O
Or maybe more like finding a needle in a haystack..
For a little backstory, I was once a strapping young lad, playing Battlefield 2.
I was 14, a bit of a loner, and so I found my refuge with games, most of the times BF2.
Somewhere in my late hours I found a server when I could play with my below-average computer and crappy internet without getting killed over and over by the same no-lifer jetpilot.
The =NRU= server.
Here I spent countless hours knifing people as SF, doing 900m headshots as sniper and reviving Crazy_macaronii as we raided the enemy strongholds.
I grew fond of my little online "home", where I was picked up and... Nursed I guess you can call it. I felt like the littlebrother of the server admins.
Eventually, my classmates began playing different games, of which WoW caught my interest, and I quickly lost interest of the BF2 adventures I once loved and cherished.
The result of this was that I lost contact with my comrades from the =NRU=, whom I at this point was a part of. I remember being a member of your forums, being given minor administrative roles and keeping douchebags out of the air.
Now though, I've recently invested in a great piece of machinery which runs 64player BF3 battles on high with a lowest FPS of 80, and so I am back in the race.
Earlier today I stumbled upon one of your servers, and the nostalgia hit me hard. I began to remember all the fun times, and also what I had left.
I quickly left the server to bookmark it and check out if you had a platoon, and a website, and here I am now!
Where am I hoping to go with this? Trying to relive some of that old nostalgia? Trying to show how much I've grown as a person? Just trying to get together with some online friends? I don't know...
This is where the tricky stuff comes in!
I do remember crazy_macaroni.
The rest of the names are a bit of a mystery to me.
Looking through your members, the only name that kind of stands out is sodrids, but I'm not sure.
The only info I can give you is that my name on BF2 was Swede_drummer , I was 14/15 when I played with you, and that it was back in 2008/9 (with some quick math, that makes me 19, soon turning 20), and I am Swedish!
Hopefully I made an impression strong enough for you to have remembered me.
If not, then I wish to thank you none the less.
You're a great bunch of guys, you run a great couple of servers, and I wish you the best of luck!
tl:dr
I was in =NRU= 5 years ago, under the name Swede_drummer
Does anyone remember me?
