Well If were talking most memorable rather than favorite I have a few...

1. GM_Dakkon departing Outspark. One of the biggest tragedies the outspark community has suffered. I think we can all agree on this.

2. There was this time I was in an OX field event with Silky hosting it, this was when he was newly introduced to the community and I somehow managed to stay in the game... Then it got down to the 2nd to last question, and I went on the wrong side...
T'was terrible. I was shaking.

3. When I first read this thread I swear to god I LOLED so much... It was nearly one of the best days of my life. It's still by far my favorite thread:

http://outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101886

4. When I first started to really get accepted by the Outspark community... I remember exactly what happened, I got +rep from Asmodjjjj that says "Ata boy" or something like that and he posted in my thread saying "Finally someone has seen the light of day" That was another very memorable forum experience.

5. When I was perma banned from the forums by Joker... I eventually E-mailed outspark and said that I'd clean up my act, which I did to some degree and haven't gotten an infraction in several months - So that was a big change for myself.

6. OH and this time that GM_SnakeEyes teleported me into this lvl 96 or something area because someone accused me of scamming them... But then it was sorted out and me and Snake had a party. T'was epic.

7. The day that the server move was taking place was rather fun. I sorta volunteered my help to "attempt" to keep some sort of order in the forums... Of course I wasn't doing anything that important it was exciting being of some help and actually giving something back to the community leaders, even if it wasn't really that much of a help.

8. The first couple weeks that Blackshot had been released into CBT was exciting. Surely haven't seen that many people call me a lagger/hacker... well ever really. But that gaming was epic, and that's when the turning of the time came for outspark in my opinion and when the forums really started going wild.

9. The new Outspark portal - Completely rocks, Outspark even has the slider on the homepage which nearly every game publishing company has... But not everyone has the little profiles, which truely gives outspark an A plus I'll also add in here the welcoming of all the new CMs as well as several overseas GMs who were hired.

10. Oh This was seriously one of my favorites... GM_Magicgirl or whatever her name is was holding an event in uruga and it was a "Find me and get a chest event" So I found her right... and then she spawns a chest and this guy comes outta knowhere and opens the chest so I'm like "Uhm dude... that's mine" then he runs off and starts shouting "Haha, I found GM_MagicGirl" and I shout uhm dude... No I did and you took my chest. Then after probably 5 minutes I get spawned to this random place in uruga and there were 2 chests infront of me. :)

Was good fun.

[catry]

Let's seeeeee...

My ten, in the order they first come into my head >.>;; Apologies if some parts aren't coherent, it's past 2am here D; But they must be memorable if they're the first ones to come to mind, right? D;

1) Meeting my in-game brother Nero Mystyra! He was the first real friend I had in Solstice and he introduced me to some of the most awesome people I'll ever know!

2) Stalking GM_Break overnight; he shouted one night that he was going AFK somewhere in town and whoever was around him when he came back would get a prize :O Well, me a few other girls found him in seconds and waited for HOURS and he never came back xD He was gone when we woke up and we never got anything but we had a fun time chatting so it totally made up for it xD

3) Suicide party to the desert on Girl's Day! CL_davisf18 made an "All-Girls" day at some point and me, Muxi, Eririn, and Daft got bored and decided to go on a suicide run through the then brand-new desert maps. It was LOADS of fun because we really weren't supposed to have any chance of surviving, and each of us died at least once (except Muxi cuz she's such an awesome healer @_@) but we made it all the way to the end!

4) Seeing CSR_Joker floating dead in a newbie map >_>;; Hopefully I might have a screenshot of it lying around somewhere...

5) When a GM stalked me on a little secret excursion into Lost Brynhild (not yet open at that time and without any mobs...) and spawned UBER HIGH LEVEL MOBS AROUND ME @_@ Still haven't found out who it was...coughridercough

6) The theft of Euphie's pet...I know it sounds a little sadistic but this was the one time in SoS history that I can remember when more or less EVERYONE was on the same page. I had never (and have not since...) seen the community so united against one common cause to get the person who stole it banned o.o;;

7) Hatching my first advanced pet egg! This was especially important because my egg turned out to be the second elephant ever hatched in SoS...the first one ever hatched belongs to one of my best friends ever! I'm never ever ever in hundred years letting this elephant go xD

8) Getting my 3rd pointy hat piggy - This was special to me because I was the first ever person to get what at that time was one of every single pet. Getting a pointed hat on all three was all that much more special because back then Yellow Watermelon were about as rare as they can get, and getting 45 was one really special achievement...

9) The arrival of GM_Cretz and CM_Junglecurry - Not to suck up or anything but two of the best Outspark staff members I've dealt with. Good luck to Cretz not in all his post-Outspark dealings!

10) One day GM_rider was just chilling in town and people came bugging him for mob spawns...so I told him to spawn a ton of Cowlegends (the highest leveled boss in the game!)...and he did! xD Took us forever to clear them xD

Can I add more? Pleeeeeease? D;

[vamptwin]

wow i havnt been on for that long to remember any so i wont enter but i love to see all the good memories =P

[viorexx]

My 10 favorite moment that i can remember about this game.

1. Well my first favorite moment is when my friend won the "Date the GM" event last year with Dakkon. We all got event item and was able to see BR and a few maps that normal player were not able to see at the time. I found out that we were able to talk to a GM like a normal person. i thought a GM was this big bad guy with a temper but he was just a normal person that liked what he did for a job.

2. the second was when i realized how to join a KQ. i was really a noob back then and did not realize something so simple. then i also realized i did not need to be in town at the npc to join the KQ. I laughed at my myself now when i think back.

3. Most of the best time i had were with my Friends. we all parted together and talk through vent. it was really fun. I nick named one of my friend the "dieing D" because he some how always died no matter what you did, he died. pure Int mages just dont last long. lol

4. I remember last year Halloween, there was a guild war event where you had to kill the GM. i remember going in with my cleric trying to kill the GM and found myself died in 1 hit. i got my self all buffed up and scrolled up and went to try again. died in one hit. i then realized cleric suck at damage and at pvp. cleric were made for helping others kill other things. :) as a reword for just being there everyone got a Halloween house that ended up being Permanent. I was there but i never got mine. o well cant complain.

5. another event i liked was the Xfire Q&A event. we were all able to ask question to GM and staff about the game. we were able to figure out what the direction outspark was going to take this game. i also liked it because i won a dragon in that event.

6. I remember in the old days when there were no greens and i did not know what a green was back then. I parted with some player to kill King Marlon. Marlon dropped a wand with stats of +8 int and +12 spr. i was so happy that i got this wep with stats. it was the coolest thing in those days.

7. I remember entering Eld for the first time. it was huge and different. there were more npc selling different things. i remember watching the 2 balloons things when i entered. i saw the water fountain. i walked through the park and saw the temple. that was really assume. some time later i then went and saw Uruga for the first time. i loved the greenery of the land. going up the walkway and seeing what to be seen. it was really nice to see something new.

8. i have to laugh at myself. i remember the first time to enhance one of my weps. i did not know the difference between the type of enhancement stones. that got me so confused. then when i figured it out i enhanced not knowing the consequences. i lost my wep. it was just a normal white npc wep but it was a lose of sliver for a poor cleric. It was really hard to make money in those days. i dont think there was red or blue miles back then ether.

