I saw blog description that got me thinking.

How long have I been playing MMORPGs?

Well it all started for me in1991 with AOLs Neverwinter Nights. I was 13 then and thought that the game was really cool. No body else at my school was playing it so it made the game special to me. Everyone else was playing Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. I still like the old console games but I think this was the time I realized MMORPGs would always have a special place in my heart.

I played AOL-NWN until 1996 when I joined the military then I didn’t play any games for about a year. I was in Italy in 1997 and heard from a friend in the US that this game Everquest was all the rage. Well not being able to have my own internet in the dorms overseas, I had to wait until 1999 when I came back to the US to play MMORPGs. So during the time I played any and all table-top games I could find a group for. In 1999 I got my first computer and bought EQ and I think it was the first expansion, I loved the game alot.

In 2000 I moved to South Korea and still played EQ. Some of the people I worked with were going to play a game called Asheron’s Call. So I decided to take a break from EQ and play AC instead. That was a fun year of drinking, game playing and deployments.

I went back to Italy after Korea and still played AC. I got back into EQ when a friend told me abotu the game and how things had changed over the past year. So I would play AC and EQ on alternating days. When out of the blue Shadowbane was the flavor of the month. I had never participated in any PvP before and foudn the game very interesting. So I stopped playing AC and EQ and started playing Shadowbane. I kept playing SB even after I came back to the US in 2003.

I started playing City of Heroes in 2004 when my sister told me about it. So I was playing SB and CoH on alternating days. It was fun and enjoyable to have a distration like that. Some where in there I tried to play SWG but that game was to blah for me. I moved from CoH to CoV when it came out.

A guy I worked with, Tenryuu, was playing World of Warcraft since I came out and he told me how much fun it was. So I stopped playing anyother game I had and started playing WoW in 2006. It was then that I found my love of blogging.

So in the end I can say I have been playing MMORPGs for almost around 15 years, that equates to over half of my life. And what a good time it has been!.!
