Where to begin =x
First I started off on Classic (the only server at the time). This was back when everything sucked, including the levels. Like Avalon was just fugly placed under the overworld. Like it used to be on the mainland.
Over time I use agressive tactics to take a guild called Graal Royal Army. A pretty popular guild at the time, we fought the Venture Vampires and whatnot.
Then I started to go to Xonline a lot, I was following a girl named Celestia (probably my best friend at the time). That's where I met Missing Link Merai and Kawaii Saria and whatnot (Kawaii was actually an owner of Xonline at the time). I made a lot of good friends on Xonline including Outpost (former Valikorlian Admin, well known there) and Axel (if you dont remember Axel then you must be ***). On Xonline I also met a (b/w)itch that people called Undine, the self proclaimed Queen of Graal. Think an Etien, only worse (yes, worse). I suppose my first ammount of clout came when I defeated her on Xonline and Classic by swaying opinions. She went to Dino Land and they basicly banned her. Yeah, then they made 2k1 and I was reluctant to join it because everyone else was all 'OMG P2P ISH TEH GEHY'. I was one of those newbies with a sign post saying 'YOU CANT MAKE US PAY!'.
So I upgraded shortly after that. I got Axel to upgrade too. In the start we basicly just stayed in the admin house. That's where we met CheeToS, James, and.....(GAH WHAT WAS HIS NAME? SLYP? something like that?). Basicly I tried to enslave the bomies, because at the time it was crazy unbalanced with pearl diving (because 5 gralats was actually something back in the day). That failed. Around that time I was really hooked into The Godfather, so I made the Warhare Family. It kind of turned into a different kind of guild. I'll talk about it all when I quit or something. None the less, I joined Dustari and met Tupper, Gryffon, and Aftershock. I quickly rose through the ranks. Within a month I was a Duke, mainly because I owned 51% of Dustari's coffers. I suppose that's when I started to become well known.
I was hired for all the 2k1 jobs. At the time Kamuii was manager of 2k1 and King of Dustari, never really met him much
. I was selected Zormite Governor for Dustari, but it went wrong so I just conquered it instead. Became leader and blah blah blah.
I'm getting tired of writing. So basicly I made a lot of friends and got their help for my success. Basicly what shockedfrog's quote says. I also got jobs on a lot of servers doing work. A majority of my success dealt with being assertive, leadership, oldbie status, and I guess personallity? I dunno.
