Old names. New lives. Same ridiculous chat energy.

 

Former XPugs, friends of XPugs, rivals of XPugs, forum ghosts, flag carriers, raid callers, bench warmers, drama witnesses, and people who still remember one suspiciously specific voice-comms incident: this beacon is for you.

We were a lot.

There were good times. There was bad blood. There were questionable leadership choices, player-skill debates, elite little knife fights, regret, temper loss, screenshots, whispers, mirth, merriment, and an unreasonable amount of people acting like proximity chat was a dating app wearing plate armor.

No matter where you stood then, this page is a small blue flare in the old battlefield. Maybe you want to reconnect with the whole group. Maybe there is one specific person you wondered about for years. Maybe you just want to see who is still out there.

Reconnect broadlySay hello to whoever still remembers the guild tag without wincing.
Find one personLeave a note about who you are hoping to reach and what name they might remember.
Keep controlFor now, share only what you are comfortable sharing. The old drama does not get admin privileges.

Send a signal flare.

Want to reconnect, say hello, trade old names, or find someone from the XPugs orbit?

Whether your memories are soured by the group’s shortcomings and failures, or bright with the triumphs and friendships forged along the way, I hope you will reach out. Time has a funny way of sanding down old armor. We would love to reconnect, hear where life carried you, and maybe gather a few old names around the campfire again.

Signed,
Your short-sized, short-tempered, gloriously bearded gnome friend,
Fizzen
