Any of the old Vets still around?

Kezza

I played since release, so probably started in March/April last year. However I cancelled in January as I got fed up, but Im amazed to see so many names that I recognise still playing, I salute your perseverance! SMILEY

FA is still here and going strong. Ask around about our get-together last night. Heh.
Phrog, I was a Stratics staffer for a short amount of time, remember? I remember Kaltren and Mendel purposely didn't get me a Beta spot because they wanted me to report from a non-Beta POV (as to not break any NDA) and then saw me in MxO like the second week and were like "crap".
Luna, you're still here?!

You're right. Man, I forgot all about that. I specifically remember being told not to tell you that the three of us were in though. Something about the big faction and how you were likely to spill stuff... lol

I was pretty displeased with the way a lot of things were handled by Mendel/Kaltren back then. And don't get me started on Mendel's wife... anybody remember her from Stratics #MxO? Actually managed to drive Eris and some of the other Lith staffers out of the room permanently by just in general being a nutcase. She's part of the reason I just quit one day. Weird, but I can't even remember her name now. People who are the head OP of IRC chat rooms and take that as an excuse to lord over people are just sort of pathetic.

It's so strange that less than two years later, none of them are around at all. The last update on the Stratics site for a very long time was the SOE transfer. Heck, the poll there has been the same since that was announced.

Remember the Matrix Fests, where we all watched the films in sync with each other and talked about it as it went?
I miss that place... being able to log-in at pretty much any point during the day and having it be at least somewhat active. Those were good days.

**Satta**

I miss Meduna and Valentina. SMILEY

**Aelus**

I been around since before beta. Noone's really known me that well, though.
I was Sius pre-launch, Sius5 for months, and now Aelus

Hey, cool to see so many of you old cool folks still around. Phrog what happened to you? you kinda disappeared one day, i don't think i ever saw you in the Retail game. Of course i remember you from Stratics (you were a news poster on the *dead* forums).

Tbone how's it been man, good to see oyu still around, hope all that hate from back in the BETA days is gone SMILEY

Hey garu i still check out TC forums every now and again, would be great to meet up with you lot in game again sometime bring back some great old memories, i'm like level 2 SMILEY

(i gave my original account to Mek after he got banned heh). Oh btw, i was Forgotten on the collectives list of unforgotten *sob*.
Satta too, it's been a while eh? were kinda out of touch (me and the collective folks) but i do miss chatting and hanging out with you guys. Sorry for the way i left, i was a little angry at your decision back then, (you know what i'm talking about) but looking back i shoulda stuck with you. The game got real boring, real quick without you all.

Luna, of ocurse i remember you (mainly from the IRC chat) i don't remember if we ever met in-game though, sorry it's been a long time yeah but definately not forgotten.

Crimsonite, aha. I still remember way back to that day where Major PvP battles were going on in Stamos (is it called that?) and you were kinda hunting me down for ages.

O-link, i posted in your forums the other day asking about you SMILEY

wanted to say hi and stuff.

And to everyone else i know/know's me, good to see ya all.

**Rovmanx**

Just to add (*cough*we need an edit feature*cough*). I remember meduna and valentina, meduna was welll..... perma "Speed Boosted" and valentina, well she showed us the Dark Side remember SMILEY

, Val was cool anyhow.

Adonai was pretty cool, was a good guy. He made the mistake of forming Viral Vendetta with Mek, Me, Psyidelicos and Sm0ke, didn't do his Reputation much good SMILEY

I remember Ras too, from the IRC channel not the game.
Many people who knew me back then knew that i prefered IRC chatting with all us crazed Matrix fans mroe than the game itself. This game was never any good, but the community was fantastic.

What's up Rovman. You know the vets of TC are still here. I have been here since Feb. 2004 as Poizoniv for anyone that remembers. I turned Sattakan when I got into Beta September 04.
I cannot believe it has been that long.

Me neither. I was here when Satta was PoisonIV and Garu was Garutachi. Back in the times when Razor911 first offered Satta the application to join the collective.

I'm still around. It's good to see that some things don't change.

Hey tbone, don't feel bad about not getting a beta key from stratics, they wouldn't give me one because i wasn't from the US.

Ah well, i got a WoW beta key from them then never went back SMILEY

I've had MXO since it was released although I haven't been playing it for about as long, I played for a few months and had to stop due to financial problems. Now I'm wonderin, should I make the effort to come back, is the game still something I would like?

I did? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I'm not a fan of PvP. Then again, it was beta.

Also, I'd like to point out that I've seen Sneaker floating around somewhere (I think he was even at the SOE block party, though I may be wrong). I've also seen Seraya log onto the forum a few months ago, and I think she even posted once or twice.

-Collbard-

I was on the forums since the Ubi days, but I never got into beta until I preordered...they just didn't care about me I guess. Anyway, even when I got into beta, i found out my machine couldn't handle the game...but yea..

beta -> enumerator -> vector

Wow N-Tell you remember that? I almost joined RIP. *Shudders*

Back before beta TC members used to post back to back in every thread similar to how Musutangu and Venatrix do today. Those were great times. TC has alot of vets from before beta. Guys like Seraosha, Sneaker, VidGamer (Remagdiv), Dasein, Garutachi, JacobiB, AGTWeezer, Seraya, Fallen Angel Eyes, Sybarite, Verlaine. Early beta we got Sugaree, Alysha, Lucen, Illyria, Nospoon, Deception, Sybarite, Upstream, Merin, Cryptoh, Mek, Rovman, Psychedelicos, BioHazard, Tesi, Aoife.. After live we got Calliente, Melt, Darkmitz, Roukan, etc... too many for me to name and I still left out alot of people.

Still out of all my experience in this game I love the archive wars the best. I have never had so much fun, despite the final night of beta. Having 4 full TC teams in the archive and back then each team could hold 8 people and taking on everybody was da bomb. I miss people like Darbacour, and Meduna who were fixtures in the archive, and Meduna's permanent speed bug. She looked like a lightning bolt running across the screen. For all you new people who came since live you have never seen anything move that fast.

Ah the memories. SMILEY

End of Beta => Input - Hostile => Vector - Hostile

**Sneaker**

Yep, I'm still around. I wasn't at the block party though, since Tuition takes presidence over plane trips.

But, I try to hop ingame a couple times a week for some good ol combat. I do love my sniper/patcher build.