9. I remember entering an event "race to lvl 6". that day there was a thunder storm cutting the power to outpark building. that was vary interesting. after about an hour the event started up. we were all ported to the OX field. when the event started the GM spawned slime and imps. mostly everyone went after the imp dieing in one hit. that just made it easier for the other players to get ahead. adrenalin was pumping through my vanes while i was killing everything. finely i get to lvl 6 and shouted "done". i got second place in that event. i was so happy.

10. I remember the day I first enter my first guild. i did not know what a guild was but they asked me to join and asked my for like 5 silver as an entry fee. it was hard to give up that silver. money was not easy to get in the beginning of Fiesta. But it was a good guild that made this game fun to play.

Memorial moments.

1. When noodlehead talked me into downloading and installing the game.

2. Wandering through mystra hills as an acolyte and encountering a little neo named anniep who had no return scrolls and giving her one. She became my first ingame friend.

3. GM Cretz performing the ingame wedding ceremony when I married annie.

4. The day I joined my guild Requiem.

5. The first time I went donkey hunting with Sai and Yuyo in East Eir. I became our favorite way to relieve boredom.


6. The first time I aco'd an aoe party.

7. The day I became a cleric.

8. The day I became a priest.

9. When my elephant hatched.

10. My first POX when I discovered just how fast I could spam major heal when the group I was with got attacked by ice giants at the very end and the gm's let us stay there until we killed them all.

[behhinu]

1. One of my funniest moments was when I was still a new player in Fiesta, I think I wa slvl 3 or something and so I went around asking people
for help after a few seconds I was this big NPC which at that time I didn't know it was an NPC and I started shouting "Help me please" cause I thought it was kind of a GM because it was big etc... and I kept saying that for around5 minutes or so, after a bit a player came and told me "That is an NPC, you cannot talk to them cause they are not real players"
and I was like "kkk..k.." and ran away lol that was really funny

2. Another memorable thing that happened to me was when I saw people begging for a pet and when I saw them I was like "WOW I need one aswell" so i went to Roumen and started searching for one
then I came across the dog with the flower that lives in Roumen and I started clicking and clicking and clicking but I never got that dog then i asked someone why can't I have that pet, the person laughed
so hard and after he explained that those cannot be obtained, and after tyhat he traded me and gave me a pet slime. I was really happy to have a pet for the first time.

3. A nice memory is when I first won an in-game event hosted by [GM]SilkyPiko it was the Ninja Event, held at OX Quiz, she started asking questions etc.. and I kept guessing right and after a bit
there was only 2 left, me and another mage, the thing is Silky kept asking questions but me and the other couldn't move sides lol after a bit we noticed that Silky played a joke on us LOL and from that event we won a Dunce Cap for 30 days which I am using right now.

4. The first time I went to a Free Battle Zone was really funny, I went to Roumen's Free Battle Zone it was about 5 AM in the morning for me and at that kind of time not many people are online,
so I went in and asked someone what this place was and kindly she explained what this was a mage came in same as my level, I think I was 35+ and we started fighting and he kept killing me, after a bit he asked me "What is your build?" and I answered "Why are you asking me what's my build it's STR of course!" and he laughd so hard and hard that after he told me sorry I couldn't type i was laughing and I asked him why and he answered mages are not done to be STR build but INT build, and I said thanks politly and went off Battle Zone.

5. One of the nicest day was when I got my first thread sticked, it's the thread about Epith's Official Marriage / Divorce list I really can't forget that day.

6. One day me and a friend were in BR grining for Jewel Trees which we had for a repeatable quest and all of a suddon we say [GM]Magic Girl there asking questions etc.. me and my friend got excited and
I shouted if [GM]MagicGirl wants to join us for a chat and so all of a suddon we warped near us, she was wearing the Goblin Costume it was fantastic, I asked her if I can try it on, but I thought she would never let me try it on
but surprisingly she traded me and let me wear it for few minutes. That costumes is really nice and I still dream of having one of my own!

7. Another nice thing was when I first bougth Spark Cash, it was early in the morning and mum woke up and asked her if I could buy some spark cash at first she said no but then afte r awhile she said ok
you can buy so I bought spark cash I logged in game and at that time I was in Phenomenon guild in Epith and I asked a friend how can I have a +9 and she started to explain to me how etc... and thanks to
Outspark Blue Miles and Red Eyes I got my first +9 wand! which was a lvl 40 wand.

8. One of the nicest moments was was marriage first came out in Fiesta and me and my boyfriend decided to marry each other it was really one of the nicest days of my life in Fiesta, I remember well when me and my husband bought the wedding appliacations and the wedding outfit to get married.

9. Another nice moment was when I first joined a guild it was called Phenomenon, people there really helped me loads especially Krazykate and philgo1. That is really and unforgetable experiance.

10. When I caped.. it was about 4 months ago if I remember correctly and it was 6 in the morning, Id didn't sleept got to excited to cap xD

There are more nice memories which I would loved to mention but these are the most unforgetable experiances. I call them the good old days.

[Naomi89]

I haven't read any of the above entries yet so I won't be influenced by any of them, so if there are any similarities it's coincidental. I will read everyone elses after I write mine out and post it here ^^

1. I joined Fiesta March last year. That would have to be one of my favourite moments; learning all that there was to know about playing Fiesta. I remember not knowing how to do anything. In fact when I first started playing I gave up after 5 minutes. Then my boyfriend encouraged me to try again. Not only did I try again but I would spend till 4am each night just playing Fiesta. Those were the best Easter holidays ever; 2 weeks of my beginning days of Fiesta

2. My next favourite moment was when I reached level20+ with my now no longer existent character (I deleted her since I put her stats in all the wrong places and was levelling her wrongly. I was level 28 and had never bought one skill from Elderine yet...). I felt like I had achieved so much making it to that level and that I knew all there was to know about the game. Little did I know that there were people who were tens of levels higher than me lurking in the world of Isya. Also at the time I didn't realise most people didn't take around three-four weeks to make it to level 20 after having played long hours each day. Oh well, I was naive but I was happy with having made it so far :P

3. The level 20 job change quest. Now when I tried it with my alts I found it much easier but with my first Fiesta character...well it was a completely different story. Me pressing the main fighting and directional keys, my mum with her finger on the - button to heal me when I need potion, and my sister with her finger on the Q button for when I need healing with stones. It's kind of embarrassing to say now, but I laugh when I think about it. We were a right sight that day; "Quickly heal me now!", "Oh no why did the lights go off" “Follow the light!". The same thing happened when my mum's character had made it to the level 20 job change and the same when my sister had made it there hehe...

4. The moment I got my first 1s. At the beginning these little things mean so much and are so important. Now 1s is easy to come by. But I cherish the memory of how happy that first one silver had made me. I also remember when I made my first 100s I screenshoted it and emailed it to my boyfriend as we were racing to see who would make it to that amount first.

5. The moment I got my mum to play Fiesta. Having discovered a game I had grown so fond of and addicted to I decided to pass on the addiction to my mum. I kept trying to explain to my mum how to play the game, where to buy the skills from, how selling drops to stalls could at times be more profitable... the basics. I now found out that she was never listening to a word I was saying because she just wanted to kill monsters and grind and grind. She only decided to ask me for advice again when she found out how important the other things were when she had bought no skills and was running low on cash. She then not only made it to my level, but if I let her she would probably surpass me. But we only play together now so we always have someone to duo with for our quests.

