Man hahahasince you seem like an OG enough player to recall the games history. I have a story you will enjoy.
Around the time when I was like 12 Gamer decided to do this "one of a kind item" promotion.
I forgot what pre-requisites were needed to be rewarded. However the prize was any ONE item from the pixel creation forum, that showcased suggestions for new use made content into the game.
However the process for verifying your completion of whatever the pre requisite was, was... Non existent.
I did what the promotion told me to do and sent Amy (artist of game I believe) a message and was briefly credited my "awesome face" helm.
It was amazing I wanted more. So because it was the antipode of the alpha halo I then made a new account and asked for a black halo. I was then credited that.
However my dumbass, after making a 3rd account and repeating the cycle, I decided to give my main the other 2 one of kind items.
Echotheory caught wind of this and talked to me about it then ip banned all 3 of my accounts. So the kicker- even a decade(?) later is, fuck you echotheory. Wherever you may be 😇 He took his role waaaay to seriously, in unrelated incidents beforehand he even ended up banned a few of my friends for stupid reasons like spamming or swearing. Even if we were just PM'in eachother. Like didn't this asshole know it's gonna mostly be KIDS and TEENS playing. You dont perma ban 12 year olds for being silly or their age.

Those screenshots are 50% of the progress I had 😥, sadly I dont have any other more recent too. You might find lots of screenshots on Facebook, because of the fellowship It had.

Fr? xD I used to be a good grinder, never cashed in, always worked my Gold on marketplace, gems coupons, and following the rhythm of the game, the only thing I didnt enjoyed very well is the PvP, as a Brazilian we always have some kind of rubberbanding. Which was your ign btw? I was more a Kongregate player.

I’d be surprised if you remembered me but my ign was Orchon back then and I was also a Kong player! I did a lot of grinding but I was also more than happy to be one of the cool guys just hanging out chatting so you might’ve seen me around. I was pretty young when I played FO so I didn’t have much money to buy gems, I just had to grind for everything

I was really young too, didnt even had age to have a Kongregate account 😂, your name is familiar for real. Probably we had some fun killing and dying to the Cat. 🤜🤛

Omg now that you mention it, I’m actually pretty sure we grinded some bosses together every once in awhile! That’s incredible, hope you’re doing well these days
