Hey all,
I was looking around the clan forums, its been awhile for me. The last time i even thought about rs, or the pure clan world, was probably well over a half a year ago. And what i came to see is more of a slump than ive ever seen in my life.
Anyway, as i was wondering, i see the normal posts that come up in a pure clan topic; "STFU NEWB", or other stupid trolls begging for attention :down: . But what i was wondering when i was reading the these threads was; "What happened to the pure world?"
I believed i joined epidemic in my first year of junior high; 7th grade. Now, four years later, im looking back and wondering what happened to it all? I remember growing up with my friends from epidemic, from a 13 year old obnoxious kid, to who i am now ( still hasnt changed). And maybe its that, maybe im not looking outside my clans walls. But, why is everything so different now? Is it just like a generation thing (old school vs new school leaders)? I remember just growing up with my clan, becoming very close friends, without ever meeting them in real life. And now, since its been awhile since epidemic closed, i just see the pure world so differently. Everyone seems different, even though many of them have the same additude as when i left. What happened to just having fun with friends playing a stupid game? Has it really changed? I was a complete addict to the pure world when i was in Epidemic. I wasnt just addicted to my clan, i loved reading about how other ( even lower level clans) did during their trip. Often following them as if i was a fan of their them, but now, i'm trying to get back into the pure world, and it seems completly different. Not just the people, but the addict and the postive, relaxing vibe from the community, just isnt there to me anymore. The pure clan world itself always got my mind off things, now it seems like its gone...
Anyone else feel this way? Or have a just been gone for too long?
