Hey !! Look I'm still alive !

Hi guys,

How are you all doing, nice to see that the community is still there. I miss you everytime I try or think of playing online, it's such a cruel world out of the community !
A friend of mine is trying to pull me into BF3, but I've got this strange feeling that the golden age of online gaming was the UT2K4/FnG period for me.
I'm more focused on family now : baby #3 is now a cute little (16 months old) boy and requires a good share of attention.

Anyways, just passing by to say Hi and see who's still there !

[[FnG] Da Kril]

Palouf! Howdy.

I'll see your and raise you one

Yes, UT2K4 was certainly very special, and nothing has really grabbed (all) our group's fancy in the meantime,
but we have hopes for some new games coming out.

A bunch of us are/were playing Battlefield 3, while others are awaiting Guild Wars 2.
(personally, I've got my eye on Hawken, which looks tasty)

Glad to hear you are well and prospering with the family,
--kril out--

*pokes with stick* are you sure?

Yes some of us still hang out around here in the hope of a good game and scintilating conversation,
and we don't get that we just have to put up with BF3 and getting stabbed in the back.

Families they can really dent your playing time, but they do have other redemptive qualities instead.

I was discussing the good 'ol days of UT2004 last night with Lilly and Sphinx.

Mainly we are hoping we can make some NEW Good ol' days in GW2


PS Re Hawken - Just watched the vids on it. And I think their slogan should be "In the future , there will be no building planning officers"

Hey, I was just thinking about Le Palouf de Violet just the other day. You're on mini-Palouf number 3 now??? Blimey!

A few of us old guard are still here, especially the ever-present and wonderful forum Admins who keep things ticking over and tidy like they used to be. I for one drift by the forum occasionally but am pretty strapped for time and constricted for internet access at work these days, so visits are infrequent now, which is a shame.

Hope you're well, mate, and that life is treating you kindly. Who knows, we may be but a few months away from a gaming revolution that will rejuvenate the entire online community.

In home news, Marksman junior No. 1 is on the way at the moment - another six weeks and she'll be popping out, Lightning Gun in hand. Well maybe not armed as such (don't think mother would be AT ALL pleased about that), but ...

Heck thats close and sounds like very bad timing, I mean what a decision to make if GW2 arrives on the same day!

Hiya PP
nice to see you here again and great to hear all goes well for you and your family

[[FnG] RampantBunny]

Hey Purple...good to see you were still able to find us

[[FnG] N!MRoD]

Hi Purp, nice to see you are still around ^^

And Krill, I just might join you on Hawken. That one caught my fancy. And it will follow a free to play formula last i heard? So anyone will be able to join in easily

[[FnG] PurplePalouf]

So glad to read you all and get news !
Congratulations Marksman for the -erm- Markslilgirl !

Hawken looks cool indeed. I'm also impatiently waiting for Diablo 3, hoping that my machine will be alright (that 4 years old thing I built for UT3 )

And here's the point where I come in and say there are still 5 or 6 regulars playing UT2004 every night on the FnG Euro server. Come along now and again for a game!

Its nice to hear from you PP. 3 kids must certainly keep you busy, but there is ALWAYS game time available (i.e. when they are in bed).

Those glory UT2004 days will, I fear, sadly never be back. It is rare that a single game unifies so many different and fun people for such an extended time. I could easily shed a wee manly tear thinking about it.

There is news that Epic are working on a PC-only title. I would like to think its the next Unreal Tournament. Time will tell

[[FnG] PurplePalouf]

UT2004 euro server still alive ! I might reinstall the game just to witness that, even if I'm sure that the people still playing the game must be some pretty hardcore players.

If you want something different with a feel of UT, you can always try Tribes Ascend
Its free to play and uses the UT3? engine. Its pretty fast paced and fun.
