tm_master Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 Long live Psycho Drone ! Oh...My...GOD.. When I saw who was the author of this thread, my jaw just absolutely hit the floor. I cannot believe I am about type this name.. ETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not seen you in-game or talked to you since probably 2003...I am seriously in shock right now...MEGA shock! For those of you who do not know, Etropic was staff in Devastation during 2001-2002. At one point, he held an smod position alongside myself. In addition to being an excellent staffer, he was one of Devastation's best dogfighters (especially in a warbird), a fellow squadmate of mine on -Obsidian-, and a good friend. He was also one of the most well-respected people in Devastation's community (especially by me) for buying, paying for and maintaining the devazone.com domain of his own accord and facilitating a unique web-based iden!@#$%^&*y for Deva. That was the best, most visited website and forums this zone ever had, in my opinion (which existed from 2002-2003). Unfortunately, the domain expired and he disappeared from the zone and game and (I thought) had left forever (as most Deva players did) right before it died in 2003. Anyway.. Wow, what is up, man?!?! Last I heard years ago you were still spinning records as a professional DJ. Are you still doing that? Just so you know, Etro, Devastation was brought back up in late 2005 by XDOOM, SOS, and myself on Altec's SSCB server. It has had its ups and downs since then, but has managed to once again develop a great, close-knit community of committed players. The highest point was in late 2006 when it hit 31 players. We then went on to have maybe the best consistent population surge the zone has seen since November/December 2000 during December 06/January 07. The zone was hitting 20+ nightly during that time. When people returned to work/school/college/etc. after the brief Christmas break, the population took a dip, but it still hits 10+ nightly and there is still plenty of fun to be had. Unfortunately, Altec (longtime Devastation player and host) has once again ceased hosting and quit the game earlier this year, giving us no choice but to move to the SSCI server. On the brighter side, there have been more ideas presented as to how to make the zone better and more zone development in the last year or so then there ever was. I really wish you'd drop in once in awhile Etro, even if it is only for a few minutes. Your presence in Devastation is greatly missed by myself as a player and staffer. I have not forgotten what you did for the zone and our community. Quote
»SOS Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 Woot! I almost remember you. See you in the zone! Quote
Hakaku Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Tm's post was like Deva's history in 2 paragraphs, I think it's fair since he could've probably wrote more And hola Psycho Drone Quote
XDOOM Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Heya etropic, you should come back and play some. Quote
etropic Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 What's up guys? Wow, TM... you have a good memory Ya, I bounced around SubSpace a bit in the early days of 98, before VIE went south. After that dropped out I left for a bit and one day bounced back on some revised servers and came accross deva. There is something about a small group of people getting together for a common goal (having some fun) and pulling off just some awesome flag wars Deva was always my favorite. Well layed out maps, good guys to hang with... always fun. I don't remember why I left (actually I think things started falling apart for a little while as to who was doing what when with who's permission)... I still talk to SG and Ketchup^ all the time. We had a WoW clan for a while named....wait for it.... Obsidian. That was a lot of fun for a while... but of course the rest of life is knocking on the door and it was time to move on again... I read another thread on this board with someone mentioning a bunch of players... it was fun to hear all the names again. Maybe I'll have to stick my nose in for a while and see what's up... but give me a head start... I'll be a little rusty (Or is it like riding a bike? you never forget?) etro Quote
XDOOM Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 I think its like riding a bike, I still know how to put my fingers in the right spots on the keyboard ... but my problem is my keyboard layout has changed so the home/end/del/insert keys are in the wrong spots! I honestly don't actually play much, I just spec and make sure the zone stays up. tm does all the real work playing with everyone and making sure everybody is happy. Quote
