Nice read there Ash. Thanks. I pretty have been on this server my whole play time, and first really started running true 8man's in Tribulation (much love to all my former Trib friends!) when I rolled Suffocate after Zapage showed me a demonstration. We ran bomb groups like V23 of course not with the same amount of success, but we did well none the less, and after that I truely understood the thrill, rush and challenge of 8man. Also it's nice to see you be honest about Carnage. I became a member after Gnomos's computer fried, I was only getting in the occasional RZ3 (think that was guild's name with BigPink and Raszagale[sp]) which I always had a blast with them. Carnage had some really good people that were not only good people to play with but where also great players. The VN drama took away from people seeing that unfortunately. After Carnage died Oxnor invited me into Attrition which IMO from the guilds before and since that I've been in really had some incredible game chemistry. I think I was the highest RR at like RR7 and I still was pretty green myself, which totally changed after playing with Ganieer another SM. I realized later how much I passively learned without even realizing it. This guy if he still played would hands down be the best SM on this server. I learned SO much playing with attrition and having to make everything count as we always were outranked by other dedicated 8mans at the time. This is when I think 8man was rockin with the most 8mans from all realms actively playing. After Attrition was to early demise due to people having to fufill RL obligations and no longer able to play, I again was lucky to be invited to Lemmings right as it formed thanks to many of the people from Attrition were members in it. That guild was definately the most dominate guild I've been in. Ran the prototypical 8man group, Pac healer, Aug healer, shammie, skald, SM, RM , Warrior, Zerker. With most of us being from Attrition and having to fight battles tooth-and-nail due to being out ranked most of the time with combined the other members who simply knew how to play the game it all meshed. Good people who were good players. Simply couldn't ask for more. Got to play and know alot of other good people from others guilds and other realms thanks to Lemmings.

Thanks for that post Ash, I'm sure it has some other people remember back the days played, both good and bad, and people you played them with, which lucky for me were 99.9% only good people. I really think thats what I miss most from the Lemmings days. Even if you didn't have a true guild group going, you not only could fill it with a good player, but that good player was good people. I think that probobly applied across all the realms for that little bit of time as there always seemed to be a group or two out from each realm setting up fights with each other. Everybody seemed to enjoy playing with each other which could only be explained why PUG's were so easy to put together among all the realms 8mans guilds to always keep 8man not only competitive, but as a bonus just fun as well.

Anyway, again nice read Ash, and as you see you made me have to check to see if I had something burning in the kitchen before I relized it was just me throwing coals on the furnace in my brain to remember days gone by.

OMG I'm gonna cry. I'm so choked up right now...give me a minute I'll be ok...I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to play I'm so emotional right now...deep breaths...

Ok, done being corny.
