Hey all,
I finally dragged myself back to EQEmu after way too long away—life's been a grind, but Norrath was always my escape, the one constant pulling me home no matter how many years passed. I fired up the launcher, heart racing like it was my first login in '99, ready to lose myself in those familiar zones again.
Then... the server list loaded. And my two favorites? Gone. Vanished. Just empty spots where home used to be.
It's not just "servers down." It's my childhood ripped away. Thousands of hours poured into those worlds—raids at dawn with friends I haven't spoken to in a decade, but we'd pick up right where we left off. Epic loot drops that felt like winning the lottery. Late-night whispers in guild chat that got me through the darkest days. My characters weren't pixels; they were me, frozen in time, waiting faithfully while I chased real life.
Now? Nothing. Heartbroken doesn't cover it. I'm shattered, gutted, staring at a black screen that echoes with silence. Tears hit before I even realized it. My forever game—the one I always came back to—is dead. What am I supposed to do now?
Please, if there's any mercy left in this world... bring them back. Let this nightmare blow over. I just want to go home one more time.
