Title: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Katryna on April 11, 2021, 12:24:37 AM
Hello Everyone

I was just wondering if anyone is still around from Fiona Vie back in 2003 approximately.  Some of the names I remember are:

Jebbar
Ntalliya
Tuppen (or something similar
Grouchy Dwarf who was amazing, name started with a K who was always with a gnome I believe, they both were amazing

Many others I can not pull the names out of my memory just now.

Grouchy Dwarf here. Kanina. And the gnome you are thinking of was actually a halfling named Elsbet.
Tuppen comes around sometime.
And there are a few others that still visit from back in the day. Way back in the day.
Good to see you.

That is right, there was Mixxi I think as well and Rorack.

After seeing the pic in your post there I started remembering a few more, I remember us doing that picture.

Hello Katryna! 
This is Tuppen!  I'm currently playing EQ2 with a couple of folks who joined Saga a bit later--latter days of EQ and early during EQ2.
Glad you checked in and very happy you remembered my name! 
How are you faring?

Hiya Katryna!

Former denizen of Firiona Vie here! You won't remember a half elf Mithaniel-Marr-hugging paladin named Thadaeus--not from Starspun/Saga at any rate. Though present when the gates to the server opened, he hit a mid-life crisis of faith and retired while still only in his mid-forties some time in twenty aught four. Took a century or five 'til I finally wisened up and got an EQ2-generation descendant of his with the Saga program.

Always delighted to exchange hellos with other players from that fondly remembered bygone era. Glad you stopped by!

Good to see you all still here.

Tuppen - I go on eq2 some times as well, so glad you are still around.  We should meet up some time on eq2 depending on which server you are on I may have a character there.

Thadeus I definatly remember you.

I also remember Lead of Shadows as well.

Been playing different games and just loaded up eq1 and 2; hoping the new one is good when it finally comes out.

Nice!

Always fun to see folks from original FV days. (Even though I was in Lux and Not Saga then, we were all close.)

Kanina and Elsbet...memorable pair indeed.  ;D

There are even a few players puttering around on FV again this last couple of years, as well as scattered around in EQ2 as Tuppen mentioned, some in ESO, etc.

Still alive and kicking, I was exclusive to House Sel'Quar back in the day.
Title: Re: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Kalese on April 19, 2021, 07:44:21 AM
You should join us on FV on Fridays 9pm to 12am EST
Title: Re: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Corsair on April 19, 2021, 01:41:04 PM
Yep, Friday nights as Kalese mentioned are active, I should have said that also! (Although as a left coaster, I have always had to commit to a timing more like 9:30 EST rather than 9:00.)

There is also a Monday night group that is fairly active, and similar timing.

That sounds like a plan.

Look forward to it!

Wow great!

A few things to look for when you are in-game.

Names of Saga folks on Friday/Monday, (And even Sunday!), plus a few alts that are not part of the common groups those two days.

Aluyeni
Braedayr
Chattazure
Elvanyllene
Kyry
Makelemn
Malese
Maliriel
Rosalynd
Sanvynae
Sorya
Sylvase
Tanare
Trazyn
Veolla

Few more, but that'll do. Mind you now, that list represents maybe half as many people as characters.  :D

Also, we do have a chat channel open. A few Circle of Sisters pop in, and a smattering of other old timers. (Such as Kolani, occasionally an Elhanna sighting, etc.)

Ah! It's been a while, Katryna Sowdier. Can't keep a good Shamaness of Saga down, I see.  ;)

I would be pleased to note that the tales you left behind lived on thanks to a certain librarian, and can be read here (http://sagafamily.org/index.php?topic=720.msg5876#msg5876). I am glad they can be returned to you at last.

You are amazing!   Wow that was so long ago I forgot about the journals.

Thank you!

I am playing EQ2 most evenings with Sendiwen (from EQ1) and Boudeccai (EQ1).   We are on Antonia Bayle server in our own 3 person guild called Old But Not Dead.  We would love for you to join us sometime.  We are all currently 95.  My main character's name is Grandpap.  The other two have characters named Ozman and Jimin.  Send us a tell if you are on Antonia Bayle.

Heya Scrib!

How is life treating you? I feel like you made such a huge move, and then Covid...
Title: Re: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Scrib on July 27, 2021, 08:18:35 AM
Covid is not something that bothers me much. I think instead of what things would have been like if I hadn't left South Africa when I did. Have you seen the news from there? Their lockdowns make the minor restrictions here, at least in TN, look like a vacation spot. 'Loadshedding' has returned. People rioting, looting and burning. I got out just in time; a few months later and it wouldn't have been possible. I fear for my family living there still though.

On the downside....  ??? ... I lost my job in April/May (company lost its contract) so I'm sorta stuck. Missus picking up well with her realtor stuff though, so we're good for a while.
Title: Re: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Corsair on July 27, 2021, 09:16:55 PM
Real Estate broker is a great gig right now, glad it is helping bridge the times for you guys!

I have kept up a little on SA, actually know a couple of guys who live there. And yeah, has been awful. So I totally get being glad not to still be there for Covid times! I was more thinking of how you all were weathering things here given a lot of your USA life so far has been Covid affected.

Much better I think anywhere here than in almost anywhere in SA for vaccination and stability though. Covid landed there on top of an already tough set of situations.
Title: Re: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Scrib on July 28, 2021, 06:35:21 AM
Oh yes, I understand. We haven't been affected all that much directly, although it's obviously hard to say what it would have been like without restrictions. Life has continued much as normal throughout, perhaps at a slower pace.

A few changes here and there, like one kid going in for school but one staying at home etc. Nothing dramatic. Realtor business started slowly, perhaps due to lockdowns, but was expected anyway with starting over.

Heya all !

I still have a look at the board from time to time. I'm glad to hear everyone is mostly ok in these difficult times (sorry you lost your job Scrib).

I used to play Deneteth on the original FV. I see my name on the forum is from the Vanguard era though :)
Title: Re: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Scrib on August 11, 2021, 05:22:15 PM
Heya, good to see you.

I remember Deneteth, and Titia too. :)
Title: Re: Is there any members still around from Fiona Vie
Post by: Corsair on August 17, 2021, 05:56:35 PM
Heya Dene/Titia!

Still think of Vanguard often as the game that it could have been/almost was.

Hope you and yours are as well as times allow.
