[2021] I've been video gaming for 40 years. This morning playing Bless - I had the single best gaming experience of my lifetime (Truth)

First some context - I am an avid video game player. Mostly likely will be until the day I die. I get especially into PvP games which I started playing back when Pong was a thing. From day one - playing against my friends was always more exciting to me than playing against a computer chip.

This morning at 3 am I woke up with insomnia which happens sometimes. I couldn't sleep so I loaded up Bless Unleashed and just started doing stuff from the Bless Pass. The first Prana notice popped and I went to my favorite camping spot for Prana. It is in the desert area in Ivory Dunes I believe. I stood on a little ledge overlooking the spawn spot. Something told me to switch to Channel 1 - so I did. I waited. The sun came up both in the real world and in the game. I looked out over the horizon at the morning sky in the game and saw the giant spear of salvation weapon against a clear blue sky. I thought to myself - "Of course Prana would spawn in this place". I waited until I wondered if I read the message wrong. I hadn't. That tree appeared directly below me and I chopped it down solo. No one came. I walked half way to the Oath Keeper and Warlord from KBF (one of our guild's allies ran just behind me). Then 2 seconds later another player I didn't know ran behind me. 10 steps later I was attacked by the player I didn't recognize. Warlord destroyed him for me utterly. I picked it back up and walked it to the Oath Keeper and got my chest.

I spent the next 15 minutes fighting alongside members of KBF, Sinister, and Blood Templar (I'm in D34th D34l3rs) - which are all allies of my guild (of which I am a new officer). We fought Utopia and some other people from Genesis and some clan called Owls of **** and the battle was glorious!

After the fighting was over - I opened my box and I got my fragment. This is my birthday weekend. Thank you God! What an awesome present! It wasn't getting the fragment. It was the whole battle in the desert sands experience alongside allies and sworn enemies. It was incredible! Thank you for reading. This game is friggin awesome!
