[Winner Announced!] Birthday Giveaway! šŸ°

There are sure many cool moments. Hard to recall all and of those remembered itā€™s hard to decide which was the most amazing.

I decided to go for the one of anticipation and excitement just before Boundless premiere. This choice might be influenced by the fact I recently posted about it in a different post. It might feel a bit repetitive because of that and Iā€™m sorry if it feels a bit like spamming right from another topic from a few days ago. Still it was such a nice memory and sudden recall of a moment and a video I forgot about completely, that I couldnā€™t resist choosing it and using again here.

Straight to the memory now:
I invited whoever I saw was online that day and a few people arrived to my quickly built hut and garden (placed next to dormant meteorite). It was a lot like waiting for rental worlds update now. A lot of forum talks and excitement building up over the last few days before release.
It was nice to share the anticipation with others and when I decided to record it and make a video they all happily obliged to pose and act a bit (most of behavior was natural and spontaneous but I did ask them to do a few things or stand in a certain spots a few times).
My guests were @Heureka , @Grovinski and Virgil (whose user name seems to be different, if he still plays at all) :slight_smile:

to me it is not so much a memory, but more something that is still going on.
That is the friendships that are built on it. The things you do for each other. Without Boundless I would never have run into the great people, like @Mukaltar1337, @Bethlehem, @Spoodle and many others which i dont know the names on the forum.
I started playing when it was still in test and met many great people, still do. And it makes my life a lot less dull^^ and i am very happy to help everybody out in a way i can. Thank you for that Devs and Boundless, that is this Biggest prize you could give me, and i am still winning^^ thank you. happy Second Anniversary and we go for many more!!!

with love

Mining for iron on Solum with an iron hammer thinking I was a bad ass only to see someone come by with a diamond hammer. That one stuck with me.

Hmm best momentsā€¦
Meeting my first friend at my place on Arie, when the trees were barely saplings and I a humble noob :blush: @anon52472533 came and helped me out with some cool gear and I was in awe of him and his place! He became a good friend, and though we donā€™t speak much now I still class him as my best Boundless buddy :black_heart:

Collaborating with @DKPuncherello on my first community project, the forest competition (although I did very little in the ways of organising or helping :laughing: ) it was great to be a part of something!

Meeting someone who I actually love building with (I never thought I would with my anxiety) building with @boundmore has been amazing, thereā€™s no pressure (Iā€™m slow, easily distracted and love to start things and not finish them!) Heā€™s been awesome :smiley: and our styles compliment each other wonderfully.

My other best memory would be making the Oorty doll and sending him to the devs, and Leah posting pictures of him :blush: :heart:

I realise all my memories are of people, but the community really is one of my favourite things here!

There are a lot of people i havenā€™t mentioned who have made my time wonderfulā€¦ @wakeNbake @BabyCookie @bucfanpaka, plus @JaceyLive I miss those hunts! @DaOne82 @Damagekai @CrazyClaws

Iā€™m sure there are many more Iā€™ve missed! Youā€™re all awesome :heart:

@Leahlemoncakes My favorite Boundless memory would have to me ā€œGuild Wars Meteor Leagueā€

Our team trained for weeks. How many meteors could we complete in 30mins to 1 hour. It was the most serious event I have partaken in Boundless.

Iconic vs Legends

A title that popped up on many pvp events in game and was always a lot of fun.

You always greatly humble me with your kind words, @Trickyy90; I donā€™t deserve such praise. I can honestly say that whenever I think of Boundless, you too come to mind. I guess that makes our friendship my favourite Boundless memory. :black_heart:

Thank you. :slight_smile:

One of my Favorite Boundless memories was when I first started playing the game with one of my friends and I might have been level 20. He took me on my first hunt and didnā€™t realize it was going to a T7 Blink Exo planet! It was so much fun running for my life!! Getting sneezed on and dying instantly.

