I remember when RO was still in its glory days. An age of 2Manny's and Sniper Group servers. I was 12 at the time.
It was the days of [-I-] and {CoreNA} dominating NA clans and rivaling each other, when cc// was just starting to play RO.
RTR's servers were the best. 24/7 Arad/Ogledow for the tankers and the awesome infantry server. Also, 2Manny's and Sniper Group were the hangouts too.
When one of the most awesome guys I know, Mein Teil, had his old =213= clan running strong.
A time when Lemur dominated the battlefield with his superior K98 skills and Amerikaner and Chambers were always right there to back him up.
******(looks like they blocked his name out but we all know who the ZB was) was still actually playing and not ****ting on everyone's servers.
A time when all I wanted was to get into CoreNA even though I sucked.
It makes me sad when I think of all those times. They were so good.
I can remember just pubbing and all there was NA clan guys on maps other than Danzig.
Jagermeister, MrPutz, meatsim, toiletduckie, Paulski , and all the rest before they became [TK] and were still [CiA/CoR].
Munk, Blaz, Monstar, and the rest from [-I-]
Gooseman, Mr.Kong, Lemur, Amerikaner, Chambers, Ender, Bloodnok, Sightburner, Totenkopf, Death to Pigs(after he left RTR), and the rest in {CoreNA}
Exitwounds, Redeye, Death To PIgs(when he was still with them), when lt.crazy was a private, and all the rest of the guys in <RTR>
Mein Teil, Deeival, Foogleman, Jaako, and all the rest in =213=
Alot, of you probably remember them and alot of you don't. Some still play, others don't.
Iron Crescendo when Lemur's pal MoFo still ran it. Xarchon and Koondrad ran the russians.
Santini led the Germans. That is where I met some of the coolest guys.
EvilHobo, Sichartshofen(Sichardt), himmelstoss, Gottenberg, ultraZ, Ramrod, Lobo, Vonreuter, SnaggyDuck, Hamburgerphil
Then my russian adversaries: Dheepan, Spyman8, Xarchon, Koolhan, Krull, BobCobb
The best of times man. the best.
I didn't play the mod but I hear from some of the guys that it was better than what I have experienced.(almost eveyone I play with was from the mod) I know I will miss RO. Hopefully a new game that TWI releases will be just as good as this was.
There were many others I didn't mention: Nebfer, Nimrod(known here as Nimsky), kapula, Crim who has become MIA(also know as {CoreNA}Sexcopter, the best roplayer ever), all the pT guys who have pwned me in servers over the years, Klaus, all the rest of the euro {Core}, Wasp from DBDUK, Pita, oh man just so many more.
Thank you for all the fun years guys. I really appreciate it.
