I'm one of the original community members joining christmas 2005 and was a full team member for a period of 5+ years. From 2006 until I semi-retired.
But I have still kept up on the development on the forums into the middle 2010's. And joined servers every release period I could. Still so proud of all we did. Proud to have been a lead beta tester, then PR manager/webmaster for a crucial portion of the history we were featured in magazines and print articles for our beta and coming out of beta releases. Rising to department lead in many ventures in my time.
Big shout outs to Enzo, Killermonkey and Fourtecks. And to Entropy-Soldier for keeping the team going, strong and still kicking even today! Huge efforts all.
RIP forever, Nickster.