6. The moment I discovered the forums. Even though I started playing in March I discovered the forums relatively late; 6 months later in September. The community is just so nice and everyone instantly pulled me in with their helpfulness. I ended up spending more time reading the threads on the forums then actually playing the game. I definitely wish I'd thought of the forums before as there were definitely a lot of threads which would have helped me out with the game play when I had just started the game.

7. The level 60 job change quest. I had gotten stuck at level 57 and had spent quite a long time on that level. Me and my mum were trying so hard to get our characters to level 60(in fact we were doing the quest at the same time) so when we did it felt like such a huge achievement. Another stepping stone for our characters. I handled the level 60 job change a lot more calmly than I did the 20, in fact I managed to do it with no scrolls and first time round, so I was quite proud of that since a lot of people said it's hard for a cleric. But I had gotten into the game by that time and the monsters didn't seem as intimidating as they did at the beginning so that's probably why I handled it better. But I was still really happy when I had made it there and it is definitely something which I will remember.

8. FNTM cycle 2 the forum competition hosted by AH_Rin. I'm so glad I took part in the contest. It was really a challenge and pushed me hard to try something different. It was a great experience. I'm so glad I got to know some of the contestants better as they are all really great people so I'm very thankful for the moment I got to take part. It was interesting seeing how each contestant tackled the same question yet came out with so many different views and outcomes. I used to enjoy seeing America's Next Top Model, so I was more than proud to be able to take part in Fiesta's own version of it :)

9. Getting my buff skill at level 47. When you're a cleric, well at last for me, it felt like such a feat when I was finally able to get my buffing skill. The moment I got it I just went to stand by kid woz shouting "free buffs" as I had seen so many other clerics do before. I used to be so envious of them and admired them so much for having gotten so far, I wanted to be like them. So the moment I got my buff I just wanted to buff people as those clerics had done for me. In time the "I got buff skill" happiness wore down a bit, and it does get a bit tiring at times when people run after you with "buff me" and you need to get off your mount to buff them. So When I find a person who asks politely that's another great moment and is one of the ways to put a smile on my face when I'm playing fiesta :)

10. When I got my basic beauty shop coupon, which was also my first ever sparkcash purchase. When I had first started the game I used to see characters running around with different faces then what was available to us at the beginning and wearing really nice costumes too. I thought these must definitely be really high levelled players! It was only till maybe I made it to level 30 that I found out about sparkcash. I remember my sister saying she wants some for Christmas when she found out about sparkcash. I needed my mum to approve since I had no visa card. But then she gave in and I bought my first sparkcash. Now she even enjoys buying the occasional sparkcash for her character too. When I then bought my beauty shop coupon I remember I took forever trying to choose my favourite look for my main. I then settled on the dark red hair with a ponytail with the face with red marks on the cheeks. It’s funny how I've only ever seen one character with the same look as me:P


Thanks

[dylanangel]

1. The 1st memory I will hold will be the day I met dre. It was day 1 of OB. We were both baby squires running around a map called Cyoren Forest. I was running past and all of a sudden a party request hit me. I was happy to accept because I had to start my squire completely over from OB and lost my buddy list. I didn't know if any of my friends were on so I was happy to make a new one. Little did I know dre would become so much more to me.

2. The day I changed to Knight. I worked so hard for days trying to get that awesome title as a female knight. There weren't to many of us so I was so happy working to that lvl 66. My good friends Cayden, Arnota, Naveen and Bearmom helped me to get those levels I needed to change.

3. My wedding to dre. dre and I had been through our ups and downs. Standing in Brynhild Trisects helping new players I saw a shout that I didn't think I would ever see from dre lol. He asked me to marry him. I was thrown but of course I had that little yellow egg and I answered yes. Our wedding was busy and many of our close friends and some new friends showed up that day.

4. Becoming the Warrior Council Representative. I applied for this position because I believe that I could help others in game by being a voice for not only my class but many in the game. Standing in Phildevilt and seeing my name as the one the GM's chose for this position was an honor. The whispers of congratulations I got from friends and strangers was a great feeling.

5. Meeting those I call close friends. There are many who come and go in this game but there are few who I can actually call my friends. Sawyer, Nils, DarkMiko, Elementality, Strider, Dipple, Siari, Trishh and Elyse. I am very glad that I met all of you. You guys make this game fun for me.

6. Becoming a Warrior. I worked so hard on this. I had the help of one great friend in particular who kept me on my toes. Dipple its only because of you that I got warrior when I did. You were there for me when I needed someone to keep me on track. I am very thankful for all the help you have given me. The day I changed was such a great day. All my friends showed up to see me finally get that title. The 4th female warrior and the 2nd official female warrior.

7. Becoming a CL. I was asked to become a CL right before I turned warrior. I held out on an answer for them because I wanted to make sure I did not have anything in my way keeping me from doing the best I could for Outspark. I was honored that I was chosen again by the staff to do this position.

8. Becoming a Cleric. When I first stared my aco I didn't think it would take as long as it did for me to become a cleric. The saying of you never know until you walk in my shoes couldn't be more accurate. I had no idea how hard the healing class has it. Now I do and I applaud all those who have become cleric and above. Its a hard class to do because its hard finding a person to help you level. Yes help you because doing it alone as a healer is the worst lol.

9. Losing GM after GM. I would chalk this up to a bad memory. When GM's come in this game and they make a name for themselves and the community likes them and trusts them to only lose them is a blow to the community. We put a lot of faith in the GM's and when they leave us we are left standing wondering "Whats next". We have been lucky in the GM's we have gotten. Our GM's reach out to us and make themselves known in game. Other games I have played I have not seen that kind of thing from the staff. You barely ever see the staff but not with SotS. So its emotional to see them leave us.

10. Getting my 1st major pet. When I started that long crazy pet quest all I wanted was an elephant. My friend Eririn got the 1st elephant and I was so jealous lol. I really really wanted one because IMO the elephant goes so well with the fighter. Just looks cool. The day I opened that egg and a white kitty popped out I was upset yet happy because it wasnt a bow wow or that bouncy hippo thing lol. I knew the white kitty I could trade and low and behold someone online was trading their elephant for a white kitty. I JUMPED at the chance. So thats when I met my elephant and asked all my friends for names. My friend Omnis came up with the name Tank. Check the siggy friends cause that name fit him well ;)

[ichioutaiurufu]

[huntess]

Here's my list, though it won't exactly be in order and it may be long as I tend to be descriptive and probably rant a little....kinda...much... o.o

~*~*~

#1 IT BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was bored on Memorial Day weekend. It was a Friday and I had just gotten off work when I saw an ad about Fiesta on some website (I can't remember which it was). So I decided to download it and give it a try - it was free after all. I didn't get to actually play until Saturday morning. I don't know what drove me to start in Teva server but off I went to make a character. I didn't know which to start with so I made a character of each class and noticed that they kind of went in alphabetical order by name (Adalaide-Fighter, Brelana-Mage, Charlemaine-Cleric, and Ebonirion-Archer). People often ask where I got my names from so I figure I can explain it here. C:<

Adalaide (AKA Ada) was purely instinctual, I just typed something starting with 'A' and Ada came into being. She is NOT named after some Australian town...I'm American born and bred. DX

Brelana (AKA Bre) is the name of a mage character I made up on message board that catered to the writer in me.

