Old CW's Germfree Clan

Hello! I'm HQD. I used to play KoL back in '09-'12. Coming back to it a decade later is really fun. So much has changed, yet in some ways it's all still the same. I was a member of Cir Senam's, if any of you remember that clan. I would stay up very, very late into the evening to clear out hobopolis with friends I'd met in the clan, and those are some of my favorite gaming memories. If anyone spots Maemian, let me know!

Aside from KoL, I'm a video and board gamer, a writer, and a bridge player. I love sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure. I love my family. I got engaged this winter and am so, so excited to start my own family with my wife-to-be.

In-game, my main goal is to get back to killing hobopolis bosses. It's a shame you can only get 10 drops per fight now, but it's still the best way to contribute to the clan I think--getting 1000% item drop wasn't hard back in the day, and I'm sure it's only gotten easier now, and with most drops being worth 50k+ on the market, no one should have a problem (in my opinion) donating 200,000 meat per boss they kill, which means hobopolis pays for itself. Anyway, it's what I loved back then and I want to get back in shape for it.

To that end, I'm gonna churn through a few ascensions to get some basic skills going, things like Ambi Funkslinging, Torso Awaregness, Familiar-buffing skills, the +item% passives, etc., and then hope to roll through hobopolis a few times. We'll see after that. Maybe speed runs, maybe more ascending, maybe I'll find something new to do!

Gonna get my six bad moon runs out of the way right away, starting with black cat disco bandit. I'm excited for them Kudos to Moondog for the fortuitously-timed contest!

Thanks to everyone for the warm, warm welcome I've received in clan chat, particularly from Zoloft, Chunky, and KingDave. Glad to be a part of OldCW's. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hello, I'm Zarino. Played around 14 years ago. Happy to be here, and thank you for having me.

26yo American guy who has been playing KoL on and off for the last few years. Haven't managed to get the gumption to join a clan until now, so this is my first clan. Glad to be here!

I am a long-time gamer, first-time KoL-er. I'm having a great time and may be essaying the basement soon, although I feel apprehensive about making an error both in chat and in the basement itself. Thanks for having me.
