[...] Sanya M. Weathers hat in ihrem Blog einen tollen Artikel darüber, wie ihr optimaler Patchablauf aussieht: My Dream Patch Day, And The Junk.

Hiya Sanya,
A buddy of mine thought that you might be interested in the online version of Ultima 4 I’ve been working on for the past couple of months. This project has been a labour of love in the attempt to take a GREAT old game and convert it into a web friendly format (Flash). Here is the link: http://www.phipsisoftware.com/ultima4/Ultima4.html
Thanks for any comments you can offer,
Blair
Just wanted to say hey. The name ‘sanya’ is something that I remember forever ago when i played DAOC. I remember feeling as though you were some strict authoritative figure for Mythic.
Anyhow, by some chance of an internet Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole i ended up at this blog. You’ve got some wicked humor and perspectives on things. I’ll be back. ’til then, take it easy!

As a player of DAOC since December 2001 due to my brother dragging me into my first MMO game and still playing, that post was funny Sanya.
As a former DAOC player, I looked forward to your Friday Grab Bag every week. They were a part of what made that community special. Things were never the same after you left.
I’ve enjoyed following your blog here. I hope you keep it up. It’s been a while since your last one.
