That is so true! I remember those days well!
Some of my old clans - beginning clans - from Devianne: DarkLight (May/June 2004), Mercenaries (best Clan by far, started summer of 2004 - Auri, Greenie, Mars, Unem (just wow), Neo, lots more, old gang - was there til the end), Bloody Pirates, Syndicate, etc. Spent some time.... with Wretched Outcasts there long afterwards (yes - Slycutter.....funny, we fought them in the first big Siege at Heine castle back in the day [I died at least a dozen times during that siege - but took at least twice as many....lots of running back!], and we ended up together for a time....actually, pretty good guy)...those were the days. I remember that first giant Siege near Dion in 2004 - - talk about lag, that was crazy....but so much fun!
Started out on Devianne during Prelude (April-May 2004). Character is Styxess, and yes, also started out (and stayed) on Devianne for as long as it was there. Been gone here and there a lot - but was fairly serious back in the day (2005-2008). Then got deployed with the Army, a few times. Came back, and they changed the login, and wiped out my character (a lot of work gone). I play extremely casual now - cam back last fall of 2017, after being gone for over 5 years (I was not happy with NCSoft for wiping my character while I was deployed - nothing I could do about that, and they didn't give a da@n). I'm just working back - 103 (Feoh Storm Screamer...as always)/100 (Feoh Archmage). Game has changed a lot.
