Greets - old MPBT players

Posted 18 November 2011 - 02:54 PM
I started in 1997 in MPBT: Solaris (AOL) and then moved to the Gamestorm server and played until 1999, though I kept my accounts until EA bought it out and shut it all down. Like TC Dragonmaw, I will NEVER buy an EA game because of the way they killed Battletech and so many other great games.
When I retired in 1999, I was Sho-Sho Kaji Ryu, Benjamin Military District, DXO under my best friend Warlord Cobrath Henobe.
I miss my Catapult and I miss all my friends in HK! I came from the days with Rude Rich as House Leader, Kanrei Skies as HXO, then Roller as HXO and then Tarl Cabot as HXO. I dabled a bit with 3025 and ISW, but it just did not have the feel for me that MPBT did. I have kept in touch with TC Dragonmaw ever since the gamestorm days and we have played other games together with me in Dragonmaw with him.
I am hoping that the resurrection works this time and I'll be done with college by the time it rolls out and will have the time to play!

I played with the Kuritans for a little while, I was Rooster <HK> with the 8th Rasalhauge Regulars if I remember right. AceJohn was my lance leader.
Then I went back to being a Lyran, I don't remember why I switched houses in the first place.

No wheelchair yet Tono; you must be speaking for yourself. <VBG> I am getting ready for retirement however, from real life work, so I can concentrate on my games I enjoy. Of course along with my deep sea fishing. Good to see you are well Tarl.

I'll also try to get in touch with Grey. Last I spoke with him, he was all grown up, graduated college, married and teaching. Hard to believe I've known him since he was 14 years old. Steeldragon and I keep in touch also, so I will inform him as well. I might even have some old email addresses for other friends from MPBT that I will have to dig up and see if they still work =)
/tackle hugs Tarl ... sorry can't resist! Long time no see my friend =) I hope you have been well and life has been prosperous for you. If having two precious grandchildren makes me old, that's okay with me! I'll still kick but in a mech tho don't you worry!
Kaji & Cobrath... way back in the day!!
Kaji today... kicking *** in SCA... this is my bad *** face =)

Zephyr
Black Roses
(legging mechs 2 points at a time with my trusty DRG-1C)
Black Roses!, we had a ton of fights with you all, do you remember the merch group ~Slayers~, Was me RAINMAN, Lady Dragon, Templar, Dragon Knight, and Sonoma. Was a lot of fun, have not been in a mech in a long time.
