I was browsing the 2238 forum archives the other night, and you can see the "old history" from everything including the MDK alliance, etc.
Bottom line, Khans were around in 2011 or so, and disappeared. They've suddenly reappeared the last few months spouting off "15 years blaaaaahh" or something, it's kind of funny.
Haven't seen them for years in between, though.
I can't speak to character of the guys I don't know, but the guys I do know and I've played with in multiple previous sessions are GTG. They don't seem like a bad group of guys overall, but for a PK/raider type gang forum hate and in game hate is only amusing.
I get that, I'm old Section 8. No beef here.
FOnline never changes, though.
