Happy birthday Eldemore!
I can't believe that elde is already five years old! I remember when I joined in 2014, everything was so new and so undiscovered. There was a lot that drove me back here everyday. The beautiful art, the nice event dialogues, the overall stunning setting. And soon after, the lovely community!
I've never been a social person. I tend to be quiet and for myself, collecting pets in a dark corner. But here it all changed. The people have been so nice and understanding here. Me, a german derp who was barely able to write proper english sentences. Everyone was understanding and helpful. It means a lot to me, because I learned a lot from several user, staff and the admins as well.
I grew more and more confident into my abilities, even tho I was far off from perfect, I started to take on the task to care for the Eldemore Wiki. I did my very best to write good articles about everything about and around Elde. I bet when you go and visit it you can still find a million typos and grammar errors that I left there for good. xD
Then two years ago I applied to be a general helper, and I got accepted! I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I was around the Forum games, playing my favorite game "Post as high as possible before a mod posts" and as I re-loaded the page to check for replies, my name suddenly changed green! You can't believe the stunning feeling that run through my whole body that day. Joining the eldemore staff was one of the best things that happened in my life! I was honored to get to know so many awesome people. Everyone was so kind and friendly to me, and bein on staff helped me with my english even more.
To that day, I still visit Eldemore daily. I can not even imagine a day without checking in here and leave one or two posts, or read through the Forum.
I really hope that the re-work of the site goes on good, that we can soon enjoy eldemore to it's fullest again! Much love to everyone.
