It was the afternoon of July 28, 2006.
After having been preparing for a couple of weeks to reach the opening date of August 1, everything was ready. As it was Friday evening, we decided all was ready to open. After all why wait if we already reached the targets we wanted.
And so at 18:00 we opened for public. All founders were present, Aragorn, Legolas, Sauron and Gandalf. It was soon after the first visitors appeared. And the news spread very fast that a new RPG server was present.
Within days a regular group of people were playing. And the envy started, as well as attempts to close us down.
Since then a lot has changed, and things have stayed the same. We still follow our path, and our ideas even if they are a bit different from others. We are still free for all to play, without extorting our players to buy virtual items with real money. And we are still attacked by those who we have to expell because of their own behavour. Still people spread the most ridiculous rumours, and assure their friends that we are not going to make it any further.
We could care less about what others think, as we do this our way. We are not in it to make money, if we were things would be very different. We are not a bunch of kids who give up when things need extra work.
We are here to bring enjoyment to anyone who wishes to play here, and looking at the community many people still do. Even those who were gone for some time come back to enjoy and revive their old memories, even if they find themselves in a different world as the one they left.
Everything changes, and we also change. For some that is good, for others not. But time never stops, and today can never be yesterday and will never be tomorrow. There is one thing that is sure. As long as we like to have fun and provide a fun place for others, Argonath shall exist. And if we and our members can manage it, it might even exist long after we are gone.
The future is something nobody knows. But one thing is sure. No attackers, hackers, or motherfackers can stop us.
