Hello Arelith!
Old long-time player here! I've been poking around the server for the first time in a really, really long time. Long enough that I wanted to make an introductory returning-player post.
I used to play Nautilus back in the (old, old) days. I've also played many other characters under different logins who y'all may or may not remember, including but not limited to:
Proxy, the angry tiefling
Penrose, the slum-dwelling tattoo artist
Parthalon, the wanderlusting adrenaline junkie
If you played with of my characters, please reach out - I'd love to say hi!
I've barely scratched the surface of all the changes that have been made to the server in my absence. It feels almost brand new, which is super exciting and a little overwhelming. The devs have done an excellent job.
I'm hoping to shake the rust off and get back into the swing of things (though I am like, an adult now with a full time job, so the good old days of staying up until 5am RPing are probably sadly over.) Looking forward to seeing everyone in-game and meeting all the new folks!

Hi!
I've heard of Nautilus. There's a statue of him somewhere that I can't remember. Same Nautilus?

Re: Hello Arelith!
I can only assume so! I think there were statues of Nautilus and a few other Hoarrans in Minmir Falls, if that's the one you're thinking of.

I think so yeah, and they are old as heck in server terms. Might be the originals!KT28 wrote:I can only assume so! I think there were statues of Nautilus and a few other Hoarrans in Minmir Falls, if that's the one you're thinking of.

Holy crap. I know a whole bunch of people who will freak out at your return. We did not interact much, the two of us, but I am still very happy to see you back. Your quality of rp inspired many back in the day.KT28 wrote: I used to play Nautilus back in the (old, old) days.

Told you.
(Also, btw, I think back in Nautilus' day...I might've been playing Urebriwyn the wild elf, or one of my orogs, though I doubt you remember the name.)

Re: Hello Arelith!
Kuma! It's been a mindbogglingly long time! I was just reminiscing about Nautilus and the MageTrain(tm) the other day - those were really good times. I hope we run into each other in game soon, I'd love the chance to RP with you again.Kuma wrote:aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOUREBACKYOUREBACKYOUREBACK
Oh, you're Urebriwyn! I remember him - I always wished we could have RPed together more. I've heard nothing but glowing praise about your characters from everyone who's played with you.Borin Drakkmurl wrote:Urebriwyn the wild elf
Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen you around, yellow. Shaalira was a true gem to RP with; so glad to see you're still active!yellowcateyes wrote:Welcome back!
Yesss, Yma's still around! I'm really excited to hear about the characters you've cooked up while I've been gone. You were always able to express such depth through your characters with enviable ease. I hope we run into each other ingame too!Yma23 wrote:*Gleeful screaming intencifies*

Re: Hello Arelith!
Nautilus was a distinctly memorable character and one that, as a player, I greatly enjoyed observing. As others have said the quality of the RP was often inspirational, and I hope you find a similar motivation on your new character as you demonstrably had back then.
Naturally I also hope you enjoy the changes; we've definitely been busy since you left.

Re: Hello Arelith!
Thank you, Irongron - this means a lot! I fully attribute Nautilus' success as a character to the litany of excellent villains, allies, and personalities he met along the way. Honestly, I was a complete role-playing noob when I first rolled up the character. Through learning from excellent peers and role models (some of whom have appeared in this thread!), my eyes were opened to what roleplaying can be. I genuinely appreciate everyone I've had the privilege of learning from during my time on Arelith.Irongron wrote:Nautilus was a distinctly memorable character and one that, as a player, I greatly enjoyed observing.

And again, super looking forward to exploring all the new updates!

HI there, you don't know me, but I love your statue and it inspired me to play a Hoaran. <3 Hope to see you around ig. Look for the blue tiefling. Welcome back!KT28 wrote: I used to play Nautilus back in the (old, old) days.

Re: Hello Arelith!
Nautilus was the first PC I saw in ~44-45 AR when I first arrived here, and it contributed to my staying.
Re: Hello Arelith!
Would it be OK if I played a Hoarran Monk called Cuttlefish? Would that be too derivative?

I'm glad the statue could inspire someone! (If only I could remember much of this statue, my memory is actually embarrassingly horrible.) I'll keep an eye out for the blue tiefling!The Salt Elemental wrote:HI there, you don't know me, but I love your statue and it inspired me to play a Hoaran. <3 Hope to see you around ig.

Hello! Your username looks so familiar, yet I don't think we actually played together that much (I've had many-many a secret alt since Nautilus, but I don't think we've run into each other). I think maybe you played a pious halfling for a while? Hope we run into each other this time!InTheFlesh wrote:Nautilus was the first PC I saw in ~44-45 AR when I first arrived here, and it contributed to my staying.
I think the Hoarran police would arrest you for not being broody enough. Must be at least this broody to ride the Hoarran coaster.Dr. B wrote:Would it be OK if I played a Hoarran Monk called Cuttlefish? Would that be too derivative?

Penrose bled so much life into Lower Cordor. She really made the slums feel dirty and dangerous. Welcome back, can't wait to see what you come up with.
Re: Hello Arelith!
Hello there, yes I remember the name. I think various of my chars met Nautilus. Currently, I am playing in Bendir. Look out for Ivory (sadly since mid January I can't play much for health reasons, but I am getting better soonish!).
