Preserving the Wonder and Mystery

The only difference between those who uses AIM and those who don't is the amount of drama and bs you'll have to put up with in the end  ;)
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

Well, if you -do- use AIM, then a lot of plots going on around the world might be sort of "Oh, I've seen that before, I know whats going on." I suppose.

I use AIM as my own personal APM. Hearing stories of old characters, hearing about cool things they did or said. Sometimes it spills into current characters. For instance, [Character] totally went the wrong way in [Place] and had to fight like six [Creature] and -lived- to tell people back in [city] about it.

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

I'm enjoying speaking to neither immortals nor other players (as much as that is possible). I used to chat on IRC a little, as Cleric of Nilaz, or on the GDB as Yang or even IMs, and I've built some very strong RL friendships because of Armageddon. These friendships and interactions usually only enriched the game for me. But now, nearly 15 years after beginning to play (I was only 14 then, now going on 29!) I am at last able to find enjoyment in this game in the spirit it was meant to be.

My knowledge of the game is not even remotely complete, even after all that time, so there is still plenty of wonder and mystery. The best part of that is though, I can sometimes play characters who perpetuate that wonder and mystery and bring the game world to life for other players and their beautiful characters, without really needing to reveal my identity or exploits at all. It's very much 'the zone' and I'm thankful for this amazing multiplayer world to escape into when the wonder and mystery of real life isn't so appealing.

Hey man.

Glad you're still playing.
