suddenly realize how much has changed since the time I was able to be around on a regular basis.
Kaldor...after a long time on my home shard and nothing going on, I came to europa and I quickly found your guild. You stood out for some reason, and after applying I was accepted and I don't think I've ever fought alongside people who were such a team as the Kaldorians were. Sure, some of us hated each other. Some of us wanted to rip each others throats out between battles. Raza, Dondinia, Xathos...But when any outside threat showed up, all was forgotten during battle and we fought as one.
I can't believe it's over.
This thread both made me happy to see everyone talking about the guild and sad to realize that talking about it was in the past tense. For those of you who i roleplayed with and fought alongside...Thank you. You restored my faith in the game as a whole and in the community. You made me realize that things can work if you stick to your own convictions.
I'd at least hoped to have Kelen say goodbye to everyone in character, but I missed that chance, Didn't I?
Kaldor...As One.
[And, well, I still can't bring myself to abandon the game I came to love, and I'm still playing
