I thrive on good communities. Every online game i play has either sucked me in or pushed me away via the people i meet there.
MoHAA: Over 600 hours played.
BF2142: Over 400 hours played.
TF2: Roughly 420 hours so far.

Back on the old 24/7 2fort i found a group of people who were fun, and mature (-ish), who genuinely loved playing the game. Once Festers Place kicked off proper i saw a group growing that i wanted to be part of, where it's always good times. Where everybody knows your name.
Little did i know the group was actually populated by lunatics who barely hid their madness beneath a thin layer of respectability. I was of course, delighted.
