terribly busy~
I will be writing about my Ambar life... so you can skip this part if you don't know Ambar. :P i just want to rant...
Registered 2001 for ambar forums, and i peeked into the secret first private forums of "Alimasag empire in Ambar" in alimasag forums.... reading it now... just hilarious. we were so clueless... this was back in July 2001. And how can i forget the much talked about criticism we got from all alimasag mods *sigh* so funny. can't brush off this laugh in my face, really. what? it's 2005 now? And i am still playing. Geeeesh. I didn't stop when everybody else got tired of it. I guess i was the only one left from the original cast. Taonggoy (multi realm=3), Devil's Advocate (multi realm=2), Kainam (multi realms=2), purpleosh (multi realms=2), Jokiny Dkny, Tinik, Segova (the first emperor Drakkar), Mecsicano, Avin, Eazy Ryder, and Makulit *that's me* (multi realm=3).... and those who have joined later on...Mokong, Joebruin, Bazoora (aka Razzy & Arkana), hyper, pakyoot, fangz, etc.... those i recruited from Ambar to Alimasag: pmo, marius, and others.... (only Bazoora is still addicted to Ambar as me, btw)
It's just crazy that i am still totally into it. I even designed and hosted a fan site: Towers of Ambar. and i am a moderator for the ambar forums as well: Ambar Forums aka: Reepicheep (my first realm with the alimasag empire was Narnia, leader name: reepicheep) and that's how i am known now: Reepi
Ambar still gives me the high after 4 years. Round after round after round. I don't think i've skipped a round before. Maybe a solo or a random on slow days, but i played most each round. Met different people from all over the world and can't believe that this game has made me more "global" in terms of perspective. It's really worthwhile to learn new stuff about different cultures each day.
I still do not understand up to this day why i wake up each morning knowing that i have a job to do as a mage, or see if any evil empire attacked my best realm or not. I still do not understand why i dream of MSN posts, realm news, empire news, forum posts and others... it's just outrageous and silly to really think about it. I still do not understand that up to this point..... i am still scheduling my life around ambar. I would probabaly not go out or schedule a weekend on an OOP weekend. or would probably drop everything for an OOP.
Funny thing too.... i sleep and wake up with ambar in mind. the game and the people i interact with. mostly the people i interact with really. not easy to separate the game with the people i play with... kinda developed a bond already and to some... i kinda have a relationship already. ingame or not, just funny how my life revolves around ambar. and silly, really. Aside from it being unreal, it's kinda foolish to let a game run your life.
So.. my life is funny. Stuck to this computer most of the time. Wasting time on it, rather than "honestly working" my ass off. Rather spend time with my MSN teammates than go out... or watch movies. I think i lost 4 years of my life already. But would i go whine about something that kept me sane for those 4 years? What would i be now if i wasn't so hooked to ambar? Different? Better? God only knows.... but then again.... does God play Ambar?
