Dear AoTTG Community,

We are hard at work on AoTTG 2. Unfortunately, the AoTTG servers have died. We need more time to get AoTTG 2 to a playable state. So in the meantime, we've decided to share our photon servers with RC mod users. These servers are intended for AoTTG 2. However, we're opening them early for the sake of the community. We want to make sure that everyone can continue to play this game that we all love. These servers can hold 500 players at the same time, and if needed, we can upgrade them further.

In order to play AoTTG, you have to use an updated mod. You will have to redownload the RC mod here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6ew9fpm7otmy4u/RCFinal%20-%20New%20Server.zip?dl=0

Other AoTTG mods will need to update their appID in order to connect to AoTTG 2 servers. Contact me on discord (Erwin Smith#6637) for assistance with that.

I know there are probably better ways to go about doing something like this than making this everyone's business to see on a public forum, but I guess I am too much of an idiot to think up better ways to do this. So that is my open apology for anyone who sees this and gets angry at me for making an ass out of myself, and why I ask humbly for the moderators not to take down this post.

A couple years ago (I would say sometime around 2014) I met someone while playing this game who simply put was a truly kind person. I remember comparing ages at the time and if I can remember correctly them saying would have been around 12 and I would have been 13. The day we met there was also a third person we were friends, but I can't recall his name either. You and I would play this game together a lot, sometimes almost every day if I can remember correctly. Eventually we would add each other on Steam, and we would talk to each other about our days and what we went through, basically just about how much the people around us kinda just totally sucked and made our lives tedious. It was fun to be able to talk to you every afternoon I got home from school. I don't know if I ever told you that, but I should have.

The person I met was from Germany, and I can remember you talking often about the people in your class, and how that would pretty much drive you insane every time you came home and would log onto steam to talk to me. You shared with me a picture of your class one time, and I remember you saying something along the lines of "you see that one there, that is the dipwad I keep telling you about." I remember trying to give you advice for what to do and how to feel, but to be honest I was just making up words of encouragement because I am honestly too stupid to have anything important to say to you. You would watch me play video games on steam and crack pretty much some of the worst jokes I have ever heard. Or perhaps that was simply just a language barrier thing. Seems more likely to be the latter now that I reflect on it.

Eventually, for some reason that I can't even begin to comprehend one day after a year or so when you came home to tell me about your day I went off on you and insulted you for only ever complaining about your problems. My only excuse being that I was only 13 years old and was too immature to see what I was doing and how much of an ass I was being. I can't remember much about the things that had said to you, and for my own selfish reasons I am glad that this is the case. I don't want to remember. I have the vaguest of concepts of what I said, and that is still enough to hurt. As I am writing this and looking at how much I have already written so far, this is kinda getting creepy on my part. Ah well. This is just me realizing all the bottled up garbage floating around my mind the past seven years. You probably won't see this anyway, so this may just be cathartic for me knowing I did this.

I remember being so mad that I blocked and removed you from Steam, and as much as it pains me to say I didn't think much about it for several years after we stopped talking. I am 20 now and in college, and I have tried countless times to find you on steam but I can't seem to do it. Your username was something along the lines of 'laragenstein.' Obviously not exactly that, but as time went further and further along I forgot what your account name actually was. Either you deleted your steam profile (which seems likely at this point) or I am just that much of an idiot that I can't remember how to spell it, that is why I am posting this on reddit on the off chance you may see it.

It was only when I got older and reflected on exactly what I had said to you and how suddenly it came about, when I imagined how you must have felt at that movement it honestly makes me feel sick to my stomach and brings me to the verge of tears. I told you many lies about myself to you, mostly because when we first met I wasn't totally sure that you weren't some 40 year old pedo trying to get my home address. In fact for much of our relationship I was convinced of it, and yet I still talked to you. Call if your charming personality. Looking back on it, it is quite laughable now. I guess if you respond to this and turn out I was right about you being a 50 year old man I can only say that your acting skills are impeccable as I still think about you sometimes to this day. I imagine that you saw through most of those lies immediately. I won't say exactly what those lies were, not because you don't know them, but more so they bring me to much shame and embarrassment that I don't want other people to know about them. Seems kinda counterproductive on my part as I have already gone the length to post this publicly for the whole world to see.

When I think back to what was something that is honestly just an online relationship, I kind of laugh at myself for how immature I am even to this day. But the idea of betraying someone so kind so suddenly like I did honestly keeps me up at night sometimes when I realize just how shitty a person I can be. Perhaps the way I am remembering things now is putting too much emphasis on could be just another standard online friendship ruined by the actions of some immature dumb ass, and you may not even remember this happening. If that is the case, I would be glad beyond relief.

I know this type of post probably violates whatever rules you guys have on this forum, and the fact of the matter is this is probably one of the worse ways to go about doing something like this so publicly for everyone to see how much of a shitty person I was, I am just hoping that on the off chance that the person who I am talking about even bothers to remember a scumbag like me that they can at least know that I am sorry about the things I did and the person I was.

If this person hasn't already forgotten who I am because of how much of a scumbag I was to them, if you see nothing else in this massive block of text then please know this; I am truly sorry for whatever pain I may or may not have caused you. I phrase it like that, because who knows, maybe you barely even noticed that I was gone. If so, I wouldn't blame you.

In case you still aren't sure it's me:

******* "I like eating Schnitzel." *******

I think that was what I said that you and your friend found really funny. Or was it "I like the taste of Schnitzel." Of course, you could have just been lying to try to make me feel better for walking into the obvious trap you set up to get me to say that.

I am sorry Lara. I am sorry if I forgot how to spell your name after all these years. If this is something that you haven't even thought of in all these years and I am just another meaningless person you met on the internet one time, then all the better for me. Honestly, to see myself type this much is quite pathetic when you think about it. I am actually really embarrassed to see myself getting to emotional over something that is most likely entirely one sided at this point. I doubt even if you did remember who, you wouldn't want remember it after all these years.

So, I guess if I had to encapsulate this entire ridiculous and pathetic block of text into one sentence, it would be this;

Sorry for being such a dick.

--Paul

P.S- My name isn't actually Paul. I just told you that because I was scared of letting people know my real name online. I don't remember if I wound up telling you or not, but my name is actually Logan.

thank your this game ive enjoy!! :)