Charlemaine (AKA Char) is the name of some important guy in History. I was watching some show on History channel that mentioned the name and I thought it was kinda cool. It's also the name of the shiny spray gun I use at work to spray pesticides. o.O

Ebonirion (AKA Ebon or Eboni) is the name of a dragon a friend is using in his book (not yet written and published XD ). I just thought it was a good name for an archer is all really, and I knew it wouldn't be taken! HUZZAH!

Anyways, I remember starting out as Ada and feeling like I made a few mistakes with her skills and points (which were later remedied). I remember meeting a mage named dark_spell, who I haven't seen since two weeks after I started, and his kindness in walking me through the game's mechanics. I tend to wonder what happened to him. I don't think I ever thanked him for helping me out. There was also Raiker who helped me figure out some of the game too. I didn't feel like such a noob after that.

#2 GUILDS!

I remember the first guild I joined, went into a guild war five minutes after I joined. I got attacked while in Sea of Greed by a cleric, who later became a friend of mine. I realized just how important it was to carry warp scrolls with you. Even to this day I carry a stack of each scroll just to be safe. I left that guild as soon as possible (I don't remember the name any more) and joined Legends to keep people from randomly inviting me. I stayed with them for a while until a friend of mine asked to join his. I then became an Ariztocrat. I gradually migrated to Aristocrats (the level 60+ version), until I eventually made my own guild: KageKitsune. I won't forget the many lessons I learned with those nubs and knuckle heads, and I hope if Nin sees this she can at least know I've never had a better guild master (or mistress?). I especially won't forget the nubs of Aristocrats (Dark nub, Fury, and Mighty <3 ).

#3 Meeting melcucho and our wedding!

I don't remember the actual time we met. I think it was a random party or something, but since then we've been nearly inseparable. Ada is a squishy fighter and her b00f slave has never really said 'no' to her pleas for help. He's always been there for me and Ada will always love her b00f slave...even if she married him only for the party buffs and the summon skill. XD As for the wedding, it wouldn't have been so memorable if cervy hadn't been there to cast Nova on the newly weds. It was fun having as many of my friends there as could show up, even if most of them were guild mates. I got pics on photobucket.

We decided to get married in game because our guild mates thought we were married in real life. o.O I have never met melcucho out of the game so it was really interesting to see how close our friendship was in the game. It's kind of creepy really. O.o
(>^.^)>OOOO <(^o^<)

#4 Trumpy Remains, Level 74-76, and the Giant Harpy

Ah, who can forget having to endure the trial of constant grinding at levels 74 through 76, and the repetitive slaughter of diamond trumpies. The blue chicken lady murdered me a couple times, but I got revenge on my poor hubby who would always bite the dust before me. :x (Hint: buy a BoT so you don't cry.)

Seriously....It was the hardest time I had with Ada. I considered quiting Fiesta because I didn't think I'd make it through that hard time. Even my alts weren't any fun to play since I wasn't getting anywhere on her. The hubby said I should try something else for a while, but I couldn't leave him to cap out in Burning Rock. DX He was already lvl 80 by the time I got out of that slump...which leads me to #5.

#5 Guardian's Holy Shrine is open for business!

When I heard the level 80 dungeon was open to all, I thought it couldn't be easy for level 70's. Then I got partied with my then guild master of Aristocrats. Luckily I had a pegasus mount from Remi's at the time, so I could get through the monsters without dying. When I got there, I couldn't believe how hard it was to hit them. The cleric missed nearly every swing, and I had to use a T3 aim scroll to hit all the time. I don't think I could have gotten to level 77 without some GHS action. Those crystal guardians helped a lot in getting the experience I needed to keep playing Fiesta. Thanks to the GMs for allowing the level limit and evasion change. It did wonders for my morale.
<(^.^)>OOO (>O^o^<)

#6 KQs

I'll always remember the KQs I've done. With Ada it was difficult because I learned clerics don't like healing the person that has to tank. Now Ada will use her HP stones when she has to, but really, HP stones can only do so much and don't tell me about HP pots either. DX I still see it on my alts, except when it's my cleric. As Ada, I don't join a KQ unless I know one of the clerics in it, because Ada still needs to be healed in order to tank. She's a damage dealer....she carries an axe...a big shiny axe. Even T4 HP pots don't do much for her, and I can't always afford extenders when they expire. =(

My favorite KQ so far is Giant Spider. It's like Robo, but more insane, and the rewards are to die for..not literally but you get the idea.

#7 The times Ada hung out with [GL]Nei.

It was the day the Mara KQ-Any level event was going on. Any level character could whisper Nei and join the KQ. I missed it by 5 seconds, but I got to spend a lot of time just sitting around with Nei. I got to ask a few questions about up coming stuff and got to see what it was like being a GL. I really admire their patience and diligence and sometimes I wish I had the power to ban spammers I find in Roumen and Elderine. XD So if you guys are reading this: Give the GL's a cookie but give them the time to eat it too.
(>'.')> (>O^o^)>O

The next time I got to see Nei was in the Elderine garden. I had just logged back in after being disconnected from the server. So I hung out and joined the conversation on shout. Then the floatation stones started popping up around Nei.

o.O You GLs are weird. O.o

Our time got cut short though because Nei had to go do something GL-ish offline. I think he went to deal with some spammers.

#8 Sparkcash = 17,500$ Bank Account = $000000000000.01 Q.Q

I think I've invested about $300 or so in sparkcash this year, and there's only one reason...

Remi's Rare Finds. ._.

I got three mesa pegasus mounts and I'm down to my final one now. I love those darn things and I wish they were purchasable in the Fiesta store (*wink wink nudge nudge*). The highest I've spent is $50 this past holiday season to get several Tiger Outfits (which I'd love a permanent one ;] ) and a couple sunglasses (again permanent????). I don't even use that termite stick of a mover any more if I can help it, but since I'm focusing on Ada all my premium items have gone to her. Next paycheck I'll probably buy more for an Iron Case[permanet] for Char or Eboni and those premium beauty coupons. I swear I've spent enough to keep someone employed for a while.
<(T.T)> (>O^.^)>

#9 GM wars!

One day at work, I was shoving a pile of branches into a Vermeer wood chipper when a Christmas carol got stuck in my head. It was Jingle Bells as it usually is around that time, but then I started thinking about Fiesta and Sand Beach. I don't know why, but it happened that I came up with some little ditty about riding through the sands of Sand Beach, probably to search for a lost GM. Eventually it became a song about the GM wars and how one attack usually kills about five people or a spawn kills like all of them...OX Field Winter Ball ring a bell????? SILKY! -_-

Yeah I remember running around the arena in Elderine trying to find the GMs to see what they all looked like. I always thought [GM]SnakeEyes was like the G.I. Joe Ninja. Oo ....a ninja costume...on Ada...would look...so sweeeeeeeet...*drools*

#10 LAG CENTRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is not one day that doesn't go by where I don't get bombared by lag in Elderine. The server switch nonsense hasn't done much to ease the lag, but it's still fun to laugh at the hubby who dies from it. (WooT BoT!) His many deaths led to me purchasing a Blessing of Teva (BoT) from the Fiesta store, and I try to keep one going though I tend to find it has expired at a most inopportune time. p.p

Guild wars in Uruga causes a bit of lag too, but it isn't as bad as Eld. If you can't use character hide (like me on Char) quit your party and whisper to join when you're outside Eld. It usually works a bit for me. At least I'm not in mid run for 5 minutes while the computer tries to catch up. q.q
<(Q.Q)> (>^.^)>

~*~*~

This year I hope to accomplish a few things. Namely helping more noobs learn the game. After I cap Ada I'll be tending to my alts and the people I have helped on Char. Everyone needs a nice cleric to revive them when they're down. (>^.^<)

Now I'm off to see about the slaughter of moles. >:B

[Ballantin]

First of all i need to sorry about my english...

