Sonic, you pump me up! I agree with you on so many levels, and I agree, having seen so many veterans abruptly leave in the last year or so, that there is a time and place for everything, and unfortunately eGO isn't so much the place anymore.
That being said, you are also 100% correct that there are still a lot of great people that have constantly been good players, admins, advisers, and even if over the interwebs, friends.
Gonna miss having you around buddy! hit me up anytime in Steam if you are playing any servers, and I'll join up for some Shenanigans!
