I accidently came across a folder named Soldat on an old laptop and it took me down memory lane.
I guess most players these days will not care much about my story and I have no clue if any of the 2002-2008 players are still visiting these forums but here goes.
I started playing Soldat when I was 15 and today I am 28 so it has been almost half a lifetime since the beginning.
I played from 2002 to 2008 and was only ever in one clan, my own clan, [SaD].
For five and a half years [SaD] was the oldest active clan in the community. We were never the number one clan but we were well respected and held our own in clan wars.
I do not know how the game is these days but back then it only seemed to get a bit worse with every update. Personally I will always prefer version 1.05b and the original CTF maps.
My story and the clans story are one and the same.
History:Storm and Destroy was originally created by FragBait and a bunch of his friends at a LAN party in the middle of May 2002. [SaD] appeared on the Internet June 2002. FragBait had played a few days when he joined forces with a player called The Psych, and they officially created [SaD] together. The Psych quit soldat after a few days, but FragBait had already then recruited a few loyal players. The first official match was a 5v5 TDM vs. Soldat Veterans which was lost. After very few TDM matches [SaD] began to play CTF only. On August 6 in 2005, [SaD] creates a North American section with Elemental as leader. On November 15 2005, the very successfull NA section splits up and dies. February 18 2008, the remaining original members of [SaD] decide to call it quits.