1.- When i discovered this game, just clicking by mistake in a banner. I was so bored of the games i was playing and was thinking to leave all... and i did lol, but to start playing Fiesta. This was on the begining of march.

2.- Not a good moment, but i love to play with more people, make friends and enjoy the game with they. When i hitted level 20 and did my job change quest, i tryed to join a guild and noone want me u_u. I was frustrated and i thinked... omg this guys are so strange and will be hard be inside this closed community.

3.- When i was just assuming i will not find a guild until level 40, i finded one of the best guys i meet in Fiesta. DrFeelGood open his guild for me, TombRaiders. He also asked my hundreds of questions, helped me... and thanks to he i meet a lot of new friends like Idykwick.

4.- My first giuld war, i cant remember the name of the other guild, but was nice guys. We meet in a quet place and we did some awesome duels. No afk killing, no low level killing, just a lot of fun PvP. I remember a guy that dont want to fight me because i was so cute... :eek:

5.- One of the worst moments, when i was forced to leave fiesta because my work and some familiar problems. I really missed my friends. I only was on the game for 2 months but i did great friends. This was on May.

6.- When i come back to Fiesta, was a good and bad moment. I finally realiced to come back, finally. Was so excited. I was only lvl 34, but who takes care about the level? But the bad feelings comes because my old TombRaiders firends was not here u_u. I was alone again...

7.- I was meshing around in Elderine when someone send me an invitation. I thinked well another guy trying to acquire the Celebrity title. But not, was a guild invitation (for now i dont know who send it...). I was a bit esceptic about it... only 2 or 3 guys online and i was trying to be friendly but i was a bit ignored... but no, they are great, in 2 days i was all the day typing on guild chat, making new friends.

8.- When i reached my new friends level, and start to play together. We was all the day playing, joking, leveling... Really funny. I finded that my new friends are awesome (Thanks Shagtastico, Mendin, Miserys_Eyes and th0inkz :D).

9.- My wedding with th0inkz. A lot of people come and was a cute ceremony. All was just perfect :O

10.- When i hitted level 60. The world changed for me as a mage. Now im a desirable party member. The new spells are awesome. and now im no more a low level :D. I also can help my friends to level faster. Now im near 70... and im sure i will reach 89 and continue helping my friends and enjoying this amazing game.


For me friendship is one of the most valuable things. I didnt put much anecdotics moments, just important ones.

Hope you like it.

Greetings from Ailena, my little mage :)

[davisf18]

Well I decided to be honest :]

1) My absolute favorite moment in game was having the first marriage ceremony in Solstice! I remember it completely...Me and Kagura we're out with a few friends mobbing when Kag decided to repot. This was a week or two after Jot had opened up and my newest dream was to help plan weddings for players. Well as Kag was repotting in Jot he came across Break sitting in the middle of the map. He talked to him and I whispered to kag "TELL HIM ABOUT MY IDEA!!" He did and Break told me to come to Jot. After me and Kag spoke with him he proposed that we be the first to get married! It was totally awesome and we both said yes xD What was funny is that kag never actually proposed to me until the day of our wedding, which was a BUSY day.

2) Creating the Solstice Se7en! It was Me, SiL3NCe, Ferria, Mikoto no, Ameranth, and a few others who decided to travel to the far ends of the new desert maps. The whole party was chatting on ventrillo when me and ferria started to sing songs. then everyone joined in we sang everything from sailor moon to backstree boy songs. Soon after the Solstice Se7en, hottest band in solstice, was born! Our first and last hit was the famous "Poyomon" song themed by the Pokemon theme song. It was great and an amazing experience.

3) Making the Essene Adventures (http://www.outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33633). I love comics and manga and I love to make up my own. So having alot of inspiration from the game and friends I decided to make a comic. It only lasted for 7 or 8 issues but thats ok. It was about experiences that had happend the week I made each comic. Things like Muxi getting her first white cat and GuildMaster scamming people. It was a fun experience and I would liek to comtinue making them.

4) Around level 40 me and a buddy (Neptune.) decided to explore the uninhabited Sewers! We we're very pumped and did not know what to expect! As soon as we entered the underground maze the music alone had us excited for the unknown. Little did we know how dissapointed we would be that the mosnters we're very low level! We spent a few hours in the first maze trying to find the exit AND each other. It was still great even though we couldnt get much exp, we had alot of fun.

5) Solstice Podcast (http://solstice.mypodcast.com/index.html)! I had allways listened to podcasts and thought that it would be fun to make one for Solstice. So i gathered some buddies together and we all sat down in Edine (great background music) and started talking about the game. It was a huge hit and everyone loved it. We try to do one every week but sometimes we would get lazy. It's fun listening to people talk about something with a universal understanding.

6) Another top 10 moment had to be when the game first hit Open Beta. Everyone was at the same level and no one was worried about being better than anyone else. But we all flocked to the maze! We would huddle in big groups of 20, about 3 different parties working together just trying to get to the end! It was the biggest thing we had in Solstice at the time and the highlight of our day. it was amazing how well everyone would work together and we never left a man behind. So many different people and classes coming together to accomplish a single goal. One of the best times ive ever had.

7) Becoming a Community Leader was a very big dream for me. I was allways helping people on the forums whenever I could. It was an awesome job, I thought. I worked hard and tried not to get on anyones bad side and eventually I was honored with the task to become a CL and iv'e been loving it ever since.

8) Creating the Solstice Magazine (http://www.outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138693) as of recent was something I had allways wanted to do. It took alot of time and effort but I actually pulled it off with the help of some friends. It was so much fun putting it together and then seeing the final result. It was even more fun getting the community involved by asking what they wanted to see in the future. I would get PMs about ideas that players had and it is just a very exciting time. I'm allways looking forward to adding new and interesting ideas for Solstice and the forums.

9) My birthday bar-b-q bash! It was the most fun I had ever had. So many people showed up and it was just amazing. We played games and chatted a whole lot. People we're very nice to me and we all had a blast. Rider even showed up and summoned some poyo poyo as a birthday joke but it was so funny and I loved it. I will never forget it because I wasn't able to do anything for my real birthday (personal issues) and it was great getting to spend time with some great people.

10) Over everything that has happend last year the thing that means the most to me is all the people I have met. There are so many interesting people and players that I have met through this game. So many life long friends that I will never forget. I have met alot of interesting people. My two best girl friends Anmbia and Sawyer, My big brother Fireslinger (notfire), my best guy friend and husband Kagura, and alot of others that I would like to mention: mikoto no, SiL3NCe, Ferria, Misao, Enix, ARNOTA, StriderHein, Haruko, Muxi, Break, Rider, JungleCurry, Xentrix, Serric, Hoyo, KC Edwards, VampMelody, Dylan Angel, Roada, Nixxy, Shiki, Xanthe, Alyssum, All the members of my guild "Monster Hunter Corps, and so many more...there are just so many that I cant name them all! But I am so happy to have met each and everyone one of them.

