[Messiah]

While it's sad to see yet another IN shard go down, at this point it's not so much about the shard but more so about the community we have formed in the 10+ years alot of us have put into this. I have always said IN will never die, while I may stand corrected in the sense of a shard, the IN community always lives on and we always have that flash of nostalgia when we play the game but let's face it, UO is an old game and being that the variety of games and technology has changed drastically in the time that IN was in it's absolute prime, it's hard for anyone to maintain interest in it anymore, players and staff included. Alot has also changed in reality for us all too, I was coming out of high school when I first played IN, now im nearly in my 30's, it's been a wild ride but for the investment of time needed it's near impossible to replicate the glory days of IN with any shard. What we need to remember are the times this game has given us, we were one of the first generations of MMO gamers before it was spoilt by the likes of things like WOW etc, we are the true defination of a gaming community, *****ing, whining and backstabbing included but let's be honest, it's not so much about playing the game anymore, its more about the people you play it with and i'm damm proud to be apart of this community, and while we may or may not see each other at Brit bank or Mt Kendall in the future, IN will always live on because you all know you are just gonna keep coming back to these forums to reminise with the same glorious bastards you have been for the past 10+ years.

Have a nice day
