Awesome to hear from you man! I still check this board every couple of months or so on the off chance that someone will stop by. I'll probably be sending you an email. Basically in my 'online' life since UO, I've played Star Wars Galaxies, Dark Age of Camelot, City of Heroes, and most recently returned to Star Wars Galaxies after they made it into a good game, then left again for good after they destroyed it with the most recent 'upgrade'. Now I am playing Guild Wars for now at least. In my real life I went through probably the hardest years of my life just as you were doing. The great news is that for the past year and a half or so I've been getting back on my feet and am actually 'there' now (not that we ever truly arrive, but at least I feel like I can get on with living my life). I'm working in the IT dept now at a company called Hickory Springs and am doing very well there. Also I am trying to work on getting a web comic off the ground. It's still in its very early stages, but I have a drawing table now which means finally a great space to work from. I'm working on getting the characters and world fleshed out, then I'll be aquiring copyrights, finding a web designer and I'll be ready to go... I'm hoping by summer. I'm really glad to hear that things are going well for you now, and honored to know that on some level I had something to do with inspiring you to keep pushing during some rough years. Just shows that we really don't know how we affect those we come in contact with
I'll be emailing you and visiting your site. Keep it real!

: Imagine how shocked I was to make a random

: some old Ultima research for inspiration,
: and actually find results!
:
: Hello everyone (and a hearty Hail! to Lord
: David), for I am home to visit.
:
: Since my passing days of Ultima Online, I
: have since tried many MMORPGs, and met with
: much failure. For a brief time, Moregar and
: I operated a group called the Knights of the
: Mystic Order on Neverwinter Nights.
: Eventually I broke off and went solo, aiding
: in the forming of Legacy on Final Fantasy
: XI, and eventually the prize: Vagrant
: Knights for Monster Hunter on the
: Playstation 2.
:
: Accumulating all my governing lessons from
: past failures (lack of member management in
: Knights of the Mystic Order, lack of a
: heirarchy in Legacy, etc), I organized a
: Guild with the aid of real-life friend Drew
: and recruited a small number of members. A
: year and a half has passed, and through many
: hardships and an ever-increasing and
: improving morale, Vagrant Knights now
: operates beyond Monster Hunter as a true
: Online Guild.

: This site will soon be updated in the
: following months with the latest CSS and
: Javascript modifications on my paid, ad-free
: server. However, that's not everything.
: We're currently discussing turning our deep
: hand-made fiction into a series of novels
: and expanding into other upcoming releases
: such as Phantasy Star Universe and Monster
: Hunter 2 (both for PS2, our platform of
: choice as PC has not shown any decient
: online action-adventure titles coming,
: except for SUN).
:
: Vagrant Knights is definitely the dream
: project I've personally always aimed for.
: But David's past leadership was the guiding
: light that kept me trying until I nailed it
: down.
:
: I know I told you this once when we bumped
: into each other last time in the CoH Beta,
: David, but per chance you should come back
: to the forums sometime and read this again,
: I will let you know it anew:
: I am eternally grateful for everything you
: did for me.
:
: Despite all the trouble I was, and all the
: problems that plagued the guild, you made
: something that pulled me through the
: roughest part of my life and I will never
: forget the sacrifices you made, the
: forgiveness you offered, and the knowledge
: you bestowed. You taught me how to
: appreciate fantasy.
:
: Now I'm working to help a new generation get
: on their feet as well. But our stories are
: far from over. Next year, I will be
: attending Full-Sail college and taking their
: Video Game design and development course. I
: intend to begin and operate my own company
: within 5 years with a small-business loan,
: eventually covering not only Video Games,
: but Animation, Art, and Writing.
:
: I hope things have gone well with everyone
: here, and I would like to hear from you
: sometime. My E-Mail remains the same at
: InfinityFactor@hotmail.com. I can also be
: reached on my forums located at the Vagrant
: Knights webpage listed above. I will check
: back here periodically to see if anyone
: should happen to show up between now and
: then.
:
: I'd also like to thank Tazzed, Moregar,
: Jason, (Ice Cold, whatever you real name
: might be. ), Alucard Belmont, Zeddicus,
: Kessler, Mordane Wildwind (who is the very
: reason I found out about this group in the
: first place), and so many more for the fun
: and experience we've had. Ultima may have
: changed for the worse, but I assure you we
: will not.
:
: Again, please let me know how you're all
: doing. Thank you, everyone. To battle!! Into
: the Fray!! This is for the Fallen, and
: Steady Valor!! --Zweihander
