I don’t think I’ll beat that amount of dedication in a game ever again. I was a young teenager when I started playing this game which had eaten all my social life… Guess it is part of me.
Last week I felt some nostalgia and reinstalled the game after ~18 years without touching it. It’s crazy that my character is still there on some server (even if no subscription was paid for all those years), more or less in the state I left it the last time I logged-out years ago. The guild has been erased, but the friend list is still there as a reminder of those past friendships, none of them logged-in of course…
Fun fact, my parents refused to pay for the game at that time, so I started playing on the account of a friend, from which I later bought the game second-hand. The login still contains his name, and I think that’s the oldest login/password I have a trace for.
(Game is Dark Age of Camelot)
Seriously though, I never got near those numbers. I did put about 2500 hours into TFC and TF2 before it became a bot hellscape.
I looked up my old character just the other day—my account must had been compromised because all of my gear was gone.
I could totally see myself going back to play again and pick up where I left off (after 18 years), but I don’t think that’s possible anymore.
Is it bad I recognized it as daoc from the NPC font?
The Guardian in the back has that look on her face like she just lost a bet that you wouldn’t return until 20 years passed.
She doesn’t even know that I’m a guardian for her
I thought that was eq1 at first glance
Ditto, I was about to start waxing poetic about my bard.
Long live the Blackspire Guard
