I've played Ansalon on and off for almost 20 years at this point. It's been a long time since I played regularly (maybe 5 years or so), but in the past few months I've come back to it and am just having a blast.

The player base ebbs and flows, but I've seen lots of familiar faces since I've come back (and even more new ones). The staff has always been great and the players that have stuck around (or are coming around for the first time) are great people. The world itself is just awesome. I've seen it grow from stock ROM areas to interesting original content with tons of really fun code tweaks.

There's obviously a learning curve - but everyone is helpful enough that this curve gets eliminated pretty quickly. I really can't say how happy I am to be back and to see that RP is happening, the world continues to change, PK is generally getting back up with some pretty great RP (and is optional for anyone concerned), and that the things I love about the game have not only continued but improved.

I also want to just thank everyone who makes it possible (and I know you're not doing it alone Dave - but thanks for keeping everything alive).
