Echoes of the past

March 31 is truly a bittersweet day for me. "Why?", you ask? Well shut the  fuck up and I'll tell you why! You see kids, three years ago, on march 31 2014, clone wars adventures shut down. "What the hell is that?" "Why is that important?" "Are you a faggot?", you cry, to which I reply STOP ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Now, where was I? Oh yes, clone wars adventures (or cwa for short) was an MMO game in which you got to play with characters from the tv show of the same name. I used to play that game religiously as a child, I had a lifetime membership, had bought almost every single item in game, and had over 10000 friends. I remember showing people my rare droids and items, it felt amazing. It really got me interested in gaming. Of course, it was really one of the only things that got me through all the harassment and bullying at school. In real life I was a loser, in game I was Dex Extra! Leader of the E.C.G. Crime fighter and all around bad ass! I actually wrote a lot of fiction around my character and posted it online. I still look back and laugh at what a Mary Sue Dex was, and how shitty my writing was. Granted, CWA had its faults, but I was heartbroken when it was shut down. It was what got me through the day half the time. All those boy-scout camp outs of just doing dishes because everyone else forced me to, all those times when people would abuse me, it was all worth it because later I could get on and play CWA.

Clone wars adventures had its faults, it was a rather generic MMO, but to me, it will always and forever be my favorite game.

P.s., if anyone has played this game, or know someone who has, or known me in this game, or, hell, even had a similar experice with a game, I would love to get into a Skype call and shoot the shit. I always love hearing people's stories, and I believe everyone should have someone to listen to theirs.
