About - Vahrokh Vain

This web site is a place where you may meet me regardless of which of countless ways we could have met in the past.

Content will be added in the next months and years about the small or the great adventures I lived with hundreds of people since when Internet did not exist, the “network” were analog modem BBSs and, when lucky, FTP.

I reserved a spot in my fond memories to everyone, some persons stick out of the crowd and I want to thank them for their kindness, abnegation, efforts at improvement:

WoW: Anpu and too many to list, you are still in the ever-rebirthing Deus Ex Machina which I was honored to lead in years past. Also, an affectionate kiss to Nanho. The dozens others I did not mention, you will be all recalled in the videos I will post. The many forum supporters when I fought a years long battle for Feral Druids as Sahrokh Of Genjuros.

RetroMUD: Once again, too many to mention. Elur was the kindest, Shar the brilliant, Danik the edgy lunatic that hides his value, Dorisena the Big Blue. Zandar the ethereal, almost unreal Templar… Kainessa the one Dragon King wife. Dakota, Ipoip, Wxyz, Froggy all of you healers, all of you outstanding. Sera who spent good times with me.

EvE Online: Roful Koptur big heart. Raw23 always a nice talk, Shar the other uncomfortable teller of truths. I also owe Mitch Taylor many, many hours of fun and laughter, fearless top notch Fleet Command. Good and fun when drunk, hilarious when FCing with his house fire alarm screaming in his microphone.

Istaria: Felicia the master crafter, Papy the ever available guild leader, Dakoren friend through so many, many years. Chasing the outstanding and upstanding all doing, living MMO heart. Lillyjo the endless well of selfless acting. Sapphiroth my RP father. Shulahravaukar the good Lunatic. Ruth the Priceless, I wish you all the good you deserve.

Warhammer Online: many guys in Resurrection and then this top Eltharion server guild Nagarithe Corps of the golden times gave me a very good time, some would never cease to amaze me with their skill. Badmagik and Nazneen just to name two nutty champions.

Last but not least, the two things that started this all: the red (of course!) Vahstor The Terrible featured on DragonRealm.com and Arokh the good and heroic red dragon in Drakan, a little jewel of a video game for its times.
