That, and the ale. And fish 'n chips. Certainly not for the shepherd's pie. Or the lack of a sun.

On a related note, I was just informed that my UK visa has been approved. Huzzah! The application process was awful. Sallie Mae's customer service department consists of a series of prerecorded messages and one gibbering imp of a man who delights in answering my questions with completely unrelated references to sections of his website that are perfectly obvious to any literate person with a mouse. If my question could be answered by the FAQ, I'd not have HACKED YOUR EFFING PHONE SYSTEM to speak with you! *stomps around the room like Godzilla*



...Ehm, thank you all for the kind welcome. I promise not to break anything.

How very nice to have yet another!

Am I waiting on someone to contact me about becoming a Trial Member, or is someone waiting on me?

Yes, someone will be in contact tomorrow.

Can't believe I didn't welcome you, for shame. Must have missed this thread in the turbulance of the week. Well, anyway, name says it all, really. Wilhelm von Idelau, avid roleplayer, fellow trialist, never played Darkfall and am purely in it for Mortal Online.

Lovely quote, by the way. Actually saved it onto my computer.

Heya mate jump into our ventrilo server when youhave a moment, will get you registered :)

Always good to see someone who finds Wessex and thrills at it for all the right reasons, and reminds us all why it's unique. Welcome to it.

Many apologies for the runaround. I've been trying to figure out how to get my desktop across the Atlantic, but it just doesn't look possible with my current funds -- so I likely won't be able to play Mortal 'til this time next year. My current laptop is wonderfully portable, but is lucky to run anything bigger than iTunes.

You seem a fantastic organization, and I'd absolutely love to be part of it when I can play MMOs again. Until then, best of luck! Just knowing that you exist has revived my hope for the MMO genre, and nerddom in general.

I'll leave you with an appropriate tidbit I came across in my reading today:


"Alongside the warlike king (and he did not vanish), a peace-loving and humble king was being constructed: potentia remodeled by religio. The philosopher-ruler lived again in Francia, and in Wessex."
-J.L. Nelson



...and my favorite medieval quote:

"... and he [Louis XI] made a vow to God in my presence never to have intercourse with any other woman but the queen; and though this was no more than he was bound to do by the canons of the church, yet it was much that his self-command should be so great . . . considering that the queen (though an excellent princess in other respects) was not a person in whom a man could take any great delight."
-Philippe de Commynes

Although it saddens me to see you go I must thank you for notifying us. Also, your enthusiasm, as everyone has said is a great reminder and a fresh breathe of air if I may say so myself.
Best of luck in all your endeavors and hopefully we can meet again, perhaps in the near future.

No need to sound so gloomy you all. We will still be here by the time he sorts out his future rig. That at least is the plan!
