It's been many, many years since I visited this place. It kinda feels... like the ruins we fought on. Deserted. Crumbled. And yet, it speaks many tales of the past.
We had fun. We had excitement. We had anger and terrible flame wars. But in the end, ultimately, we had each other.
That's right. My fondest memories of Rune aren't the pixels, but the words we shared. Sure you might remember me as a guy which bound a reply to nearly all of the 101 keys on a keyboard, but I never shunned a good conversation with all of you. And we all played our part;
Shex with his wisdom. Telcontar with his integrity. Mundas with his logic. Rahbalder with his tough guy image. Jimmy with his impulsiveness. Chronic, you magnificent weirdo. BM, showing me to ascend through versions. Kotzen for working hard to get rewarded.
Even Striker, being the biggest pain in the ass, had his role.
I wish I could name all of you guys, but the memories get more and more distant so forgive me for that. Thing is, I owe this community a big thank you. It shaped my way of being part of groups ever since. I hope I contributed to you guys as well.
That being said, the old days are gone and can't be relived. But.... If there's going to be a reunion day at some point I'd like to be part of it. Set up a server, gimme a week headsup (I'll find my old config file) and I'm game! Heck, I'll write a port to Android if I have to.
Anyway, anyone looking for chat or a game, you can always mail me at skintex at hotmail com or skintex at Gmail com.

Hey Dickie! I think the community was always the main reason that many of us kept playing the gmae year after year. Great times. Lets not forget the part you played, the tech-wiz who helped me out so many times. And also the keeper of logs. If someone said something in a game or in a thread you kept track of it. Forever! Haha. Me: "Hmm. I recall hearing some player mentioning that some time ago in a game" You: "Lets see... Yup, found this screenshot and you are right. The third of April last year this player talked about it on your server with these players." Realized now that the community probably remembers you quite differently. Its been a few years since played and it would be great to play a few games again. Lets see if we can get some more players interested. And if not, I look forward spending another night with you in Rotarena. Just the two of us. Cosy!

Thanks Shex for pinging me. Speaking of bad memory, did we sort of miss eachother's heydays, SaintDickless? I sort of have a feeling our most active timelines in VnB didn't cross eachothers' paths. I could be completely off base but I sorta feel like I joined after your were chillin' for a bit, and when you came back I was sort of afk'ing a bit - or vice versa? Like we never truly "crossed streams". I will very rarely, usually on a bender, fire up rune classic on Steam and look for active servers - and occasionally a few people will be playing. I haven't been following the development of Rune 2 that closely. Mostly because I feel like if HumanHead wants to create a competetive product there is no way they can actually re-create the Rune 1 experience for us. It's similar to all the failed attempts at re-creating Quake 3 Arena. There sadly isn't a way to truly revive the Rune 1 era. However I think a good chunk of us will try Rune 2 just to see what it's like - just to dip back into some Rune 1 goodness. Also, one reason Rune 1 has had such a hard time to revive is the same for Quake as well as Savage (for those who remember that game) - we have a hardcore dedicated fanbase with skills that developed over several years of gaming - no noob stands a chance against any of us old ones and therefore it's nearly impossible to get any new players interested in the game. Who wants to constantly spawn and immediatly die? Imagine trying out counterstrike for the first time and all you could do was face old CS Pros.. Still, as one of the ancient players I would gladly smash a few heads in-game - or just talk about the good old times. Much love

I am glad you appreciated my role as evil person :s
I am an old man now, 30+, capable of evil still but no longer the volatile specimen I was back then. You might say I could actually be reasoned with these days.

Hi there old Rune folks and thanks Shex for pointing me to this forum. It is me Jesper. I hope you are all in good circumstance. I guess I must have had an older account here once ages ago but somehow I needed to register anew. Never mind. I gladly did so.
Firstly I'm glad to see some other people posting here. Well. Time takes its toll and we've all become older. 33 years old now goddamn :-) I remember being a dedicated Rune player back in time. In some moments in life the old nostalgia strikes back and right now there is such a time. I'd really wish to get back online playing a few matches with you guys. Since the master server went down I haven't been online playing anymore. There simply was no joinable game. Still got this ages old cracked version of Rune 1.01 installed, which my brother's mate once installed. My computer knowledge is quite small. So I'm not sure how to play/join games as the master server is down. Any advise is welcome.
I know that the old times are gone, but maybe some of us could get together and play some matches now and then.
May the force be with you all. Gladly awaiting your response :-)

It's a shame the second game bombed. The first Rune was so much fun, so much time spent in it.
I don't even remember if you could join by IP, Jesper. Perhaps by adding as favourite.
