First of all Happy Birthday NJR87 :partying_face:

As many of you know, Generation Zero stole my heart a long time ago, largely because of this community. I’ve played a lot of games over the years, but I never joined any of their communities. I arrived here as a rookie with questions, and I stayed because I enjoyed the interaction far more than I ever expected.

Being one of the older gamers, I tended to forget the locations I’d discovered, so I started creating a map to help myself find them again. And, well… we all know how that turned out. Many of you ended up liking that map as well. Working on the that map only deepened my connection to both the game and this community.

Besides missing the conversations with all of you, I’m really going to miss the forum’s search functions. I’ve been archiving some of the pages on the Web Archive so they won’t be lost, but it will not be the same.

Still, some of us weren’t quite ready to lose contact entirely. Madchaser set up a special Discord server, and we’ve begun turning it into a place where we can all drop by for a chat. New GZ players are more than welcome too, there’s always room for questions and discussion.

We’ll even be holding at least one :christmas_tree: Christmas Event of our own there. Nothing big, just something fun to keep the spirit going. :grinning:

Not sure if the bar is open yet, but I have a couple of minutes to drink a nice Belgian Hoegaarden White beer before I’ll have to go, because I’m getting thirsty after all this talking. :beers:

Hey, where is @NJR87 ? Shouldn’t he be here? Perhaps he has celebrated the day already with too much Linie Akvavit.

@MilesLexicon very nice of you to join the Last Get-together. We all will miss this place.
Let’s have a beer and have a drink. Or coffee if you are on duty… :partying_face:

@Madchaser, your input on game mechanics, combat, weaponry, and technical stuff was wonderful to see. Especially your drive to help others with the game, I really admired.

I too hope that we can save the GZ-spirit, we need people who are willing to commit, be there for others, make time to chat. Only then our place can survive. It might not be that much GZ- related in the end, but the people are bound by that game. So I hope more people will actually start participating. :rocket:

We need Ianforce’s easy and poetic way to start new topics, and his easy-going way to get people to join. We need young people with a totally different look at the world. We need the Vynim’s of the world, who are strong when the going gets touch.

WE need the old garde, like Saddletanks, Helldivers and Vati’s, to join me on a park bench and gossip about the people passing by.

There are so many people who made this place a daily haven, but I can’t name them all. You know who you are. :heart:

Does anyone want to throw up a game we can connect to and game for a bit. No need to talk if you don’t feel like it, just everyone jump on a game and blow up some bots for a bit.

It would be an absolute honour to fight alongside you, sir! I’m on Xbox is that a platform you can join me on?

That would have been super. And also a first for me. I’ve only played solo. It’s probably why the game always behaved quite well for me. So I’ve missed that aspect of the game entirely. In a way I kind of regret never getting into teamplay. But for me the GZ univers was much of an “all alone in the world” experience that really appealed to me.

I’m sure I would have enjoyed playing with you guys.

And not to forget my new found friend Timmo, a British Explorer extraordinair, with who I went on fantastic journeys you can read about, on the Greetings from Östertörn server. I lured him with my map to the forum, made him fly a Twin Huey, all the way to uncharted areas to find evidence of a lost nordic civilisation. Set foot on dragon infested islands, and much more.

Who would have thought that the Covid era could bring two like-minded souls together. Explorers, even beyond the radar. :helicopter:
