Greetings, and well-met adventurers of Shards of Dalaya! I am completely new to SoD (ok, I haven't even made a character yet, still patching, and reading the forums while I wait), but played Live since before the first expansion (back when the SSoY was uber gear =P). I just wanted to express my budding excitement upon hearing about this new (to me), yet familiar Realm. I stopped playing Live for a long time, started playing the sequel (still do), and finally decided to make a come-back. After looking into the changed, the new expansions, the players, and personal experiences of friends (veterans and newbies to Live) I decided that I would never again set foot on that poor, broken world. I decided that I would hang on to the wonderful memories I had of my time there, and not let them be ruined by trying to reclaim what has been long since lost. With a heavy heart I walked away from it, only looking back on those fond times, wonderful friends, and epic challenge there once was. That was more than a year ago...
It was only yesterday (well, I suppose two days ago, almost 2am here) that I learned of Shards of Dela, Deliah, Delia... (of course, that got me nowhere on Google) from a friend over the phone. After about 2 hours of investigation I finally found this site (and the true spelling =P). I've already talked at least four friends into joining me on my new adventures in (what I hope) will be a wonderful new world, and that was just from reading the introduction, basic info on the site, the rules (which I drooled over, props to the Dev Team!) and becoming quickly addicted to Lore and the Forums here. *--As a side note, I despise Forums and have done my best to avoid them like the plague, that is, until now =)--*
Anyway, before these ramblings go too far I would like to graciously thank the Development Team, the players (old and new), and Live for creating this Realm and an opportunity to jump into, what I believe from what I have read, what Live should have been, and never will be.
If anyone has any helpful hints or can offer help in any way (friendship in-game, guild opportunities, or information) to a long-time and old-school Live player, it would be greatly appreciated. As I have not yet made a character, I will edit this post with character name(s) as soon as I can. I am most likely going to pick up old habits and start up a Ranger as my first character, so any information on changes to the class would also be extremely helpful, as it's been a long time, and I know that things work much differently here.
Thank you all once again, and hope to brave this new world sooner than it may be ready for =)
