I used to about 12 years ago in Gleann Abhann, back when it was just a principality. My boss at the time was very into heavy combat and eventually became the first King of GA, so I was intrigued by the idea of getting to hit my boss with a big stick. The trouble was that he hit back. Hard.
I tried to play some once I moved to Ansteorra, but never got much into the heavy sword and board fighting style that seemed to be so common here. I much prefer two-handed styles such as glaive, nagamaki, or naginata (yes, I had one of those rare Japanese personas). Plus, the timings of the local group didn't work out with my schedule. I still have some of my gear, so hopefully some day I can get reauthorized and fighting again.