My favorite memory on boundless was the first capital battle on Maryx that lead to me meeting Awkward where we became best friends and went on to build many projects including Code Gleam.

Favourite Boundless memory of mine would be establishing Ultima Guild back in EA times on Therka :wink: with my 2 pals. (Sadly they are gone now :frowning: )

Here is pic from the same moment we agreed on playing together from now on and opening portal from our village to Moebius Plaza :wink: which was unofficial center spot for everyone :slight_smile:

Second biggest and warm memory i still remember is opening our planet network relay station for community for the first time :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

here is screenshot :stuck_out_tongue:

That was entrance to it from Therka Planet in our village :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

3rd one would be this - a great hunt with devs on tester planets before official game release :slight_smile:

there were like literally loads of ppl on that hunt :wink: here is some of them after Meteor hunt :wink:

PS: Thanks to this game i met my wife :slight_smile: So yeah great memories :stuck_out_tongue:

My favorite boundless memory is when I had just met a friend and we went to Cloud City in Imdarri and we were running around and she didnā€™t stop and fell off the city Into.the lava and a couple residents went to rescue her. Then we joined the Golden Fist Guild.

I got this game while I was recovering from emergency gallbladder surgery and it was the distraction I needed. It helped give me a distraction when I was in pain or when I couldnā€™t sleep. I havenā€™t stopped playing.

There are a ton of memories that are very enjoyable, but Iā€™d like to share a few that were transformative in a variety of ways for me (and the game some I feel)ā€¦ Many were driven around community and how connective this game can be.

  1. When I started back in EA there were not any community group hunts. I helped start the first group hunts and it was a blast to show the power of 40+ people hunting in the community. I believe that because of those hunts it led to the Meteor event or at least helped inspire it. I still do miss the ability for normal ā€œlarge mob hunts without a meteorā€ but think those of us that helped keep those first hunts very fun and active helps change the game forever. Here is one of the best pictures I have of the first hunts (I think @Kirinvar took the pic). This also I feel is one of the best pictures Iā€™ve seen. It was from my an area in my town called Eden on Berlyn.

  1. As meteors were being developed we had one of the first group hunts with James and the Devs as they tried to fine tune the event and design of the meteor. This screen shot was from one event where @James decided to drop 3 Lvl 6 meteors on us at once. Talk about a blood bath and utter chaosā€¦

  1. This screenshot was from the Release Test Universe where all of the community was able to see the first new planets as they fine tuned the planet design and moved us closer to final release. We had over 50 people hunting and exploring all the planets together. It was a wonderful time and I wish we had more events with the Developers. The beauty of this picture was how the whole community fainted when they saw a Blue forest for the first time. I think everyone said - I want to live there!

  1. While I find the release Universe very nice, I still greatly miss the planets from the EA Universe. I really hope at some point the Devs find some time to catch the planets up to the current release and some how find a way to let us all explore those EA planets. This picture was from my and Repa11ā€™s build on Elopor and showcases how wonderful things can be when you have floating islands to build on (well under - thanks @Kirinvar for the great build).

  2. This is probably one of the most special moments for me during release. The illuminoorti guild commemorating ]i[ Pheminorium Gateway Primis (the first official Capital of Pheminorium after release - and maybe in the whole game based on the time) and my character getting the first Viceroy.

  1. My funniest memory is seeing the ā€œsmallā€ furnace workshop by my friend @almund in the current release Universe. Iā€™d hate to be his sous chef.

  1. My last funny EA memory was seeing this huge tower on Epsilonā€™s and after a long climb up it just becoming amazed about the wonderful work of this guy I didnā€™t know (@Gorillastomp) but thinking, ā€œwow what a beast at building and grinding!ā€ Little did I knowā€¦ young grasshopperā€¦ :slight_smile:

My favorite memory is probably starting the game, just the sense of awe it inspired and figuring everything out for the first time was such a treasure, those moments in games are few and far in between.
