==About myself== |

Returned to Elanthia as of June 5, 2009. |
|||
In the very, ''very'' early days of DragonRealms I played a Ranger. This was shortly after (if not as soon as) the game launched on AOL. I returned briefly in the early aughts (2000 or 2001) while in college and played a both Warrior Mage and Ranger to some extent, the pinnacle of which was obtaining a baby raccoon on my Ranger. Don't ask me what their names were, as I have no idea. The email address that account was linked to was a university address which has long since been deleted, and apologies, but the Simu restoration fees are nothing short of extortion (I'm sure there's a great reason such as accessing tape backups, but $250?!). |
|||
Ultimately I needed to find a reason to return to the game. I know myself well enough that if I don't have some kind of tangible goal to shoot for, I won't last past the first ten circles. What finally pushed me over the edge was http://www.thedragonsegg.net/Catalog.htm (at the time of this writing, there were no metal armor forgers). I'm sure there are plenty of people who do metal forging out there, and I won't be looking to actually make a ton of money, but it seemed like a niche I could fit myself into. I also enjoy filling the roll of defender/protector/tank, so Paladin wasn't a tough choice. |

==My Thoughts== |
|||
I had probably been toying with the idea of playing DragonRealms on and off for well over a year. I know this has been thrashed around to great length in other places, but the monthly fee for DragonRealms is a bit hard for me to digest. Don't get me wrong; I'm sure there are people out there that get their money's worth out of $55/mo (assuming that is the correct cost of Platinum+TF), but when I compare it to other services or games it's hard for me to rationalize. I've played Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft to a great extent, my account for the latter still being active for raiding twice a week. Part of what has kept me in both of those has been real-life friends playing, and trying to sell them on a MUD for the same monthly price has only been met with utter failure (the friend I played FFXI with even played DR during the AOL days). |
|||
But I'm here now, and hopefully for some time to stay. I'd hate to see the shield Kraggur donated to me go to waste. ;) |

*As I've been away from Elanthia for an eternity, I plan to collect my thoughts into a "guide". At first it will probably be a fairly disorganized mess, collecting pages I constantly find myself referring to. Hopefully I'll have the good sense down the road to mold it into something more cohesive. |
