My pleasant afternoon experience

[sovereign]

Sometimes I join to play in my trader character just to take a look around and see what's going on (who's on) before deciding what I'm going to do (which character I'm going to play with). I also use my trader to move gear around while making an extra buck for future endeavours.

Yesterday I realized my trader was a bit off my usual route because I had done just that (move gear) a couple of days before. So I decided to circle around the upper part of Sirius trading to reach Bretonia, where I needed to pick up some other stuff. I hooked up with another trader, we procured ourselves an escort and then left Rheinland. Apart from the nice little piece of role playing I did with the other trader, what really surprised me is that I crossed half a dozen other traders in my way. Out of those six, five were tagged and IDed after some corporation. On my way to Bretonia I've seen: Republican, Bowex, Kruger, Gateway and Daumann. Couting my own, Interspace, those were 85% of the traders in the area with a mindset broader than that one we take most traders for.

I must say that in conjunction with Kusari's beautiful sceneries, that made up for a pleasant afternoon alright.

This thread's intent is to say: There's hope.

I think that was me you convoyed with (Wash). I was going to mention it in similar fashion, but I see that's been taken care of. It was fun, and we even managed to maintain respectable RP when our escort lol'd. (Blasted Manhatten slang...)

If only I hadn't had to stop playing then, it would have been perfect (firewall was about to turn back on)