You need to post 10 atleast.

[The-Sakura]

Having all the GM's and CL's give me a big thank you on the thread I made - It was the best moment for me in Outspark ^_^

(I took a break, and that's the one thing that really really really stuck out in my head)

I have another moment, but I'm only submitting one ^_^ You'd have to talk to me in private to get my other best moment =)

[HeartlessKairi]

:o I knew this kind of MVP will come sooner or later. Yay time to list my essay on my top 10 favorite moments of 2008! I have alot of favorite moments but I guess I'll list what I love the most!


1. The wonderful family I have. (Sora*, Darla, Elementality, Helen, iHammi, etc.) I always spend my day with them until this day and forward! I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. You guys are the BEST!

2. The memory of my guild, Retribution. Dylan, Pepsi, Nils, Ele, Helen, DarkMiko, Quintin, Sora, Darla, Celest, ouka, Suzaku, Lugosi, dre, etc . I would never forget the day I met all of them. Without them, I would probably be level 6x and will be alone for the rest of my sos life! I thank them for coming to my life. I thank DarkMiko, Elementality, and Helen for meeting them first. :) Love you guys!

3. Obviously, my class change to Cleric & the birth of Nuffles, my poodle! ! I can finally prove myself that I WILL be one of the strongest healers out there. Kind, Loyal, and Honest. The event wouldn't have occurred with the help of my lovely friends! Friends are the key to everything! Must remember that! Also, my lovely poodle that was born 2 hours before I class change was always with me no matter what. It's a girl's best friend too you know!

4. You thought I would put this as #1 Huh?! >.> But as always, the events, especially...Pursuit of Xen! I don't like the event just for the xens (okay maybe I do MOST of the time...) but I do it just for fun! The point in the game is to have the higher level and have fun right? Being the highest leveler is not my thing...especially when everyone surpassed me by now but I learn to have fun throughout the negativeness in the event (Hey! Not every event is perfect!) That to me is the main point of events created by our GMs!

5. Arguing in PvP lol. >_> Alot of personal about this but I have fun arguing with people in PvP. (Debating is so my thing 8D) Although they killed me here and then, I have fun despite I had lots of Loses Points which doesn't really matter. Despite all this drama in PvP which still occurs today, some of the arguments throughout can be fun and funny! Find ways to joke around and be serious while arguing! So that way you don't fully slice each others' throats >>;.

6. Grinding! Yes I know. It's not fun. Especially when you die and no pendant on. Despite these, the more you lose exp or such, the more you want your goal! Pain in the back but grinding can be fun if you choose the right party who takes jokes and seriousness. Doesn't always depend on the boost! Look at those boostless people! They surely show how much they want their class the fair, cash-less way. Choosing the party (I have an official one but doesn't mean I can't go to other parties!) that was "destined" for you to be in, you will have fun and won't realize you just gained from 40% to 60% when your 10x without knowing! xDD

7. Sitting in town doing absolutely nothing. Just staring at your screen waiting for Alastor to pop out of nowhere and give us the path to our deaths. Hoorah! Sitting around town doesn't mean your going to virtually sit there till you die! Grab a random person or a friend and talk to them! Sure your friend will call you a nub and use a slap emote on you and SURE the random person can be a newbie asking for free stuffies but it's better then doing nothing! You'll have fun doing it and will likely be the reason why everyone is slacking O_o;. Jk :D

8. HELP! HALP! HULP! Helping is a way to get your reputation in the game up in the positive way! Who cares about reputation?! Reputation has been removed on the forums anyways lol. I like helping people especially newbies throughout the game. You can be annoyed as much as you want when they are slow figuring things out but weren't YOU like that? I was! D: I'm like "Omg. ._.' NO ONE SAW ME IN THAT NUB-STATE." The best community is where everyone helps each other out, that's the kind of community I like to be in! (Already love this community ;D)

9. WACK! BONK! BANG! Wack-a-Mogras! *_* Okay it doesn't have to be Mogras but everyone loves wacking/poking monsters or people in PvP! Whether to annoy the heck out of that person so they can kill you for ruining their Amplification or be mean to a Dark Wing in lvl 1 Brynhilld Sewers because they destroyed your Spiritual and wack them so you can be lazy and just auto-follow them! Fun fun fun!

10. Annoying the GMs! Haha! Technically not annoying them but yea. Whether it's "GIMME PRIZE PLZ." or "I WANT A PERM ITEM OR BOOST!!!" it's nice to bond with the GMs here and crowd towards them as if we were fans of them or something. GMs have tried their hardest and I like to praise them! I'll be giving my gratitude by hiding between the crowds and act like a nubbie (<- Might be Stereotyping but this is no time for editing my own writing D<) and cheer for the GMs! GET THEM LOYAL GM FANS!!!! BEG THEM FOR THAT ANGRAMINRYU OR WHATEVER IT IS!!! Haha! xD

Okay not really long as others but it's 1:15AM as I typed this =.=. I hope you guys had the BEST 2008 EVER since it'll only come once a NEVER!

[Btw, I only have played Secret of Solstice sooo lol. Everything ^ is about SoS ^^~]

[saiyou8]

;) here we go...

10. The day I got my blue lvl70 wand! I was soloing in the lvl50 abyss on my cleric, took the whole room at once... Inv got full but I thought I'll take the last mob. Luckily I did, the mob dropped me a blue wand! I just randomly dropped something from my inv and picked the wand. I got 13g from it, I was stupid 'cause the stats were good and it would've been worth more. But 13g at lvl55 was pretty good xD
9. getting the buff skill at level 47! omg, I was buffing random people in Elderine for the whole week. (well now... I feel like a buff machine. D< )
8. I made my own guild, Kindergarten. It's for beginners (and to anyone who wants to help the newbies). I hope I can make even some low level players used to the game and help them as best as I can! I also hope there won't be so many lvl60+ noobs ks'ing and hacking ppl when they get mad at someone.
7. Valentine's Day event. I love the crown so much, I still like to wear it.
And the free beauty shop coupon was awesome prize. I didn't like my potty hairdo before the beauty shop. </3
6. This isn't a happy thing, and I didn't like it at all. But it was shocking to hear. GM Dakkon left the Outspark Team. I really didn't belive it at first.
5. The Japanese Costume release was a WHOA xD I love kimonos and such... Too bad I couldn't buy sc back then D;
4. This might sound odd but... I got my first sc after Halloween 2008, it was like YEEEYyayayay xD. I waited for so long to get a credit card, at first it didn't work... Then I had to wait more and then with the updated credit card I was able to buy sc. It was awesome, really worth of the waiting.
3. The wedding patch. When I saw it on the forums, I swear I jumped like 5 meters to the air from my chair.
2. I met my ig hubby. Gawd, we didn't know we were from the same country until I logged on my main and he saw my ig name xD (Karpalo ~ Cranberry) It was shocking 0.0 He is awesomenubcakelolwutd00d.
1. I met my best friend in-game. -haii sandii! *waves*- He is an amazing person, he has helped me through hard times.

