5-Oct-2008: Shilla's demise..long live Shillatime!
I never expected Shillatime to be around after Shilla died.. But that time has come.
Yes, Shilla is officially dead now. This will be the very last message devoted to Shilla.
I think I should mention the fact that it's probably a good thing it died, because if there was one person who had an ego, it would have to be Lumberjak/Melkor who was singlehandedly running the show and coding things that no one would ever see. Also, Lumberjak/Melkor essentially did the same things I did, except he was the admin of Shilla, and I was the admin of Shillatime. Besides, Hestas can go back to playing Sims 2 indefinitely now, and make up Sims 2 stories that no one will ever care about but himself. :)
There are many names to be mentioned, Frostbite, Isaac, Sotrin, TwoD, Kalfir, and many more… you guys were all great and I wish you the very best in life.
I think Shilla has also learnt many of us real life lessons, which means it has been far from a useless experience. There is always more than one way to view what ever has happened in the past. I also wish Bp the best with his life.
This chapter is now officially closed. It's been incredibly fun for as long as it lasted.
P.S. For those who want to relive old memories, feel free to browse this site and perhaps play The Warlock Game. Or maybe not.
P.P.S. Some history facts: Shilla as we know it was created by Blackhawk in June 1997. Tim bought Shilla from Blackhawk, after which Hestas eventually took over. Hestas was no one other than Bluehawk (Yes, he was his own best man on his shilla-wedding), an other admin at that time. Thinkso was also an admin appointed under Hestas. During the BIG reset (end 2002), a shilla player called Ashaint was promoted to admin as Radagast. A little later, due to admin inactivity, Lumberjak was promoted as the admin Melkor. Recently, Nappavas was also granted an admin account (VooDoo). Shilla also had many testers. To name a few, Bonzo, Adira, Lumberjak, Mikey64. There also used to be a tester forum which was supposed to be a secret - but everyone behind the scenes knew about it. Testers often could go into areas that weren't available yet to other players. Testers were also given information regarding mechanics of Shilla, most of which was thankfully used in this helpsite to help other people (Most games give this crucial information out themselves, so players can play the game appropriately).
P.P.P.S. If you feel like adding something, don't hesitate to send an email.
