oky i know this probly isnt high on anyones list of complaints.. but i have the first suit of comp i ever made.. i made it for a freind that hunted for me.. it was one of the first suits on radiant as i was master by the time berrilius copper spawed or atleast the day after.. soo we all made comp the same day.. or same 2 days.. it was a rush for anyone that played on radiant they know. this was before the days of doc buffs soo people didnt shread theire armor. It wasnt great it had the borked electric stuck at 7% or was it 9%, thebase was 38% with random encum and eff sliced.. I named it bounty hunter armor.


Well anyway my freind left the game and i moved on.. i had beenmaking armor sinceday one, launch day , oky it was day 2 or 3.. had to lvl up makine those well sought after 30 damage cdefs and 5% power ups.Ihand crafting every suit i ever made.. except on my first and last 20 suit run.. the first and only run i have ever done till now. I made bone.. and chitin when it was all we could.. when all the smiths went to ubese i lvled in exp and made the best chitin on the server eventually all my hand making armor finally got me to master.. with just one and a halfboxs left,, the day berillious spawned i did make tantle chests.. Yay the berylius spawned ! I had 3 guilds worth of customers and had i not i would have had a riot.these were 3 of the biggest guilds on the planet 50-75 person guilds. it was a lot of work but to keep bussniess down i moved into the mountains of naboo. about the end of august. Lake retreat was the closest shuttle and that was about 4k away keren was over 6k away and that move took me all night.. and 5 trips walking 5k each way.


that suit was made and i forgot all about it.. by the time october came around i was sick of the million tells a day do you make comp.. i want a suit of comp but i only want the best one you make blah blah blah.. i swtiched to custom only and i specialized in padded. The big factory smiths sent me all there padded customers and i told people who to goto.. thanks atlantishCH for those customers and getting those comp doodz off my back .


well the time moved on and i sorta started to get away from armorer and dabbled in some other stuff.even custom was geting old after igot flamed on the boards by some guy that said i never made his suit.. it did take a few days longer than i thought.. 5 days not two.. ore shifted. stuff happend. i ran outta stuff.. only 3 factories and he wasnt the only customer.. nor first on the list.. though i sent him mails for 2 weeks tillhe told me to just keep it i should have just made him take it..


I fianly joined a guild after 6 months and decided toopened up a cantina in one of the biggest player cities on the server at the time.. we had over 25 crafters and mulitiples of every type.we became known as the city that had it all. goodprices and lots of nice crafters. Sure there was a few trouble makers but they didntlast long and by this time the guild was over 100 people and we all know that when there is that many people around there are bound to be issues but i did my best to avoid it. after all im a crafter not a pvper. I had lots of fun but armor had worn thin and a new person moved to town and took over which was fine by me.. hand crafting for 7+ months i had enough..


well one day as i was decorating for my grand opeing of "Qaurks Drinks and Droids" my old freind parisina came back and poped in.. I was soo shocked to see them and i showed um around and gave um some money. they had a bunch of old resources we mined togther. I got hooked with some awsome stuff and i in return gave um new gear, money and lots of other stuff. and best of all my old freind was back. Well i had a few suits of 85%+ comp lying around and said you probly need a new suit of armor right? well parisina said ohh no i have that suit you made me way back.. I laughed cause i knew it was the first suit i ever made.. well i gladly traded it and thought where should i put this.. Well it dawned on me.. In my fish tank ! all fish tanks have a diver right?? soo there it went.. my tank is where the normal bar is and people always saw wow.. what a neat idea. People would laugh at the suit, some would chuckle, some noobs would just say it sucked, but it always got a remark.the old vets would say.. i remember those suits, i cant belive you still have one !


Then i heard about armor and weapons converting to the CU.. and i thought wow this is going to be even cooler.. it will really be a piece of history now. Well the other day i looked at the stats and it had been changed.. i nearly cryed. This game to me ismore than credits, more than gear, more than who was 733t and who was pwn'd.. it was more than soo many things.. the game is memories of freinds that have come and gone and more that have been around since the first day i loged in.. That suit represents soo much.. and the old stats were part of it.. i had a bunch of stuff i wanted to keep my old "starfleet" issue carbiner (cdef carb) My first DL44 that i used for nearly 2 months and all the way into 3 boxes of pistoler just cuase it looked cool,( i stoped using it after hitting a lair and checking thecondition it was down to 1.. almost broke but not quite.. it was like the gun was saying SAVE ME. My bio clothing treatments made by a freind that found my long lost pet the massive gnort, which i dumped for a stupid bantha.. i still kick myself in the A$$ for that one.. he was soo much fun in the cantina's. a gnort that was taller thansome humans ! That suit ment a lot.. more than 99% of my stuff.. which btw is all crap now lol


that suit was probly the oldest suit on any server and people that have been around knew it.. and now.. its just another peice of crap.. I want that suit back but i know its never gonna happen..maybe ill put in a ticket anyway just soo to make um have to answere it.. ive been playing since launch i think i atleast deservean answere. or maybe some dev will read this and feel nastalgic andput it back theway it was. ya right, like that will happen. But if any of you that want to come check it out and maybe pay your respects to a day long gone stop on by radaint..


come to naboo and Dark Sin, and to


Quark's "Drinks and Droids" and say hi.. and just trust me it is that old old old suit..
