What's Up? - Now and Then
« on: July 21, 2018, 11:47 AM »
Hey all!

It's not all too likely that anybody remembers me, but I used to be a regular on the old JO server back in the day - over a decade ago? Time sure flies.

Recently, I re-picked up JA on Steam during a sale a few weeks ago and finally had the chance to install it today. I had a blast getting to catch up with our lovely Rosh Penin and the "real" Luke Skywalker.  ;)

In the rush of nostalgia, I recalled the fond memories I made playing with you guys during those early years. I made a Google search to see if I could still find this forum, and to my surprise, I did! I even managed to log into this account, which laid dormant for these past eleven years or so.

During that absence, so much has changed. Back when I was playing, I was just a kid - and I still am now at the age of 23. Between now and then, I reached puberty, graduated middle school, high school, college, moved out and got a job. I relocated from Arizona to Texas and am working as a software developer.

I wanted to reach out and see how your lives have changed since those yesteryears.

So you, who still visits this forum, how are you, old friend?

Hey Miketri! I remember you. Glad to hear things are going well!

Funnily enough you're the second guy to return as a software developer this past month. I'd love to know how many went on to pursue that as a career.

I guess it was only natural considering how much time we spent on the computer  ;D

To be honest, I'm surprised that you guys remember me, because I can hardly remember anyone at all LOL

However, I do remember Rinky... or at least I think that's what I used to call him... ???

It'd be great if we could all get back in game sometime.

You had many names for me... most of which can not be repeated in this family-friendly environment  :P

Any of you guys have Steam accounts or any other ways of getting in touch?
