Remembering Everwind

Okay, so this is leaping around a little. But I find that I spend a lot of time remembering Everwind, and it comes up a lot when you get talking with any old EWers. Towards the end, it wasn't so much a surprise to see the doors close, but I recall even then, I found myself looking back at a time when I knew more of the faces, and those that had been around at the beginning, those left, were few and far between.

I wasn't there at the very beginning, but long enough to be thought of one of the older timers.

First time I landed in Everwind the main TP was in the middle of the Forest. We were told to put on visitor tags or accept what happened if we left the safezone. I remember the first person I met in Everwind, wandering around the forest, completely lost, I met my first Orc, February Slade, he was nice enough to warn me OOC to NOT wandering into the swamp. Mind you, I didn't listen and ended up getting that horrible creepy feeling as I wandered further in and got lost among those phantom boulders and down right scared the first time I laid eyes on the ring of stones and portal to the Underworld. Now THERE was an Underworld you should be afraid of, and dead if caught down there and not a minion.

So I get to remembering and have to post this, cause there is a small glimpse of the Everwind I remember so fondly.
