so exactly what MMO's did you guys play? nostalgia is definitely there for me dating back to my everquest days, the only real game that i've had real nostalgia about. too bad it's not nearly the same game anymore.

I played EQ from 00-04, DAoC from 02-03, and finally WoW from 04-06. This is probably the reason I ended up in community college.

Oh, and JFK, you should check this link out: http://www.eqclassic.org/

i guess eqclassic is a lot more popular than i thought. i've actually been following the site since it started after it separated from projecteq. hopefully it can open up soon.

funny thing is i also played eq from 00-04 which were the best days of the game. what server did you play on?

I played DAoC, RO, FFXI, WoW. I don't remember the exact dates, I kind of lost my sense of time when I was playing, often ~20h/day and then I didn't go to school anymore ; )

However, my best times were not with MMORPGs but with Diablo1/2 and CS. I played them for so many years every day. I don't think they were as popular here in the US as they were in Europe (I'm international).

I used to be one of the best Counter-Strike players in the country. =P

You guys play so many games...

I'm always afraid my bf spends too much time playing games, but i guess he's below avg. Well, he admitted WoW ruined his life for 2 years. Dropped out of CC and quit job just to play WoW. But that was 4-5 years ago

He stopped before he met me yay

YES when you stop playing game, you get a life, and you get a gf! lol

now he's playing Assassin's Creed. Probably about 2-4 hours every other day

I think that's not too much. yeah?

oh anyone tell me what MMORPG stand for???

jfk

MMORPG = massively multiplayer online roleplaying game

and diablo and counter-strike were and still are very popular in the states. i remember a time when cs took over my life as well. when you play in a league, teams demand like 3-4 hours a day for practice out of you...on school days.

HAHA! That would reallllly impress someone I'd imagine.

Maybe quite popular, but I still don't think it was as popular here as it was in Europe. From so many people I've met here who play video games, only a minority of them ever played CS. If you go to my home country, almost everybody who ever played some kind of pc game, played CS. During the time it was really popular, you could basically walk up to a random person in school and start talking about it )

Yeah, it took me much more time than 4h/day. We played in leagues too and got money for playing and had some nice sponsors. es four, 1on1? ;p

I wonder how many people end up at a CC because of games... : )

I haven't played in like 5 years, I don't think I'd be much of a challenge.

We used to play tournaments and such too, as well as CAL.

I used to work at a LAN center, I'd play CS until 5 or 6am... That game is so addicting... I'm so happy I have overcome my addiction.

Haha, I was just kidding I haven't played for 3-4 years either, I don't even have a PC I could play with. I only own a laptop which probably wouldn't even give me 100fps. I'm happy I'm over it too.

However, if I was rich and didn't have to work for my whole life, I'd probably go back to playing things like CS or WoW seriously.

Gents, I was addicted to MUDs and Team Fortress on Quake I, back when Quake I was just called Quake.
