I found this and thought this would bring back memories of when everyone started the game.
I first heard about AA through a Time magazine article. I started playing around version 1.9. So many people playing back then, everyone fighting to get into the "good" servers. I joined a clan back then, =SouthPark=. I was the only American in a German clan! LOL! We ran several servers, including a TWL server. Those were the days. Our clan had over 50+ members at the time. I would have to get up very early so I could play with my clanmates. I made some very good friends, who I still keep in touch with today.
Well, 2.8 came along and the clan started to dissolve. A lot of the members did not want to upgrade, and the clan fell apart. The next couple of years I clan hoped from =[316]=, @SS, UcG and then the 82nd.us. It was during my time with @SS that the whole bottom of AA fell out with the shutting down of the authorization server. We tried holding the clan together and playing different games, but it wasn't to be. It would be awhile till I found about ASSIST. And now....even ASSIST is falling apart.
I will play as long as there are servers and people who want to play, but not sure how long that will be. I did discover some 2.8.5 servers still around, some people playing COOP (Bot) maps. We have tried to make a go of that, but again we only have a few die hard fans.
I will stick with the 82nd till Shad shuts it down, after that I am not interested in Clans. The day of the Clans is gone. Gaming is just not like it use to be.......sad.
