First time on the server:
Hmm, quite a while back, when Helms Deep was really small, with a little ram and a tiny tower. I joined with a couple of friends but only one really stuck to the server with me - CorruptWombat, a treasured member of the community, top donator for a long time and an all round cool guy, who doesn't play MC anymore, but oh well. I remember joining Empire War (one of the first multiplayer servers I joined, except for some Survival Games server and Wombat's private server) on Helms and getting demolished by Trolls when I tried jumping off the wall as an archer, fighting with my stick like a good 'ol newb. I rage quit for a couple of months, but rejoined and slowly got the hang of PvP and stayed because of the community. <3
Best RP Memory:
I would say the demon attacks were my favorite like everyone else, or some of the meta attacks us Reddagerians committed against the Ilthilien Dam, or pretending to be a Blackfyrian Innkeep as I spied in a very meta-manner, but I preferred the quiet moments of building and dwelling within the RedDagger hideout hidden in the Deep Grove.. Until of course livold3000 and Anrza went crazy killing our own members and giving us a bad name, as well as us being an MVP club of strip-mining, powergaming, warmongering, metagaming, assholes..
Best Memory in General:
Wow, so many. But I think the parkour trails made in the lobbies of Moria were really fun, I died so many times because of those pesky jumps, but it was great.
Favorite Member:
There are so many names I can think of: Hents, great PvPer and guy, Leon, future Moderator and an old friend, Thu, passionate for RP and has a peculiar lust for bearded women, Beep, an all-round great guy and fair DM, Icecream, who's name always made me hungry, Everybody, founder of Blackfyre and a future Moderator, Dimitri, a strange, strange man, Riko, an Inuit at hear, Polarnik the bear, founder of RedDagger, Dwight, founder of Ilthilien, InfamousG, wonderful builder and great Roleplayer, lem, who's terraforming skills baffle me to this very day, lotrloz, the quiet guy who was the best archer, Mike, passionate for Ilthilien and a man who likes to go down if a ship is sinking, Mark, great archer and odd fellow, MD, TRUE King of the dwarves and amazing archer, gele, with his spongy face, Dyl, a cool Brit with a fascination for dwarves, Only_Gewd, ermagherd he buerlt erl orf erzgilierth, Titan, and his ever lasting passion for creativity, Antzorg, a rad guy, Prometheus, who is known for his valiant efforts to help the community (a touchy subject for some, but I still keep my opinion, arrogant as ever), the wit, wisdom and humor of Cookie, Anrza, the archer who's honesty, logic and intelligence goes unquestioned (except for some cases >.>), but, I'd have to say Tim is the best.
Seeing all the hard work he has put into our entertainment; he created this network and community, coded ALL the maps and classes, does a lot of website work for the Forums, and is currently doing loads of behind the scenes bug-fixes and whatnot as well as trying to keep himself sane at the same time, he really deserves a medal. G'job, Tim. :thumb:
