Time I finally made my post in this thread....
I actually started one, some time ago, back when the first page was only half as long, but I didn't post it...
Its difficult to think of people to commend that aren't in my linkshell.
Its not that they are the only good people around (this thread certainly proves otherwise), its just that all the help i've gotten and all the best experiences of shining character have mostly come from linkshell members.
As far as that goes,
Names I would like to have known to all include:
Sillia
Holyfork
Kysha
Ridri
Rogue
Kachiko
and also Seafer, one of our japanese LS members, who has often taken special pains to help me get certain things done, and has invited me into many of his all-japanese parties for very enjoyable experiences, allowing me to get to know players that I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet otherwise.
...all linkshell members, many thanks to them for all the help I've recieved in missions, in gathering RSE, in teaching me how to farm, how to play, much of what I've learned about the game.
There are others too... I really can't get away without saying that everyone in my linkshell deserves honorable mention for everything they have done and continue to do. Some have left the game by now, but aren't forgotten.
I'd really like to be able to mention other people who have helped or mentored me, but truthfully, all that has come from LS members.
I've met and partied with many very nice peple, and they all deserve a degree of recognition too, but I couldn't list (or even remember) all of them here...
this is kind of why I didn't end up posting the first time.
I wanted to be able to acknowledge a lot of people, but the most helpful and terrific people that I've had experiences with have mostly come from my linkshell. I still feel bad, and am debating whether to even post this...
I guess I will.
Please don't think I'm rude or anything for not offering direct acknowledgement of other non-LS people... but really, I tend more to be the one who goes out and helps other people...
all the help and support that I've gotten just happened to come straight from my LS.
