My Memories of EmpireWar...
I'll try not let this be as rambling and as bereft of punctuation as others' posts.
I think I first came on EmpireWar around February 2013. My first game was on Minas Tirith, being ruined by a certain Wixxi as armoured troll (hue hue, one could say I learnt from the best).
On RP, I had great fun for those few weeks with Thu in the fortress of Khazan-Vuor, and was naturally devastated when it closed. I don't think I played on EmpireWar much for about a year after that - due to more personal Minecraft projects (and other games, of course.)
Probably around New Year 2015 I started playing more frequently again (though I do remember playing that Survival/RP server that was up for like 1 day). In about June I changed my name to Tobberz, and after that I joined Ice's towny server. There I actually began to speak in chat .
From then on, it escalated. Since ~October 2015 my whole experience has rocketed. And it has been brilliant!
I look forward to continue playing with all you brilliant people (not naming names), on EQ and elsewhere.
