No Where Else That Is Better

I want to express my opinion on how great Talisman Online is to me, and it might be well to some of you, readers. First I would share with you about how I came to play TO, then I will cite my old memories of how I fell in love with it and left it and the last section will be about why I am thinking of returning to it.
I am quite used to MMORPG because I've played many games during my almost a decade of online gaming. I have been through many downloads and un-installation while the link of TO froze as the last download address within my Flashget Downloader. One or two months later, I finally ran out of 'current' games to play, then I checked on TO's link and noticed the client is only 250-ish MB. This sent me an implication that it is one of the low graphic games. This gave me a hesitation; however, i was really out of games, so, through a sign, I resumed its download. This is how I got TO running at the first place.
After all the waiting were gone, I, as many noobies, wandered about towns and places without aims. Doing quests (endless) are quite tiresome, and then the same old boredom started to creep into my mind again - this time whispering louder 'it's time to change to another game again, my dear'. Almost! yes, I almost uninstall it. Nevertheless, during my last day, I was invited to a guild. It was a young guild with fresh members and a young adult leader (lv40). Many of us were poor as noobs can be, but all of us have a great common dream of getting a guild demesne. As a result, I donated ALL my pocket into the course (10g). Things started to get excited and I came to know many great players (I do not wish to name them out because I haven't ask for their permission), and watching the guild fund rose and rose, but within me, I thought to myself that I will have my own guild established one day, and I would definitely name it Vanguard. A few months flew by quickly, and I gained a handful of trusted friends and my first cyber-girlfriend. Therefore, it was the time that I, correction, we (my girl, I and friends) wanted to have our own home, and came to name our guild 'Benevolent' - it's a place where guildies could seek kindness, understanding and hospitality (my 'Vanguard' was out-voted, NEVER give women power, guys ;) ). Oh, a lot and lot and lot of fun we have in our guild, and as the time gone by, we gained many and many trustworthy guildies. Nonetheless, all my happy time began to fade when I got awarded with a scholarship to study oversea. I devoted most of my time on study, and later, I came to have a plan to get married in real life. Thus, I said good bye to all my friends and my cyber-girlfriend as I thought that I would not play any game for a while. This is when things went into a swirling chaos for me.
Another several months have passed, then I came back to play other new games. Oh so many games that I tried, many interesting features, graphic and gameplays... but, really, something that is missing in those games - a good community, one that talks. Whenever I revisited my friends in TO, i always received the good old warm welcome from both old and new guildies. Until recently that I can answer my own question of what makes a game good? A good game has to have a good community. Then, I started to contrast games that I have played, and I found the hidden solution to my boredom. To me, having friends, good ones, is essential in gaming (oh, they need to be talkative, too). That is why I am coming back to play it.
As the end note, I would want to express that I consider my memory with Talisman Online is a precious one. And, to my friends in the game, they are priceless, dear and meaningful to me. i have found my place to refuge for this cold Christmas. How about you, my dear TO fellows?
P.S: May this Christmas and many more to come be the merriest moment to you all through this endless time ;) Ho Ho Hoooooo! |
