RE: Deep and Meaningful...
TPK. I remember finding the website with Nova back in French class 2013. We spent pretty much all hours of the day playing hunting for Rayquaza on the mountain maps, I had always been a mapper and he had always been a battler. My oldest memory of tpk is when I found my first Rayquaza and I loved it. The thrill of finding a legendary Pokemon all on your own, this was before chaterpie was a thing. Shortly after the spark that I had for the game was put out and I was dedicated to my studies and my future and retreated from TPK. Years had passed and I hadn’t touched the site, let alone cross my mind but one day mr and Nova was talking and we were reminiscing about the good old days in which we used to play the game. Later that evening we both logged on to TPK Green server around late 2016, when I tell you we was out of place and felt like we were joining a new game all together I mean it. Chaterpie was a thing! New minigames! And who can forget the new maps, a switch clicked in my head and I fell in love with the game all over again. Mapping became the second most consistent thing I did in my life apart from breathing. We got back in to the swing of things, we made new friends, met some old friends whom we thought we lost through time due to us leaving but no everyone was still there. Months later Blue server was alive and it was a whole new feeling. Reset for me is 6am U.K. time, I woke up at around 5:45 am and stayed awake in an attempt to get a single digit user iD but I was slow , I proudly claimed user iD #12 and I don’t regret it one bit. More and more people were joining and find our way the brand new site, battling our own teams to make money and to level up. Back then Gronks impressive 120k battles a day seemed like something a madman would do... nvm he is insane. Shortly after the release of Blue I took another break, my heart was broken as I was cheated on in a 4 year relationship and I shut the world off. I would spend nights listening to music and reading books but I was never ‘happy’ whilst doing them until one day I was scrolling through my laptop trying to find an online Pokemon game to play; I tried Vortex(meh), I tried Eclipse and Creed (Ew) but amongst them all I was always drawn back to TPK. I logged on to see how far the server had gotten and I was just amazed. The first 1k pokemon was in game! This was motivating for me and helped me gain pace for the game YET AGAIN! This led me to play tpk daily, my daily streak is now 717, it would be higher but at the beginning there was days I forgot but now first thing I do before I get out of bed is claim it before I make the same mistake (too far in now to start again). At this point I had gotten fully in to mining and became more consistent in doing so. I’d watch Netflix and mine in the background, be out for a meal mine in the background and all sorts. TPK had finally became a part of my life again fully. Months after doing so I began to take an interest in maps and how they work so I asked B0sh ‘how do I make one?’ B0sh being B0sh he educated and taught me how, I’d mess up on a tileinfo layer or something he’d laugh it off and tell me where I went wrong. This for me really pushed me to make my first map the best I could ever do. Delphinus Square is born! My first ever map, I had never felt so nervous yet so happy about something online. I was more worried about people hating it but no TPK community loved it and it had pushed me to make more maps (and unreleased ones hopefully soon to arrive). With Raz being MIA as he moved house and Misaka being occasionally busy irI became the resident spirit and soulless spriter, it was hard don’t get me wrong venturing outside my comfort zone but it was damn well fun to do. TPK is ever growing and ever changing and to me that’s one of the coolest things a game can do, you’ll see games similar to tpk but they never get updated and they lose their touch but that’s not the case. Thanks to B0sh, Altios and Jess forever improving our TPK experiences. As the years pass TPK veterans leave and move on with life and new players join but deep down I have a strong feeling TPK will ALWAYS be a part of us as it has brought us all together introducing us to people we never thought we’d meet sure some people can be obnoxious, bitter and spiteful and some can be sweet, caring and generous but at the end of the day they are who they are. Who are they? They’re our friends. The Pokemon Kingdom will always have a place in my heart and the friends I’ve made and come to love will always have a ear with me if they ever want to talk regardless of how stupid or idiotic it is :p. TPK is going to miss you Flatter. You will always have a place in the community and you will always be loved. I hope whatever you do in life you succeed in it and it makes you happy, please don’t forget us but most importantly don’t forget the memories, good or bad. Unconditional love and best wishes from everyone’s favourite Magikarp! ~ Gimbo (not Gumbo) Gimbo not Gumbo
You gained a smelting level! Your smelting level is now 666. Life owes me 250k with 30% interest Gumbo smells 1,700,000 left from Lazy |

RE: Deep and Meaningful...
I originally joined with a group of friends. We'd stay up all night playing, grinding WTC etc. When i first started what got me hooked was honestly the competition for WTC. What really ended up making me stay though was the community. I remember hanging out mIRC all night w people, and eventually making groups and venturing off into playing other games with them. It was always somewhere that I could go to relax after work or whatever was going on at the time, and even if it wasn't on TPK itself, the people were still there.
