For me, Epic is the consolidation of a lot of things.
It provides a massive companionship I always lacked while I played. I had friends galore but only 4 who really cared if I succeeded at a task or not.
In this group of five, Madmanmark77, Roadrage77, Dnn and Discovampire and I, we laughed together, cried together and shared hopes and dreams. When real life claimed 2 of us, it left a real hole in our playing time. Then the third was forced to leave and Disco and I were alone until we were joined by her friend Vim.
Our different playing times cut into our fellowship but not enough to spoil our friendship.
Then I met Troi.... most of you have heard the story of that meeting so I won't repeat it but it was a changing point in both my real life and my game life.
I joined Epic at his invitation [which is why I know the invite system will work] and b4 I knew it I had thrown my heart into the life and welfare of the clan.
Where before I played this game as an escape from real life, now I was playing to meet and help my friends.
My cup ran over with joy when Disco joined me in Epic and Vim's popping in was the icing on the cake.
What does Epic mean to me?
It means Friendship, Acceptance, and a chance to use my abilities in a way that benefits all my new friends without sacrificing my time with my old friends.
What are my dreams for Epic?
A developement of true fellowship among the members [even if we lose a few members in the process] to promote the maturing of each and every person, both as an individual and as a player; A slow but steady growth as a caring respectful family unit; and each of us developing the ability to laugh at ourselves.
