If we could get everyone together on a server it would be good fun. I
dropped in on Reds server a little while back and bumped into a few old
faces on there. Had a great time and it was strange, felt like old times
again.

When you play against a group of people that you recognize if does make it
more fun. I agree that you will not get back to the heyday of this NG but
does that really matter if all involved still like the game and have a good
frag :)
