Re: Welcome, New Players! (or Welcome Back, Old Players!)
I was reminded of one of my old characters, a nasty woman. I went through some old turn reports I saved and was reminded of many old personalities I used to play.
Also remember how sad my character was when yours died, Henkie. Nederheuvel was the best Dutch town there was, it's a shame I ended that by moving everyone to the unknown. But the Dutch section had gotten awful with all the OOC cheating in the other towns. Powergaming's what it was, with a new CRB every other day. Hopefully those people (or that influential person, rather) quit now.
Might start a second character in the Dutch lands! Is it any good now?

Re: Welcome, New Players! (or Welcome Back, Old Players!)
And the first month of my return (around 15 months back now) was charactarized by nostalgic feelings for the old times.. I still regret letting my chars fade but RL took a spin for me, so I had no choice 
The dutch are scattered and low in number. The old dutch/spanish island is still populated, the heart of former CRBing is now populated by a staggering 3 dutch chars, but two are very active. The same on other places, a couple active players who mostly have English chars to boast said activity, and "do dutch" on the side, including myself.
I can say the group from back then is no longer playing, only Jens Grootman remains, I am sure you met him. He was always against the violence.

Well, after a 4 or 5 year hiatus I decided to have my account reactivated. Created two characters and I'm back in the game.
Beatings will continue until morale improves!!

I don't remember anything. I just write "Welcome!" randomly in here now and then for social skill points.

Re: Welcome, New Players! (or Welcome Back, Old Players!)
so my one character has been going strong, trying to be a productive member of society.
a shame I didn't spawn in a warzone and get handed a battleaxe and told to swing at the enemy. That was the start of my third favorite character.

I'm back after an 7 year or so hiatus. Lots of new stuff to learn, and hat used to be a familiar place appears almost unrecognizable.
