Same here :D I always hated getting to that part of the quest myself (with my first pirate back in December and then again my first one on the Test system)... its like 'ok - if I beat this guy up like 4 times - dying each time of course - I might be able to get him :D )

As it turned out, on my first pirate on my 5th run on live... I ran into a group of ladies who were there just killing stuff and one using her Doll to heal the others... we begain talking... and that began a great friendship with which created The Dolls Guild - so many meanings to that title, so simple to come up with :D

I am still having fun as much as back when I first started Nov 2007. yet I remember the newness and the new experiences (which is this thread's point) and miss it. :)

I remember the Good ol' beta day's(during phase 2). But phase 1 was pretty
cool. I figured out I could get tons of gold by clicking an easy quest a bunch
of times before I do it so I get like 10 times more than what they pay me.
Fighting the kraken was pretty awesome but laggy. Phase 2 owned and
he graphics where better than Beta 1. The bad part was I had to recreate
my character but It was worth it because the character I made in Beta 2 looks
completely different now on the test server and I am better and trying to level
up. It's been a while since I played and I should play right now.

Alright, that's just about the sweetest thing I've heard all day. Max, publish the story on your guild forum.

As for Sarah...signed up for POTCO on day one, POF the next day. I miss the amazing willingness of everyone here on POF to help each other thru any quests. We were all new then, and looking back at some old posts, we were REALLY in the dark. Not a single snide remark though. (and come to think of it, at this point, I might be snide to myself at some of the questions I posted..must remeber I was once clueless)

Special thanks to WizardHawk, wherever you may be ;)

good times
