Very nicely said Melchizedek!
10 years Air Force myself, E-5 here so I don’t get any of those Rank-has-it’s-privileges room to yourself when you’re deployed
However everything you said is 100% on the mark…I have several RL friends that I was stationed with at Travis AFB, CA that I played on EQ with. It is a great way to get together and keep in touch across the miles with people you enjoy.
Currently we are waiting for VSOH to be released and start on a whole new adventure together because EQ just isn’t the thing for me anymore and I refuse to start playing WOW.
