End of Beta!

What a day that was! If the same thing happened today, if there were a Reset at the end of the day, would there be any bare ground left in all of Ur?

- Ah yes, fond memories of the end of beta parties that completely locked my system and crazy nearly last minute test Group Hall building (which I missed the building part, but got to run around some of them right at the end to dump my stuff...and hey, when are we getting these, BTW?!)...and then six days of watching and waiting until we were let back into the game all fresh and shiny (at least it says I got my ascended badge on 20 Sept), about a week before the big release and the floodgates were open for a while...
  I still remember taking a day off work for the day after reset, since from the time I got back in the game, I played 15-16 hours straight doing crazy amounts of mining so I could afford to get back into my old 30K Alakol house. We thought there'd be a mad housing rush and plotted for weeks during beta for the best strategies, and surprising my best friend in game and I were some of the first glitches in our neighborhood in Isalan Interval.
  Frankly, I still say that I'd love a reset, or at least the option, that was mentioned in passing, of being able to manually reset my character (for one of my alts). Still wish we had an option for group halls...hopefully they are still coming...
  And finally, wondering how many subscribers there will be soon with most all of the original beta subs expiring at the end of this month (~28th which is what they were all reset to upon the grand opening)...especially since there are currently no options to continue the subscription, while we have one...yea, think we've been waiting a while for that mechanism to be fixed too...but it's all good...

- Yes, the Beta Subscription issue has been ticking away at me as well. *panic*
  I spent the final hours of Beta in Hell with bazillions of other loons. I miss the crab countdown. I miss GNG and >POOF<
  The Great Cubimal March will live forever in memory.

- Memories, memories... Thanks, Brib Annie. I think for us crotchety old timers the game will never be as good as it was..."Back when I was young..."

- An exciting and joyful and bittersweet day that is fondly remembered.
  I'm chewing on my credit card, ready to renew for a whole 'nother year. *takes up sprint-ready position in the starting blocks*

- I remember leaving my Alakol Home for the last time. I walked out, looked back, sighed and then proceeded into Ur. I had a heavy heart as I left Dofsan Vex Qtr but that was soon lifted as I saw all the celebrations around the world. It was magical!
