Been a long time since I've been on here. It is very nice to see some people that are still around since the time when I was trying for Builder on EQ. I went online to play a few times over the past two years, but never found enough people online to do so. Would have loved to play good old Siege one last time. But I guess that's life.
So now the server is closing down. Again. And I have a feeling that this is a final goodbye.
I think everyone knew EW was dying when it first went offline. But in my mind, it was good Tim brought it back. At least for some time. It has given us, the relics that remain from a different era of this server, a chance to more gently accept that our day is over.
I joined this server in 2013. More than six years ago. I grew up with its community, I bonded with its people, I built for EQ and played on EW until the map cycle had run through thrice. I joined roleplays and faction servers with members of the community. Most of all, I got to have some good conversation. And I made some friends.
This server made me very happy throughout my teenage years. And even though I wasn't its best builder, its best PvP player... it does put a smile on my face to think that people still know who I am when they read my name.
And so I want to thank Tobberz, all the Mods, the Artists and my fellow Builders, especially gelek, Ender, and Nik. I thank Ant for a long and interesting talk while building Fornost, and Epic and Olex for an abundance of great conversation at many a time. I thank good old lockrules for granting me the rank of Builder, and supporting me in my early days on EQ. And lastly, I want to thank Tim. You made all of this possible.
I think back fondly to my time on both Siege and the build server. And I will never forget it. But all good things must end, as they say. So, I guess... this is one final goodbye to Empire War.
