How To Help The Server: Pro Tips from a Pro

[sheam]

I pray your doing ok, Anna.

Edit:
Those of you whom may not know, the last I heard from her is that she was "..suffering from some nerve complications and was anxiously anticipating a hospital visit.. " and that she also did not want any of us to worry. -_- I tend to worry a lot, sweetheart. Especially when I'm told not to 'bout hosp visits that u confess u're worried about. Its in my nature.. So please, if you ever manage to read this, take it as a sign you weren't forgotten, ok? I hope you're doing good.

Anna Maria is one of the few truly benevolent and kind hearted players I've ever come across on heRO, let alone Online Gaming itself. Free from peer pressure and politics crap. A lot like someone else too.. A Tinkering Alt-Loving Pacifist with a "Good Temperament -- arronack quote =P"

Anna was loyal only to herself -- which included helping us as a gaming community. If you have a moment, read the posts she's made on the forums. I assumed English isn't her first language. Many others are like her, but atm, notice her.

She first caught my attention because people said she wasn't good at something. My friends and other heRO's were annoyed by what appeared to them to be an inability to "invite and lead an adequate Muspel party." (One that many others were eager to prove they could do better, ones that always said they were ready once "a muspel was already formed," some that asserted themselves as essential (stressed cause their skill level put more on them for success and failure), others still learning how to notice/handle that perceived stress in others, and other such predominant male bravado. )

I did my best to redirect.. Admittedly showing off sometimes.

Looking back, I always appreciated your existence on heRO. -_- .. you never asked me for anything that I can recall. I remember when Nu was helping us level a full party of heRO Newbs.. and you weren't in range.. I made everyone stop and wait so that I could, by myself, help you get in range @ neko island. Not because you were WoEing for us, because you were friend of some Guild Leader .. But because you were Anna Maria. And you deserved it .. without it ever needing to be mentioned? And without anyone ever knowing it was done for you? To Gain Something in return From You. It was the universe trying to silently Give Back. And only really now the sappy unsung song of heroes be heard.

Hat's off to you, Anna. Wherever you may be. You helped show us that sparking interest, and trying Your Best, gives people a push.. allows them to reflect .. and bring out the Best In Themselves.

Had you not been so adamant about public Muspel runs, I sincerely doubt they'd have got as popular as they were over the summer. No matter what insults anyone threw at you, don't ever forget that If They Could Have Done Better, they Would Have. And Eventually Did, for However Long it May have Lasted Until You Left..

Thank You.
Your efforts were not in vain. In part, because of you...



We Got This.

And you'll never be forgotten.
