User blog:High King Ithilion/One Year on the Wiki

Today, February 26, is the day I joined the Wiki, exactly one year ago. In that time, this mod has gone from having just added the map of Middle-Earth to right before the Dalish Update. I would like to take a moment and commemorate Mevans for his incredible work on this mod, and thank him for giving us a chance to create the world of Tolkien in a game. I would also like to thank you all (besides Bunny350 and Melkor2, of course) for creating such a welcoming, friendly, fun community, from my first retexturing suggestion to the scandalous past week. I think this wiki has been a big help to me in escaping the oppressive horrors of middle school and the horrible things residing in it. You have all become close friends, in my mind.

As some of you may know, I have been making a drawing commemorating this event. Here it is. If you are not included, my apologies. I kind of ran out of space :P

Also, apologies to Cal and Heart. I have learned a lesson to never use whiteout again.
