The Elders are pretty actively recruiting right now. Recently, I regularly visit different areas and post a recruitment message. And I have to say, Galtrev is my favourite as most evenings I get responses from people, always friendly and usually making me laugh - and making recruitment (a bit dull!) actually quite fun. But tonight's was priceless and so I captured the chat for your entertainment.

To Regional: 'Are you grey-haired and grumpy? Do all these youngsters rushing around make you feel old and exhausted? Would you like to spend your game time with people like yourself?'

Hip Replacement of the First Age!! Most epic comment *ever*. It's still making me giggle
I can't believe no-ones added to this.
Reasons I love Gilrain:-
Its where I popped my MMPORG cherry
Its where I was taken under the wing of people from other countries who showed me the ropes (you can't get that kind of schooling in many places)
It's where I got introduced to the Dark-Side almost 5 years ago and stared at all these creep choices and thought, "hmmm an eight legged groove machine sounds a bit sexy"
It's where I had a bit of an on-line "fling"
It's where home & heart is.
It's where unbeknownst to many a freep I've saved their ### from a whooping by rooting them before they got Zerged.
It's a place with infamous friends & 'famous' enemies
