My 3rd anniversary in PoE - Thank you GGG

Hi there,
i just realized that i hit my 3rd anniversary in PoE today and i think it's time to say thank you to the team of GGG. So:

"

Dear Chris Wilson and all the other people working on and behind PoE,

you did a very very (VERY!) good job the last years and I'm really looking forward to the next 3 years of awesome content, races, leagues and changes to QoL and classes.
I really can't imagine what you guys are going to do in the next expansion(s), but i'm sure it will be as beautiful as the last ones.
Keep in mind that you/we have a strong and solid community who (i hope) is willing to spend more effords (and bucks) into helping you guys making this game even better and famous.

Kind regards from germany
a nameless and loyal player

Thanks for the time, see you in Wraeclast!

wow thanks for posting bro

We Germans just rock ;)

Hitting my 3 year anniversary on the 31st. :)

Happy bird-day!

mine came and went without fanfare, given I was totally hopped up on pain meds that day. interesting how quickly those three years went, and how much the game has changed right under our noses.

three years ago:

you could not play unless you had a key, which you could only get via giveaways or that godforsaken ticker

there were two acts

act two had no boss

we had four difficulties

there were no maps, only a simple random dungeon

multistrike, melee splash, cast on condition, echo, totem, fork and chain supports did not exist

arc, static strike, the counter attacks, whirling blades, ethereal knives and storm call also did not exist

the shadow and the scion did not exist

there was no voice acting

no items had any particle effects except for the keyblade

there were no mtxes

there was no trade system at all

all loot was free for all

Shavronne's Wrappings had yet to break the game

the characters and stashes were wiped most patches

there were no races

there was no pvp outside of the bandit quest

you could not buy stash tabs

six links were so rare, if you had one, every player knew it

Chris was in the only global chat daily

there was no Australian gateway

there was no in game moderation

there were no floating life bars

there WAS phase run...



and that's just off the top of my head.

:o charan joined after me

missed mine.
