I have so many good memories... and I hope to make a lot more....
I remember the first time I hit 50 on anything... it was my first character too, Crimson Samurai, a Katana/Regen scrapper. My roommates and I were so focused on getting me to 50 finally, I barely remember 46, 47, 48, and 49... Then when I finally hit 50, no one even noticed, not even me.. not until we all finished, and I didn't get anything for Mission complete XP... We all started died laughing.
I remember actually getting the MoSTF badge on my human-only Warshade, Umbral Samurai. Getting MoSTF was hard enough, but getting a human-only 'shade? You know, who're even squishier than blasters? I did it... I was so proud of myself for that... I wore that badge until the day the servers closed... I'd get tells from people asking me how I managed it, and in true hero fashion, I'd just say "Just lucky, I guess?".
I remember all the parties in Pocket D... The winter events (when they worked right, or even when they didn't...). I remember the day ED was released, and I went from being super regen to squish overnight, but we all got through it...
I'm so happy we're back... It's been a long time coming... and it's about time.
