Welcome back Dell, and I am happy to see you have overcome a dark period in your life. Sorry I could not be around at that particular time a break was happening but in the end you came through.
In the almost 9 years here I have often seen people go trhough various stages, the optimism of childhood being replaced by rebellion, followed by despair when the world turns out not to be made for your wishes to come true. It is after overcoming this phase that the childhood charater returns, and life becomes more stable. Unfortunately most player have by then burnt their bridges and while they may occasionally think of how they wasted their time talking to people from all over the world, not many have the ability to return and show they have grown and left behind their bad phase.
The first one we know did this was a scripter and ally, later foe, of the first hour. He was part of the initial attacks we had to suffer. A couple of years later Aragorn received a fully unexpected apology mail wher he remebered the good times and hoped we could forgive the bad times.
Many have followed, some are still here while others went back to keeping their life together.
Time will tell what you will do, but it is good to know that the original Dellstorm has surfaced back. If you do not have my new Skype, PM me.
