Whoa, hearing that I feel like a total newcomer to the BM community. My first account was made in 2009, but I took a break and the account was subsequently deleted by the system I think. My current account/family has only been around since January of this year. That's a crazy lot of history, when did you make Alanna?
Most characters don't reach that age though because the player leaves, or the player gets bored of the character, right? I'm surprised the realms I have played generally aren't just councils of old players sending the younger off to die... maybe it's because I haven''t had a normal character lead a normal life on EC.
