Happy 7th Birthday, EtG community!

I love etg because of gravity

[TiankPL]

I love EtG because of it's magic. It's one of these games, that is designed with heart and passion and you can feel it by playing it, even after many years and without updates it's playable and enjoyable. You can also feel it by looking at it's community. It's amazing how kind and helpful you all are (yes, you too, who are reading it!). I'm not an active member of this community, but I keep playing EtG from time to time (also, I really want those Nymphs so I keep poking Oracle every day ) and I keep watching what's going on on the forums (so much creativity and space for it, like tournaments, card challenges, trials, war). Also, I witnessed how community (and even inactive for a loong time Zanz) reacted when servers broke down and many of us lost A LOT cards, points and electrum (and maybe most important - time that is put into collecting all this). Joint effort to make it all work somehow, by those with higher levels helping those with lower - it was really amazing and it's one of those special things that I will keep in heart for a long time. That kindness, helpfulness. It's really rare not only around on line world, but in real world too. So keep being awesome

Happy birthday elements!

Is there still a slice left for me? I'm fine with it even if it's a little dry. As long as it doesn't start talking to me, I can eat it =)

I like...wait no love because I saw the word cake; but also because EtG is probably one of the best card games out there, unlike all the other ones who want your money.

I'm here, I promise! ...even if the party started and probably ended a while ago. (Also I didn't know this topic existed before today.) Happy belated birthday!
I digress; there was a question posed to all, especially the recently arrived, and I'd be remiss to not answer it. And maybe plate cake from the fridge since before today I didn't know it was located here either.

I'm drawn to EtG because it's a door and a hope for something besides the mundane. Despite not being the most consistent player, I never really leave - a certain memory of the elements remains with me since long ago when I began writing and integrated these twelve (plus a few others) into a grand tale. It wasn't actually constructed well and was never actually finished...but since then there has rarely been a story I've penned which has involved magic without some reference to the elemental set I first encountered in EtG in time far since past. It has deep roots in a desire for adventure and perhaps for magic in reality.

Further, though I tend to be highly wary of CCGs/TCGs for blatant attempts to sell a product, I have had the pleasure of respecting EtG, and by extension Zanz (despite having never met him) for having never done so. On another practical note, for an interest in game design several elements (pun intended, of course) have come from this game in respect to division and balance.

Then there's the community. Even though by many standards I'm still fairly new, I know I have friends here and that's reason enough to be grateful.

Here's to an excellent year to follow. Cheers!

Im a newcomer to the forums, but i have been playing the game since 2012. Despite a really long hiatus (2 years or even more) without farming and only playing 1 or 2 games a week during that time, i have always loved this game due to how much you have to learn, the different card combos, the huge amount of decks you can build and, after this amout of years, i find out that there are tournaments and a lot of people playing this game.

Happy birthday, elements! 

PS: i wasnt in the forums at that moment, but im sure that the sentence "The shards have been moved to their respective elements" shook all the community.

[Malignant]

Aww I forgot about its birthday

Happy birthday anyway~

Too late for cake?

Maybe not if you go to the 8th birthday thread.

[CactusKing]

But I want the year-old cake that hasn't been eaten yet!
