Profile
"Honestly, I donated just so I could set people on fire." - dorn284
Dorn284 is an Aether donor who enjoys above all else building dungeons destined to slay many players hoping to plunder them. So far only one such dungeon is complete, due to IC restrictions preventing him from utilizing his true genius. When not building dungeons, he enjoys assisting his friend 
zfleming1 in patrolling for griefers and the damage they may have caused. On 29 June 2011, a dorn284 and 
Lothendal were raised to moderator status. Much weeping followed dorn284's first bannings.
What's in a Name
"dorn is secretly a gold shovel" - 
chivalrousWeasel
Dorn284's name came about rather simply. Dorn was the original name of his first Dungeons and Dragons character, a Lawful Evil dwarven monk, and he has been partial to the name ever since. The 284 is harder to pin down. Some say it's the number of people his character killed in D&D sessions. Others claim it to be his lucky number. The truth, however, is that it is the locker number of a girl he was fond of in high school. Though nothing came of it, he remembers her warmly. Mockery of the subject is ill-advised.
Home
Dorn284 has several homes scattered around Freedonia. No one can say for sure where they all are. One place he can be found for certain, however — his home away from home — is his office in the *S*T*A*R*S* building. There he has been observed sitting behind his desk preparing paperwork for the next griefer he manages to find.
Projects
Dorn284's past projects include the *S*T*A*R*S* building, the Monster Dungeon(tm), multiple houses, and the Community Board currently at spawn. His future projects include a Trap Dungeon(tm), currently on hold until he can get admin assistance with the last room, and a Skill Dungeon(tm) that he is still plotting, as well as numerous classified projects. He has shown several of the classified ones to new players. Their bodies were never found.

- dorn284 I joined March 10, 2011. I had gotten tired of SP, and decided to give SMP a try...
- dorn284 Let's just say that the first eight or nine servers were... less than friendly.
- dorn284 Then I showed up here. And within five minutes had literally every staff member show up to check

- dorn284 I loved the server, the people, and got along well.
- dorn284 And then some people pulled a grief raid...
- dorn284 I think that's when some of you may have noticed me. I donated for jumpto and started cleanup.
