I allways asked myself what mana ("manafarbe" is german for "color of mana") looks like. It´s often shown in a blue color (in UIs of games), but can any kind of Energy really have a color? Just look at Air, heat.. they don´t have a color. But on the other hand i allwayss connect mana with nature. Not only trees and stuff, but also Rocks, Fire, Water.. everything!
For me mana is something beautiful, but also something I can´t explain why I love it so much (yes I know it doesnt exist in the real world).
Some day I came up with the name. I used it as a user name in a forum.
When BaFo released I used it there. Manafarbe was my account/slot where I had all my cards, all my stuff, it was my life. I went with other names which are "panekomo" and "Dominating Pancake". Both with their own stories. But at the end I went back to "manafarbe" on many platforms.
This is the name I connect with BattleForge and all the good memories about the time I had with the game, but also the bad times I had in RL during that 3 years and of course the logout message when the servers got shut down.
I will allways keep this name in a special place in my heart and will go on with it as long as I can!
PS: I hope my english isnt too bad..
