Thanks ever so much guys. Was more an uphill struggle than it should have been by basically having game time severly hampered by months of sick PC trouble. So thanks all for the good words and support with both leveling and other matters that came up such as the tech issues.
Also it ties in nicely by the fact that around a year ago Lodestar was born os this is not just a thanks to a level 50 its a thanks to all those who been with me over the past year. Id have looked at you odd had you said Id be playing the same game one year on and its not due to just the blinding game its you guys.
Been some amazing teams and as well as old friends I made some amazing new ones so thanks to you all. And not just the teams but the chats and even to those who long since stopped playing who still infkuance me by having made such an impact on me.
Some of the undisputed legends of defiant and people I personally look up to like my old Contingency buddies both still around such as Target, Scan, Boltie, and Inf.
My good frineds in Forgotten Warriors without their support I would have left months ago. Drakpath, Sheilder, Alan P, Ecilef, AForce, Cool C, Xensor, Wytch, Calamity and Dark Green Blade. Most of whom were there for the final bars of leveling.
Iron Monkeys notably Psygon and Gonk, who been great fun and helped me alot on my way there some fun team were had.
And new friends I am so pleased to have met, Pheonix Dragon, Troke and Matakoshi are amazing players and supass this only by their being even better people in general, Pillar who is without a doubt one of the quirkiest and fun people I met playing and who like me beleives the only good hatchet is a burried one, loves ya lots. Blue note what a guy he is. Lal also gets a mention for helping grind hard but see those levels zoom by at one stage there.
Big up to Trouble Shooter, Snoflake, Enormatron, Conflagrent, Divlish, Sassy Wing, Flower, Rock, Frostburn and Rock and many other in the crew especially during the last few levels.
And of course Lodestars new home Paragon Defenders with the likes of Xanthus, Red Dragon, G-Zeus, Extremeus, Sibos, Empath, Shift and Powernova.
And to those who either teamed with me, helped or were just friends and made the game and defiant so much fun in the last year many of these helped get Jack Kerrigan and even Lodestar to 50 or assisted me in some way or just plain spammed a channel I was happeneing to have active such as the Evo Radio global. Some real heavyweights of defiant and all round top people and in no way is this in any order of preferance.(much like those already mentioned):-

Jacks, Hammerfall, Bog Monster and Mortal Decay and other Goonies not had chance to team as much as Id like and some not at all tbh but always enjoyed the chats, posts and all round friendliness. Mr Nice one of those few people who self procalims to be nice and actually is immagine that *votes nice*, Callista, Mighty Saguaro, Rot Hood, and Fire Flux and other members of The Echelon (no Im not pulling your leg a geniune thanks and credit where it is due).My sicncerest appologies for not being able to recall you all and if Ive failed to do so post and slap me for it but in my defence I have tried to recall as many as I can and spent more than the last hour pacing my room back and forth to my keybpard trying to remeber and it is early hours of the morining.
But I can hardly go without mentioning the DJs that kept us all going thorugh Evoloution radios changing line up and even from back in the day of Last Stand Radio and Project Mayhem Radio. Including of course some already mentioned (hey hats two shout outs you get guys) and of course Drachonis, Chappers, IceWarm, Honsou, Angel', Raziel,and again appologies if I missed you out.
Special thanks to Dale, Carl and the IT depeartment at a certain office in Grimsby who have worked puting my PC right over the last minth and righting the incredible mess that was my PC build. Extremely professional (and well qualified) and genuine guys who have worked on my PC for absoloutely nothing barring the cases of beer I sent.
