I’ll do you one more.
What made me see that?
Among other things, the response to this:
You could make the argument that some of it isn’t real - that’s very possible. But it also made me think about all the times someone said something positive my way or the nice chats we’ve had (generally in the forums as at the time out of the people here I only had Puny and Dunkiee as a friend outside of the forums and I hadn’t discovered that Esrin, whose name was super familiar but I never understood why, was actually my guildmate 
)
Just one of many responses. Not only did they remember you, they were happy to see you 3 years later.
So I ask you:
While you may not win popularity contests, are you absolutely sure people don’t exactly like you here? The only person who’s being mentioned and remembered like this is Brigante. Maybe even Daestra, occasionally. I don’t know either of them at all, yet their names I do know. Think I remembered yours too but I wasn’t sure so I didn’t say anything myself.
