Perhaps the most poignant part is between the lines: i am happy to declare the facts as equally true with no regrets. I am not saying I wasted that money even though I get more personal gaming joy out of a bargain bin game. There are different sorts of joy...

Physical? Hell yes. Will you be doing signed copies for shipping? Am in Australia, probably not visiting the US anytime soon. Apologies if you've already stated this elsewhere.

Yep, NS was my jam too. Perf artery to give middies and albies a heart attack. EQ? Lol shadow knight of course. Edgy from the get-go.

I enjoyed rogue on wow but after EQ I knew I was over MMOs so I just played it like a sort of elder scrolls game during the beta.

Then came Guild Wars...

PS when people ask me what I remember most about Exiles, I say loate and his pen. Then I tell em to look you up. You're a true legend, dude.

I got into the WoW beta by writing an english essay for some kid on Battle.net, played it a fair bit, had a ball, then never once touched the actual game.

But I Rped the *crap* out of EQ and DAoC.

Didnt get into forum...usage until PoE. Ruling Wraeclast was fun but good lord I was such a knob.