-sigh- Good old times. :)

[Callypso]

"What were your favorite moments at Outspark 2008?"

You know.. it's really hard to judge people based on memories. What may be one person's best memory could seem really minor to everyone else. So whoever's judging this MVP round has a hard job ahead of them. But no matter who they choose, I still think everyone above me (and below, if there's anyone after me) deserves it. I mean, they're your favorite memories, and they will be ahead of everyone else's for .. well, probably ever. :3


These are in no specific one-memory-is-better-than-the-rest order...

~ ...Except this one. Meeting all of my friends here is definitely the highlight of my Outspark life. Ravenna, Naotaru, Kambra, Trente, ~Cole~, Sicily, Tori-San, Recycle Bin, Celten, Dipple, Desomancer, Skittles <3, Sephirn, Sarneftra, Alagan, DJ D-Styles, mikoto no, all my guildies... There's just too many of you. But I couldn't ask for better friends, even if I don't get many chances to talk to some of you any more (I kinda miss ya..). I wouldn't trade you for better grades, ever. xD
You and SoS taught me that making friends is a whole lot easier when you don't have direct contact than it is in "real life." You made me value my "real life" friends more than I already did, and that made me value you more.
It's really easy to type "<3" and "ily" and such.. But believe me when I say I really love you guys.

~ Joining my first guild, Free Players Union. I was waiting for that day for so long, though I know if I'd just been a little less lazy, I could have been in it when I first applied. xD I stalked their thread here in forums, chatting with the members to get to know some of them better. Then, since I was taking so long to get to the level requirement, they just decided to make an exception for me. I think I finally got past level 45 about 4 months later. xD

~ And I only did that with Tori's help. She helped me with all the mine quests and whatever the one after that is with the sealed report. She's the one who got me every one of the items I needed for it (except that sealed report - it was in my hotel. o.0) and she wouldn't accept any payment for ANY of them unless I tricked her into it. She still hasn't been fully payed.. I went from 43 to 46 that day, which was her goal for me. If I hadn't leveled to 46 (Magic Fire skill) from the quests, she was going to go powerlevel me whether I liked it or not. But she didn't have to, because I got "mah fiyah beamz" and I was so thrilled. I'll forever be grateful to you, Tori. You made my month. <3

~ Forums! xD I love posting, if you hadn't noticed. Though I try not to spam. o.o; I can remember Zyrianna and Nolifer having really long chats late at night, in about six threads at once, all of them with different conversations. xD One day I just plopped myself into one and now they're good friends of mine. I met Solstice people via forums, too. ^^ I found it really funny when I'd finally meet someone in-game that I'd been talking to for weeks on forums.
I also find forums helpful if I'm totally lost (world map. D; ) or am really bored or to keep up with current events.

~ It's weird and I think it sounds conceited at first, but the other day I got called popular while at one of my hangout spots in SoS. I'm not at all in the "in" crowd at my school or anyplace, and I never thought popular people were anything but snobbish brats or jocks or something (even though I knew otherwise), and I never wanted to be one of them. I'm still not popular in my reality, but that day I realized it was actually okay to be popular. I already knew it in my head, but it never really meant anything to me.. For all I know, I am the way I used to think "popular" people are, but I doubt it. You don't make friends with fantastic people by being ... for modification of language, mean. And even though I don't remember who said I was popular a few days ago, thanks. It made me happy. ^^

~ Random Insanity, the group before the guild. There was a bunch of us that hung out by the Crazy Old Man in Brynhild and we all had a grand old time just chatting. It was a common place for people who were bored with leveling to go. The last few months saw new RI members, some good.. some with pretty bad attitudes. =/ It's a lot more common now for RI to be empty. I now rarely go to Bryn anymore, much less RI, because I don't expect people to be there and I don't want to be in an area with negativity and clashing personalities.. But I'll always have the early RI days with me, and I'm glad for them.

~ All of those hours spent online and not doing my homework. You guys made my grades go down! xDD That really shouldn't be a good thing, but it's telling me I have fun here. And that's all I needed. :3

~ Well.. I can't say changing to Mage or Cleric or Scout or Rogue or Disciple or Knight was a highlight, because none of that has happened. But I love it when friends of mine reach a goal of theirs, whichever class that may be. And I can go to anyone's, because I have access to all of the towns even though I'm only 47. xD I love going to class changes and taking screenshots, even if it isn't ever mine. I know I'll be the one with the Cariscobanas one day, even if it takes me another year.

~ Speaking of which.. another favorite part of SoS 2008, or memory, or whatever, is Jottunheim. It's by far my favorite city. It's beautiful, it's blue, it's icy (xD), and the music is breathtaking. I think I've said this many times in other conversations I've had, but I didn't join Solstice because I liked the look. You know that one minute trailer (http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1022738733950) that used to play on the old site for registering at the portal -- or something? I played it over and over, but I only watched the whole video once. Then it was just for the music. I started playing SoS for the Jottunheim music, though I didn't know I had to be level 60 just to hear it again. I was so thrilled when I went searching though my computer files and found the SoS OST, and so mad when I realized I couldn't play it right away because it was all in .ogg format. Thanks Ameranth, for the file conversion site that I was too dumb to look for myself. xD And thanks, whoever picked the music for Solstice, for putting the Jott music on that video, because it's given me some of the best memories I'll ever have.

~ Solstice is my first MMO, and I'm really glad it is. The community is great, even with the ups and downs we have. Outspark, though slow with new updates for us, actually cares about us, and that's something I haven't seen in the other MMO companies I've played since starting here. I started playing January 20, 2008 ... I've been here almost a year now. I've seen so many game changes, class changes, fights and makeups. I've seen people get to where I could be now, and I see new people joining every day. I haven't gotten anywhere at all, but I know I'll be sticking around long enough to get somewhere. ;D


I thought it would be hard to come up with ten things, because at the start I only knew four of the them that I would put down.. but now I have a few others on my mind that I'd love to add but won't. If you read all of that, I've taken up too much of your time already. Thanks, though. Thanks for the memories. :)

[cloakwoods]

1st. My first real memorable moment would have to be my first KQ on fiesta because it isn’t like other games where people will get in parties and just do the same quest over and over again when in KQ's every single person has there own role and u have to work as a team.

2nd. well this is still a work in progress but i came up with the idea in 2008 so to start a guild that performs plays for the amusement of other players

3rd. This is a great memory for me because its pretty funny and yet sad fully true at the same time I was in the gold hill KQ and i was going to be a tank (sound ok for now but there’s a catch) i was a cleric. No one minded that i was tanking since there wasn’t a fighter except for 1 mage who was so against it that he said he would tank. So every one let him tank against Marlone he died soon after that. so back to the point this was the first time i got to tank

4th. well this would have to be the release of black shot since im a huge FPS fan. I would have to say this looks different than other FPS ive played. For one it looks like its pretty even and doesn’t lean to snipers (I like this because im a sprayer my self)

5th. Would have to be one that I think is over looked a lot but my first mini animal on fiesta because there was a feeling of success and accomplishment when I got it out of the chest. It made me feel happy and I was proud that I didn’t buy one I worked for it. Its was a great feeling for me so I would have to put it on my top 10

6th. Another good time I had in 08 was when I became an admin in the guild I was in. this was surprising because I wasn’t very high lvled and I hadn’t been in the guild long. It just goes to show how many nice ppl there are on fiesta and how being nice and polite can achieve great things.

