Sema And Shaiya

Started out a young little sin, doing a 4str/1dex build after reading a chinese build guide before I started. (Yes I do research before actually starting). For the 1st week or so I was scared we were still in open beta, and that one day my character may suddenly be deleted.
Helped make the guild copacetic, didn't feel happy so left, then went guildless till I made White Roses at level 40ish. Took pride in leveling quickly, and loved the game. Popped in my first exp stone at lvl48nm and felt a sort of guilty pleasure.
Made White Roses with 6 other people, the names I can remember are: Semanti, Miph~~~(28 nm pagan), Paintrain(18 nm Warrior), Tjatlarge(13 nm pagan), Kelstraint (11 nm sin), and 2 more dear people that have helped make White Roses a reality. Miss the times when Tj and Pain fought (which always ended in Tj's destined defeat).
Upon hitting HM, got hit by the wild fantasy of getting pvp rank 8, the 30k kills took all of 23 days. Those were the glory days that fury ruled pvp, because of organized parties and twinked pvpers. Needless to say, I failed a class that semester. Grinded hard till lvl 38 with my HM war, but couldn't take it anymore so quit. (Sema's first time leaving shaiya). Came back in the summer of 2008 and got to HM lvl 50. The frustration of solo AoEing in FL3 still haunt me. Those were the dark days of the guild. 90% of the time I was the only living soul in the guild.
Finally got my war to HM 50, and made UM characters. 1st UM character of the White Roses was an Oracle. By the time I was making the oracle, found out I wouldn't have a dorm to stay in for 1st semester, so it made it easier to delete my NM sin (that could turn into a horse) and pass lead to Tj, and also reuse the name for my UM oracle. It has been 4 months (still counting) since my departure, all the while shaiya has become a unfamiliar place, but I'm glad Tj has kept my home White Roses alive.
Can't wait to be back playing shaiya.
