Community Quotes

Each quote was chosen by the respective forumer over Discord. For those wondering why I didn’t make a forum thread for this, I wanted it to be a bit secretive. Which is hard to do when you’re spamming 4 dozen Discord users. A third of you ghosted me, and another third of you didn’t check your DMs, so that was fun, too. None of you (I hope) know one another’s quotes yet. Something I found funny: Candy and Unicorn came up with the same quote, and there would have been another duplicate between Mizumi and Textbook if Mizumi didn’t switch to “hug.”


Forumer Art

Several of you got small art pieces. Was in a time crunch, so I wasn’t able to come even close to getting to everyone. Drawing this much in just a few days drove me to the edge of madness, but I think it still turned out quite well! Also, this list is far from complete! I’ll be drawing more forumers within the next week or so! So don’t worry if you’re not listed yet!

And thus, the sun begins to set on 2020, leaving us eager for what awaits us next. Thank you to everyone for keeping this forum thriving, and thank you to you, specifically, for clicking on this thread and celebrating the annual festivities of Realm Rewind.

See you on December 2021. For now:

Best of luck with the loot,
Gamma

:sob:

@RMGnoob :frowning: miss you


#5

OMG the art for me looks so sick! Thank you so much! That fits me so well I feel xd


#6

i’d like to thank the community for making this happen. even if you only participated in one game (or haven’t participated at all in some cases), you’ve helped shape and support the game. this has been a whole passion project of mine and i’ve had a lot of fun running it, and i hope it shall continue to thrive as we transition into 2021.


as for the rest of the thread, the forumer art looks really good (and now shatter looks weird with the different pfp). 2020 has been a strange year and although no update will be enough to fully get me back into realm, most of the updates this year were pretty good.

i only joined the forums in 2018 and only really became active this year, but this year has been great on the forums. i’ve met a lot of awesome people and got to participate in a lot of fun things (realmafia, the elite dragons). although, i think i only ended up annoying people in realmafia games.

all in all, 2020 was a good year for the forums and i hope 2021 will be just as good or even better


#7

I have been on these forums for just over 5 months now, and let me tell you joining these forums has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I absolutely love talking with you guys on here and I like to hear all your opinions. I must be a pretty interesting presence hear, for example just today somebody who I had never seen on these forums and didn’t recognize recognized me from these forums and said that I was eccentric :sweat_smile:

But anyways can we all just appreciate the amount of work that went into this thread? Thanks so much @GammaGamer


#8

Wow. This has to be one of the most labor intensive threads I have read in a while on here. Hats off to @GammaGamer for putting this all together. Here’s to 2021!


#9

Elder Realms has left the chat.


#10

Ok maybe not quite elder realms just add another bazillion pages and you will be set


#11

I don’t think any other post could possibly have captured with such perfect clarity how much of a fuck I don’t give about rotmg anymore. an entire year’s worth of updates, not a single letter of which I even remotely care about.

I liked the community stuff though. shatter’s quote is my favorite


#12


#13

@Unicorn

quit btw

tosic


#14

Thank you so much for doing this! I cannot believe you spent so much time for the community, especially for the art. I love every bit of this!


#15

1/10 Xaklor’s art piece did not contain enough molten slag of remains of girl who cannot handle cute girls
/s, really well done and detailed /w\


#16

nicely made well done


side note: cant believe i wasnt featured on the farewell thread smh :triumph:


#17

It’s possible that I missed it, since that part was completed a while ago. I can add it right now, though. That’s not a biggie :smile:

Edit: Hol’up, how are you talking to me if you left O_O


#18

nah its fine, it doesnt matter to me very much. also first day back in like a month :stuck_out_tongue:


#19

Ready to get dragged back in, huh?
