"Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good." - Elizabeth Edwards
With the closure of War2USA server and website on the heels of the release of Blizzard's Remastered Warcraft 2 release less than a month ago, the community has experienced some fracturing and lamenting, but what I have seen is a group of people who still want to play Warcraft 2 together and have fun together.
When Thomas Edison's lab went up in flames in 1914, destroying many years' worth of work, he reportedly said, "I'm tired tonight, but I'll start rebuilding tomorrow."
At the very least, and as one of the first undertakings, I plan to do the work all over again of posting hundreds of Warcraft 2 maps so they can be browsed and admired.
Earlier tonight, I added Moriouce's, having to type out the label to each one and order them alphabetically dragging them one by one into position. I notice that they are not all there, but eventually they will all be tracked down and included. There is still lots of figuring out and tinkering that is part of setting up a new site, but the journey is begun.
What we have now is not as good as what we had, but what we had, we can no longer have, so we haven't any choice but to adjust to the inferior present and make a pathway we can walk on.
Yesterday's good memories need to be forgotten enough that they don't keep us from enjoying today. We are not going to stay sad.
Change involves loss and loss is painful. It is normal to feel sad when you lost something great, whatever the reason. War2USA was a beautiful thing in its prime. Even though that is gone, the story isn't over.
“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” - Maya Angelou
