It has been almost 6 years... The game has changed a lot and for what I can tell for the better...
I reactivated my account and amazingly all my gear is still there although I am sure it is completely obsolete...
I still need to rewrite all my macros and try to remember all the game commands but it would be nice to find an active linkshell willing to take an old hardcorer under their wing... anyways thanks good old rags for being one of the great servers to survive the merger...
