That a fine player has left the game.
When I first picked up the NA release of FF, I was fortunate to receive a linkpearl and 1k gil from a slick taru named Fortlag.
I was a level 3 BLM at the time, and was honored to become a member of Burnination.
There, I met great peeps...Blueriver, Cadant, Stryknine, Fortlag...and the subject of this post...Viledarkness.
"teh Darkness" as I referred to him, was a do anything, go for it kind of player. He couldn't sit still with one job...he leveled his MNK, his SAM but mostly his PLD. We had many great times camping the Chyme, getting the monuments for that old fool in Selbina and just general silliness that made the game fun. We traveled far and wide, (most of the time almost ending in {death}) but it was always a good time.
When Burnination seemed to disolve, Vile and I formed a new LS, DynastyOverlords. We brought in our boys...Stryk, Blue, Bloodreign, Goodboy and a host of others. A fun loving LS that didn't take a whole lot too seriously. Bloodreign transcended and became a 74 BLM, Stryk became a 68 RDM and others in my LS kept hard at. Vile however, started to stall...RL was calling him...and he answered.
Soon, DO was merged with Alumina...a GREAT LS with great players.
I already owe them a lot. They have helped me accomplish things I have dreaded in this game...but one thing is missing...
Teh Darkness.
I can't take away from the peeps I have known and still know...I have the fortune of knowing more good then bad players. And for fear of missing one I can not name them all. But...
Teh Darkness...Steve...my young brother..I want to wish good luck and fortune...and again, I want to tell Bismarck, about a great PLD, a great player and a great dude...that will never grace the server again.
Raise your glasses, hit your bong and toast a mad playa wit da skillz..
Viledarkness.
