I came here after meeting genocide god (dubz 1st account before he made dubz) and I joined him one day and he was in all trade 2/3 and I just favorited the server and kept joining flipping between there and skial; furthermore, meeting many cool guys/gals who I still talk to almost everyday and have witnessed amazing community. with amazing people
I found Harpoon Gaming back from when I did TF2 trading pretty regularly. At first I didn't think much of it and was about to leave but then started talking to an old admin (at the time a moderator) by the name of Toast Mama. She became my first friend on the server and was the entire reason why I even kept coming back and got to know everyone else in the community!
I found harpoon back when I was a F2P and I wanted to go to a trade server because I was doing the scrapbanking thing at the time. and I met this guy name Eoj Nawoh who sounded so encouraging, like if you went to a festival and there would be a guy saying "Step right up! hit down 3 balls win a prize! come on! you can hit them!" and I thought to myself. this place is fucking awesome. so I kept going and going and met some of the other staff aswell, and they were all nice people so my goal was one day I wanted to be staff here. And I have seen HG grow from this little magical seed to a fucking giant beanstock. instead of jack and the beanstock it became Joe and the beanstock.
I Found HG In My Trading Expierience Around 2014 I Was VERY Imactive, My Tf2 Activy Has Come About In Mid-2015. Anyway Back On Topic. I Was Scrolling Through Trade Severs And Saw 26 People In HG. Decided To Join. Met Some Of The Communtiy And Had A Chat. Then I Met Sargent¥ My Best Online Bud :3 (Bob For Short) He Introduced My TkHG Becuase He Didn't Recognise Me And So I Learned The Basics. A Couple Weeks After Coming Back I Got Lifetime Donator With My Unusual Conquisador And 4 Keys Pure. Ever Sunce I've Been Coming Back To HG At Every Chance. :3
I know a couple of people on staff, aswell as I been on here long ago during one JAG 2012-2013(?) event of some sorts, totally forgot lol
I first found the server when typing in trade_plaza for the map and ut just came up with it. I joined and really enjoyed it. Now HG is all i really go on since i dont really enjoy normal servers.
So it started in December (2015) and I was a f2p. So I Stumble upon all trade 3 mid cosmetic contest, then I fell in love xD (with harpoon)
