A memorial epic

Hi, I am Swish I used to be a frequent player of Illarion. I left without ever saying good bye. So this is like my story how I started to play Illarion. Old players, my popular char is Ssafar Zakarrr.
Here goes...
It all started when a friend of mine told me to go to this website and said it was the best game ever. I am like sure whatever and I came to this website looking for you know the regular type of game where you shoot people, kill stuff and move on to next level and so on. When I read the main page of the website I kinda of figured out it was something more. But I never read instructions nothing. I registered and took the test, new players we used to have a test for RP, suprisingly I passed. I logged on and you know I didnt know OCC or #me or anything cause like I said I didnt read anything. Then one guy I forgot his name, omg this is really bugging me what was his name!, taught me step by step. I soon learned good RP. It was so much fun. As time passed it became much more exciting. I still remember the quests where the server would crash right in the middle and 20 something players, i am confident every single one, would either keep refreshing the server status page or refreshing online player list, I do not know if this happens anymore but back in the old days if server crashed everyone would be logged of but you would still see yourself as logged on in the online list so if you kept refreshing and when server reset it would say 0 players online and thats when you know your good to play. I remember all the quests I did. One was the fighting match my partner was Arameh. I won a key which was supposed to be for a treasure but the GMS kept postponing and then I left and I guess it's forgotten. There was this dragon quest which was alright but after that I got turned into a cow! And then I got turned into a golem once. I still remember the lizard city we were building uhm, Taliss and some other person that I forgot.
Then it happend...
One bright day when the sun was out, well I dont know if it was a bright day or if the sun was out you know I am spicing it up, the staff decided to let people in without the RP tests. And thats when it happend. Every week constantly old players would start leaving cause they would get sick and tired of..."how do you attack in this game oh never mind I got it...*dies* damn it how do I come alive again?" Well this continued, by like 2 months most if not all of the old players left a few remained. This is the time Illarion changed. I am not blaming the staff they only did this to increase amount of players and I admit it was boring havinng 12 people all the time. Many scream at the staff but I for one say they didnt mean it and some good came out of what they did like new players but lot left thats the bad part. I logged on a few weeks ago and saw new players. RP has changed like anything. They say shit??? And I miss the old player's RP. But the new players are not to blame, I mean like when I started game I could learn from the amazingly great RPERS but since most of them are gone they really dont have people to learn from. Who knows maybe in the future some will return and maybe things will be better. I can't say enough thank yous for the illarion staff and all the players for making my experience here great. And for all those times if there was a bug or a glitch or some sort of error, when you threw your real life and sleep just so we can play again, thanks for that too. I WILL COME ON OCCASIONALLY.(SO DONT DELETE ACCOUNT OR ANYTHING PLEASE)
Many new players will come but I doubt all of them will ever understand the great game called Ilarion. They won't understand RP or what makes this game so great, which is something that can't be explained but only be recognized when you play. A decent amount will come to this game looking for shooting and levels sort of game. When I grow much older and I remember my childhood, Illarion will be a big part of it. I thank you for that Illarion staff. *tears nah just kidding I am not that emotional*
Illarion, in my book, the greatest game ever programmed/made.
Thank you all.
*thinks of all the good times...realy does get a tear*
