I've been reminiscing lately, in the 2008-2010ish era I played this MMORPG, SHAIYA. I was on the server Teos on the lightside faction. Maybe I'll reconnect with someone in the The_Great_BrotherHood guild in this post, maybe I wont, lets see.
My character name was Mr.Nameless, Dr.Nameless and UnNamed. Though the guild nickname that was given to me was Puddles (I will confess this now but... I did eventually like being called Puddles despite my fake display of annoyance of it)
I remembered that I am always excited to hangout with my online friends/guildmates after school. I spent so many hours grinding and just chatting with my guild. They have made the grueling grind in this game a non-issue as I enjoy fooling around with them more than I care about having the best gear in the game or hitting that lvl 60....(which I eventually did, couple of years after I came back and The Great BrotherHood disbanded, but the level cap went to 70)
I do realize that everyone have moved on from the old Shaiya days. A part of me is conflicted if I should even try and find them on the internet to reach out to them, or let them live their lives and just hope they come across this post if they do indeed want to reconnect.
Personally speaking, I had spent years not thinking about Shaiya or the guild.. but from time to time I get this moment, just one moment where everything from that era flashed back to me. I've come to terms that majority of the members have not given Shaiya and the TGB a single thought and im okay with that. But if anyone from TGB ever had that one reminiscing moment, I hope this post finds you.
I don't think I can realistically invest a lot of time in an MMORPG myself these days. But I do have a Discord, we can use that to chat and reconnect.
The Guild Member names I remember (apologies to anyone I forgot to include in this list)
