On or around the date of September 21, 2007 (That's coincidentially the anniversary of Ragnarok Wisdom's launch [link] ) I got 7777 page views. I offered to do a hit gift for whomever scored the 7777th hit, but no one owned up to it.

I still wanted to do something for that, however--I had a good idea of something to do once I saw that no one claimed the hit, so I put it on my list of things to do before the year's end.

Due to some computer problems, I finished what I could of the picture and uploaded it on New Year's Eve on 2007. It was done, but not fully done--so after my computer problems were sorted out (which took well into February before things settled down) and I got a handle on the new college semester, I turned my attention to finishing this.

This hitgift is a whimsical group picture of all the main MMO characters (mainly MMORPG) I've played with up until this point. Well ... most of them are main characters, but they all represent a specific MMO I've played as of the date this was finished. Here's the list:

Aragan: Norman (Perma) Acolyte, Ragnarok Online
Vere "Veregar" Garrett: Atrox Martial Artist, Anarchy Online
Garlicini Ragu: Sauceror, Kingdom of Loathing (yes, it's a webgame, but in my book it qualifies as an MMO)
Gavrian: Travian Gun Fighter, GunZ: The Duel (... ditto!)
F Gattaca: RAcast, Phantasy Star Online (although he's shown here in his PSU form which I've come to prefer)
Raul DiUragano: Beast Fortefighter, Phantasy Star Universe
Relgiac: Human Warrior, World of Warcraft
Chester Keinverne: Terran Captain, Armada Online
Osahar Kneph: Egyptian Citizen, A Tale in the Desert

With each of the characters, I tried to follow the art style of their respective MMORPGs. Hence, Aragan is drawn in Myung-Jin Lee's style, Garlicini Ragu is drawn like Jick's stick figures, and so forth.

The entire thing was rendered in Flash (like the 5555 hitgift) and not only pushed the limits of my computer's former setup, but put a toll on my computer's rebuilt and upgraded setup as well. Heck, the thing looked like a bloody topographical map in outline mode!

Hope you guys enjoy it!
