I used to play CF years ago. A friend of mine in college showed me and a few others the game. We played in the days of Pico, Twist, BoltThrower, Cador and Scarabaeus. Hell I remember the game when it was Tar Valon and New Thalos. Back in those days Battle was at war with the Tower and Shadow was the coolest thing around. But those days are long gone and most of the good people were run off years ago.

Every now and again my friends and I log on in between other games and real life issues and try and get bask some of that nostalgia. But it’s clear the people who run the game these days want nothing to do with that.

I remember when they put pera-grouping in the game and tried to label people with that just as a quick and easy way to get rid of some people. But no one really took it serious because it was a stupid rule then and it still is.

That is one of the things this game used to gut the friend element out of the game. It would seem that the only people that should play this game are the shut in who has no friends other than those on-line.

I guess I have had enough this time, maybe my play style is that of a dinosaur and has no place in this game today. Years ago I would post something more like this: “I AM GOIN TO CON DEATH ALL YOUR CHARS AND GANG RAPE ALL YOUR FRIENDS”, but I guess I have changed as well.

Hell maybe I just killed and looted his lowbie.
