Ah, Aarisewan
was also the first person I met in Syrtis and was promptly recruited to TWC. An awesome player and a great guy too, used to take my newbie butt (along with others from TWC) to forts and explain how they worked! I do think my first trip to the war zone was with Aari.
I didn't stay in TWC since they seemed to make a big deal out of multi-realmers joining the clan, and I play for fun and prefer not to take thing so seriously. But, in a way that was good as I ended up in Reclamation, and I had so much fun in that clan! Missing players such as Bamaboi, Arwen, Lussiel Rilme, Haranaka, Aphro, Alty, Wire, Saralanna... the list is endless! Reclamation helped me get more enjoyment out of the game, and I learned a lot more about the game mechanics whilst in this clan.
Kornelius, a Syrtian knight was the first player in Syrtis who gave me some nice epic knight gear. Bamaboi also was with him, and provided me with some nice gear too!
Jakob is a brilliant knight in PvP and I remember him taking me to pp, when I was level 30ish, having PvP matches with goats at pp, shame those don't happen any more!
Mr Egg - taught me to sync dance!
Prettykitty! How could I forget her. Thanks Angel_de_Combate. Prettykitty helped a lot of people out including myself, by handing out free items and expecting nothing in return. I learned this trait from her and even today pretty much everything I gave to people is free of charge (which makes me a bit broke in terms of gold, but not a big deal!).
Pnarpa and Ratpool Pan! Two of the most hilarious people I ever had the pleasure of playing with, both awesome players too!
Scias, Selian, Rathaloz, Detalhez, Meleager, Narzoul, Beeker, Tapantaola, Von, Shadowtale, Vitez, Repoorteht, Pauluzz, Jesus, ieti, Medichick/Xaro, Minamoto, Anpu, Annavilya, Ereinion, maciamd, renger, Nel, Salvia, Wolfhound Strider, Silent Shadow <3, Ricksa Arcus, Eragon Shadeslayer - All people who I had quite literally hours of fun with and would instantly /party when they came online.
The list really is endless! I'm sure I forgot plenty of people, but for the most part, I had a lot of fun with most of Syrtis Horus. I never really got to know most of raven that joined after the merge, as soon after that I got bored of playing in Syrtis and mostly played hunter.
As for players from other realms, I can't really speak about them as I haven't played alongside them. I am playing in Ignis at the moment, but will take some time to get to know them
so far been (mostly) a warm welcome. Based on forum presence however I respect the opinions of many! Artec, Immune, Ulti, Kitsune, JainFarstrider, standistortion, Kharb, Shwish. I'm sure I missed some out, but I basically value well thought out comments and people who look at the bigger picture rather than their own individual class, and people who keep their cool and explain their concerns without raging!
Ah, you make me reminisce!
All of the above (and more I am sure) have had some sort of influence in my style of thinking and game play on RO.