7th. The Christmas event. This is more of a unhappy memory with a little good memories mixed in because I consisted of lvl 60+ mages and fighters killing or stunning me over and over again or killing u when u open a chest. But it was an interesting event had a new spin on holiday quests. I also liked the awards like the glasses and the Santa hat. The pets where a very nice spin on it as well. Sad fully a lot of ppl who didn’t need money got a lot of money by selling the pieces for 300s. Any who good event

8th. The ppl who play outspark games are a huge highlight of the year. I have never met a mean person like in other mmo’s. also there is just a wide variety of opinions and beliefs it is just always fun meeting new ppl. Also the ppl at outspark are a highight in its self because there…interesting like the gm’s random thought of the day I got a kick out of that.

9th. Hmm this is a hard one but for me it would have to be writing for the chronicles of Isya story yes I didn’t get nominated but I had fun with it Im improving my writing so ill win next time. But it showed us how creative some ppl where and how its is a great gift. It was also the 1st event I participated in so it made me feel like part of the community.

10th I have a feeling some ppl would put gm_dakkon or how the got to lvl 89 or how the kill tanked the mini-dragon on an event last night or how they didn’t die after running to uruga with no armor screaming FLARGEN BORGEN…sorry different story ok my final one would have to be one new years eve when my friend and I where messing around taking screens in FB2 then GM_snakeEyes logs on and kills my friend for 40000 dmg and then I started running with all my interfaces off and die but the main point it was the first time I got killed by a gm at the same time he told us happy new year!!!!!!!!!! After that we danced with him

Becoming a member of the Outspark community was definitely a personal Outspark memory for me, for pretty obvious reasons.

Joining the [ocean] guild and making friends has been such a great experience, so anyone who has found a second home in their guild, this number is for you. ^^

Holiday quests that provided permanent items (cat head, ftw!) made the year exciting around the holidays. Not to mention those big scary dragons around Christmas time!

(weddings are added)

Number three for this year would have to be all of the updates. Level caps were raised, level restrictions were changed, new material was added, and a lot more. Although sometimes the updates came later than expected, they came and 2008 changes make me await the possibilities for 2009!

And number one on the list this year is the simple fact that we all made it! Outspark saw and overcame a lot of changes, had their ups and downs, and here we all are! Outspark has provided us with a great beginning, and hopefully 2009 will further the chapters of our lives as gamers.

Thank You

Thank you Silkypico for the response :)

Hope we can enjoy a lot more forum events :P

[huntess]

So....we all won? ^_^

[amythyst1969]

I didnt know this thread was here, but now that I do know.....
Even though I had only been here a few short months, they have been memorable. I remember my first few days in Epith, I started out on my Aihealedjoo cleric which I still use until today and still leveling her up... I didnt know where I was or what I was doing. The person that brought me to Fiesta left me 2 days after bringing me there. I played without armor or new weapons until I hit level 14, thats when I found out I was supposed to be wearing clothes and changing weapons and I was supposed to have a shield.
I ran into RobLinkBlind soon after in FoM. I still remember the day he was following me around. Some would say stalking but I didnt see it that way. He was looking for good players. He asked me if I would join his guild. I have been in Yakuza_in_kimono ever since.
I didnt know much still about the game, or kingdom quests, or partying up for certain quests that were too hard for 1 person, until Samissria2 came around. She has walked me through many many different things ever since. Still today she continues to amaze me.
About that same time I met Ninja4. I remember I hit lvl 20 and passed my test. The guild and everyone was in FoM dancing and partying for passing my shadow quest. He came and stood by me and danced. We started talking soon after that and hung out for a while as friends. We became close after that and he asked me out. He was so surprised when i said yes that I think he was climbing out of his skin. LOL! We waited a few months before getting married. Til this day our characters are still happily married.
I have met many many friends and aquaintances...and kingdom quest partners, and questing partners... friends in Elderine, Uruga, and Roumen.
Like I said... I have only been here a few short months, but they are very memorable ones. I thank everyone for being a part of it.

[amat38]

-Hehe nice i read all of your posts hehe well here is my 10 memorial in my beloved game that i had more friends or even family in it that made me always think that iam not alone at all but there is always someone to take care for me :D :


1-well hehe first thing when i first started the game i spawned near remi the camera was soo close to me that i didnt see any thing well i started running and jumping like a crazy person all over roumn till i saw slimes that (at time) i thought they was players :S (i know stupid huh ?) well i returned back to the character page and i wanted to make a player like slime well you can say i stayed there for like 2 hours till I called my friend and had a big laugh at me and told me the truth O.o .


2- well in my first lvls i never knew how do you get a quest or enter a kq or even teleport to another places so from lvl 1-13 i stayed killing slimes like a stupid noob and beleive me it stayed days to lvl up hehe i fell stupid to tell these things :P .



3- well hehe i remember in my first 20s i had a hard time knowing where to find specific mobs to kill for my quests (i didnt know about the U map that shows server map ) so i was jst running and asking all people about these place and beleive me i looked like a noob xD .


4- this is my best memory at all and its a about then honeing KQ that everybody says its impossible to do well i did it but with a help from the godess aka GMs :P well we was doing boring old fashoined honeing KQ and knowing its a fail but hoping not :D well we reached 2nd floor and 16 mins only is left at the begging of the second floor GM is there lvl 60s and 70s too i was like What the hell (Major corruption) hehe they started grinding and helping us and i was still in a shock like aahhow ????? well guess wat it was a success i had the present box i was dreaming of huge prizes before i open (knowiing how rare its completed as a KQ ) well poof i opened it :S .. mats jst high quality mats like 10 stacks it was good at a time but now i say its not that special :P .



5- well when i made the guild with my friend skull breaker lvl 84 fighter ( 41 at the time) well mmh we was fighting for who will pay 100s and who will pay 200s to make a guild ( which is now called Death_Gods) well it ended up for both of us paying 150s :P stupid huh xD .

10- know its the last but the memories will never end knowing that it could come in bad and good way well the last memory ill share with you guys is when my beloved grandfather passed away it was very hurting and sad thinking that iam not gonna see him again and for me the outspark community has helped me alot to get through it and only for that i want to thank all the people that supported me in my worst days .

[pujaliscious]

Hehe This looks good. :) Mind as well try it.
After being on outspark last year I valued lots of things ;o The things I enjoyed most were....

1)Being able to experience a whole new world of gaming. Such as meeting online friends. ^^

2)Understanding how a kq and quest worked. (It was hard o.o lol It took some time to understand but I got it).

3)Meeting gms!! and interracting with them ;D They were amazing and helped when they were not busy. =p

4)Creating a guild family ^^ Hehe _BlackAngels_ got to be fun :D and I think its pretty awesome.

5)Lawl meeting my wifey's :0 (in game friend-wise) We're there for each other (:

6)Lvling with many distractions x.x but finally achieving the title of going from a "noob" to a high lvl. :p

7)Having fun, although there were many stone-hearted people wanting to ruin that.

8)Ox field and playing hide and seek in it :o It was really fun, its just a place to chill and hang out with the friends.

9)Events!! haha the rewards were fun to get to x]

10)Getting away from horrible real stress and taking it out on a game rather than doing more damage in real life. :p
