Flaxton: This game has been the best I have ever experienced :)

+Auntanua: I would love to see that, Mynnas
Pontius: Hey Ramen - can ya light a fire under the DDO peeps? There's a few of us on Rewards who never got invites. Pretty sure my 3 Gig 256 gcard can run that. =]

+Auntanua: yes, 10 PM EST is the scheduled lights out

Ravie Roo: may it bring dirty diapers and spit up and 3am feedings for you, ramen!
+Auntanua: I say, does anyone want to see the queen?
+Auntanua: hehe, she's killable
Pistolcord: somehow this game ending in 2005 seems fitting, given all the other legends that have passed on in the past year. Seems like the end of an era."
Pyro Jr: so many cool things in this game, so sad to see it go
Azergoth: And so Having free from the Shelter holds, and Seen the Empyrean race returned to it's rightful home, the 3 races of Lugian, Tumerok, and Human are left to fend on the World of Dereth with the new threat of the Abyssial game ending....But worry not this is not the End..but Only the beginning.
+Auntanua: I've let them know about Frostfell, it was not intended that it be down for good right now, just FYI...
Cheesy: I have enjoyed the past 2 1/2 years on Dereth, I wanted to sat this to FF, but... Goodbye Everyone and good fortune to you all !!!

Pontius says, One last time...for those who know what I mean...
Pontius says, FOR HONOR!
Tapuaua says, For GLORY!
Fairy: Is there a place I can read the story for this game? I've missed bits and pieces
Tapuaua: Dragonfly, look on AC2 Warcry, under Lore, under The Mehnir and under Profiles in History.
Stonefists: tapu put together a great summary of the game on ac2.warcry..."
Tapuaua: I';ve got some historical summaries, and some character sketches, and some fanfic. :)"
Tapuaua: I wrote an alternative ending to make things come out nice. :)"
Malee Xv: Turbine should write a book about where the story line was going atleast it would answer some questions"
You say, "No I think Tapuaua should write that :)"
Mynnas: Yeah, AC2 NOVELS! That would be interesting
Tapuaua: I took out the MAJOR problems that were bothering US. Pookie won't trouble you if you don't trouble her, so I let her be."
Milverne: when is AC2: The Movie coming out on DVD?
Tapuaua: Well, I would cheerfully write any number of AC1 and -2 books, but who'd publish them??"
Pyro Jr: publishing wouldn't be too difficult i don't think"
Pyro Jr: I would love to see the entire story lone laid out in book form"
Tapuaua: No one but Turbine would have the rights, and Turbine won't take the trouble because there'd be no money in it for them."
Tapuaua: But only Turbine has the rights.
Pyro Jr: therein lies the rub"
Pyro Jr: there is always the internet, google book site and the like
Tapuaua: It always comes down to money. The Turbine people are trying to MAKE A LIVING wriiting this game!
Tapuaua: They can't do it on air.
Malee Xv: there could be money in it they could do an ebook thing and sell it in the turbine store
Pyro Jr: there are many things that could've been done"
Aken-Lotus: Bowdog has been my loyal companion since beta...thank you for our awesome pets!"
Ctf: this best server and game of any I have ever played"
Aken-Lotus: AC2's community is the best, everyone says that =)"
Martel: How much can we gather in PayPal to slide to Ramen to leave just one server running - back in some corner somewhere where no one will care? LoL"
Tapuaua: Ramen can't do it. And we couldn't raise enough.
Tanari: well, I figure they'll recycle the servers for DDO"
Evileena: What will I do with 5megs free on this pc now?
Pyro Jr: wonder what it takes"
Pyro Jr: to keep them running"
Tapuaua: Lots."
Tapuaua: And don't forget what Citan said ... someone would have to keep them running, tweak the code and so on."
Ctf: bah just restart em once a day... no code nuthing... just leave it fer us... get together once a week or so"
Tapuaua: It wouldn't work."
Aken-Lotus: Dereth is alive & well in AC1, i just hope they dont close that one =("
Tapuaua: They show no signs of doing so. Citan said that."
Aken-Lotus: now that im all attached again hehe"
Ctf: i know... just wishing"
Martel: Sorta reading Pops are really low on AC1."
Tapuaua: I'm going back to AC1 tomorrow....."
Mynnas: they need to calm the super-fast xp grinding on ac1"
Mynnas: it's really really easy to powerlevel in AC1 to max level now"
Aken-Lotus: AC1 is so fun still, lol, great game =)"
Tanari: I have friends planning to go back to AC1. I sure hope it doesn't fold too."
Pyro Jr: we know now they will kill a game if they feel it necessary"
Aken-Lotus: yeah i mean how often does a game get shut down? really sad for us =("
Pyro Jr: might even seem easier on them once this one goes down"
You say, "this was the third I can think of, after Uru and Earth & Beyond"
Aken-Lotus: yeah but who played that haha!"
Aken-Lotus: its funny but i was afraid of all the bots in AC1, but i never see any, i am playing from scratch again, no bots help hehe, its wicked fun"
Pyro Jr: goodbye all, one last login to FF before it's all over /wave
Evileena: Goodbye all the music has stopped
Tapuaua: We will go out on our feet, singing and dancing."
Tapuaua: Our lights and our music will hang in the air after us after we vanish."
Pop of Morningthaw: Auld Lang Syne becomes more appropriate the closer we get to shutdown"
Seton: Our spirits will roam the land of Derth forever!"
Aken-Lotus: good hunting, citizens of Thistledown...it has been a pleasure gaming with you all!! May the loot be uber & the XP generous in your futures! =) /bow
Pop of Morningthaw: AC1!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tapuaua: Dereth will live in our memories."
Tapuaua: and in all the screenshots on our hard drives. :)"
Mynnas: goodbye everyone, I hope your travels take you everwhere you want to go
Tanari: The Tonk will always remember...."
Seton: Thanks again Ramne for all your work for us!!"
Tanari: safe travels one and all"
Ctf: MISSES ME RAMEN ALREADY!!"
