Joined back in 2014, spent some time by myself, just casually playing the game and quitting right after for 2 years. I came back with a friend of mine, and my second journey actually lasted longer.
By 2019, I got into a [Damned] clan, while being there I started making more and more Toribash inspired art, like edits and 3D renders, and had a good time being Event Artist (still to this day, but I'm pretty much retired). Right now, I don't really dedicate myself to Toribash that much, as I used to. It doesn't feel the same anymore, when majority of people you used to play with just moved on, or join the game very rarely.
For the close friends part, I didn't really meet any, just the people whom I liked and was having a good time with. Anyway, it was an awesome time and I'm really thankful for it <3
