for me, saga of ryzom has been as much a saga of fasi, seeing him start off as a young little kara know it all jerk (my first encounter with him, i was like "thats the last time i speak to him" during some kara fame grinding on the ancient driads in GoC back when fame was pretty much useless), to seeing his work effort and dedication. no-one has more levels over different chars, brinking on the point of crazy.
Seeing him banned for different reasons, but knowing hes the glory of ryzom and why people are dedicated so much to the game as he is. Fasi is the passion of the game that never dies despite many set backs. being reborn and working hard just to survive, much like the first exodus of the prime roots.
Im proud to know him, now call him a friend and use his account to chat here, does that qualify for the $200?
*hugs mate* gonna miss you, kye and ishy, was a great experience despite making a few mistakes along the way on my part, judging people based on stereotypical misconceptions, for that i am sorry. I pre-judged actions far too easily and made judgements on people, just because they had a different perception of passion and sucess in the game than my own.
Whilst i was kara in Ep 2, I distinctly remember 1. boycotting it after the first 15 mins and going to an empty FD to get every sup mat alone for three weeks, 2. going back at 3am whilst it was quiet, to take part in the event a few times, and hating it. The Evolution/Samsara strike of the event was great, we protected ourselves as a groups from both factions and lots sought refuge to come and peacefully dig with us under the protection of some of the greatest warriors. And Kara+Kami joining forces to kill "neutrals" in the end, the only time this had happened in the history of the game.
Shame the 3 Tryton/Neutral/Kitin invasions/events were cancelled by nev at the last minute; i think neuality died right then. "help the losing side" was a joke event for nuetrals imo. Elias would not have instructed this
I was Evolution at the time which was essentially as Kara Neutral as you could go, and the event pretty much wiped them out, along with the outpost aggresion that followed soon after.
I shouted so much at kami during Ep2, calling infinity etc cheaters for exploiting the kincher east bug, especially brithlem, who i later grew to respect alot. Getting to know thy enemy caused me to love the kami freedom and leave the more kara extremists
Sorry to go on so much, i`ve seen alot of things and usually expressed myself in one liners or complaints and not given my reasoning behind such thoughts. Atys is/was an amazing place, like no other. I started playing there in open beta in 2004, and played until mid 2007, until i was banned by paybycash for failed capture of payment (lol), thanks to fasi and his many accounts I was able to continue my enjoyment of the game.
Anyway, this was just an ode to my character and the people she met along the way, just incase this is the end. Thanks to those that helped me along the way, sorry to those who I offended. Thanks for the time here, so many moments that will change the way i view others and the world. Take care, hope to see you soon,
Scarazi, Icenn
