Hey all, Boksan reporting in. Its been awhile, my old PC simply couldn't handle Firefall anymore around 2013ish, so I've been out of touch with everyone... Recently got a new rig though, and first thing I did was reinstall Firefall, only to discover it no longer really exists, which was incredibly depressing despite already having heard of the issues beforehand. Not even half an hour ago though I got an email from Firefall forums inviting me to a private conversation regarding Ember, and now here I am.
For those that don't remember me (don't worry I won't feel bad if I've been forgotten lol), my name is Jon, I'm 28 years old. I work in a forensics lab, and spend the rest of my time with my family, which nowadays seems to consist of trips to the local park so my daughter can catch Pokemon on Pokemon Go. In terms of my Firefall experience, I was the guy endlessly thumping in the XP Valley outside Sunken Harbor in his Recluse for 10-15 hours a day, hosting thump parties for experienced players that wanted fast resources, controlled thumping tutorials for newbs, and in general causing serious mayhem when i got outnumbered and accidently unleashed multiple Chosen invasions on every location in half the region due to absurd amounts of incoming Chosen drop pods from trying to solo 3-4 group thumpers at once... Lol.... God that brings back memories!
It's good to see a lot of familiar faces already even though this forum is brand new. Hopefully we'll all be able to work together and restore the original vision to its rightful glory.
Right now I'm imaging Firefall on a funeral pyre on a boat floating downriver as the archers loose their flaming arrows. The arrows strike and ignite, and an Ember rises from the ashes, like the fabled Phoenix. The Ember, carrying with it the essence that was Firefalls original vision, assumes a new body, and begins a new journey. Long may the Ember burn brightly in the hearts of gamers, Long Live the Ember!
