Yesterday, me and my best friend ended the reign of House Atreides.
House Atreides was a gaming clan we started in a game called freelancer. We started the clan two years ago as two noobs. We thought we were pretty good, but the next 6 months taught us how much we didn't know. Our goal when we started the clan was simply to try and take a system or two, and be respected. Little did we realise how much farther our clan would go...
I wont go into a detailed history of how we rose to power. But within 6 months of founding are clan wasn't only respected, it was one of only 3 clans to have reached the status of a "super-power" on the server we played. No other clan, except for the two other "superpowers" stood a chance against us, and even they couldn't stand against our 100% A team.
However, after two years and literally hundreds of battles (90% of which we won), we have dropped all our systems, and closed our doors. This moment was extremely sad for a lot of us. The people in this clan have become like an extended family for me. All of them are close companions that have enriched my life by untold amounts in the last two years.
I can seriously say, my life wouldn't be no where near as happy now if it wasn't for this game. Because of this Game and the Clan we started together, me and Kane became very good friends. I would actually say Kane is my best friend. Through him I've met a half dozen other people that have made my life so much better. Laura, Serena, Buff, Greg, Clive, Shelda, gosh even Logan and Morgan, without any of them my life now wouldn't be the same. I spend the majority of my time these days in the company of these people, and i wouldn't change it for a second. I love them all.
Its with a heavy heart i say goodbye to this game. People who say computer games are bad for you, don't know what there talking about. This game literally changed my life majorly for the better. It helped me get away from things that were dragging me down not to mention the countless hours of entertainment the game itself provided.
Goodbye Atreides. You've been good to me.

- Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for.

Freelancer may be over now, but Just because one game has ended doesn't impact the bonds we've made. Hell i'll be pwning noobs with you in other games later tonight =D
