Where did you come from?

A little birdie told me Psyra came from an egg.

I have always been here...it has been this way from the begining and it will be this wayin the end.

I was part of the team of explorers doing research in New Mexico before coming here. We were helping the D'ni Restoration Council restore the underground city of D'ni and had made a lot of progress before our funding was cut. The Uru Prologue was a noble effort while it lasted.

Since I've returned here, I've been a part of many discoveries in this world. You might be interested in some of the things I have found in the Forest of Kahruvel. I'd love to speak with you sometime soon, Sitearm.

I came, originally, from that cesspool of degenerates and lunatics called AOL chat. I was there for many years thanks to a cruddy computer.

I've tried Furcadia and The Palace. Once I got a decent computer, my first real online GAME, as such, was America's Army(I was Schmippler Jones). After that was Battlefield 1942.

I think I'd heard about SL long before I got DSL. Then, in November of last year, a very good friend of mine joined. A couple months later, she got me a Basic account as a Birthday/Christmas present. ^.^

There are a lot of TSO people in SL.

Im Cornelius Vanderbilt from Alphaville.

I came from Final fantasy online,
and then before that was, Dun dun duuuunn.......

I can't renember.

I was in TSO too Maevana from Calvin's Creek

Hmmm...

Lots of different RPGs. (AD&D in various settings, CoC, Gamma World, ShadowRun, Amazing Engine, World of Darkness in just about every setting, and lots of other little Indie games we'd try out for short campaigns.)

AOL, back from the $2.95 an hour days. Became a Guide there eventually, but got tired of all the scammers and spammers and kids.

Lots of different IRC settings, from game channels, to roleplay channels, to normal chat channels run by myself & others. IRCoped on a couple nets, but got tired of working for free.

Diablo, Civ II and other games like this, but never got into the multi-player part of it. The Sims and Sims II, but never TSO.

Tried Everquest for a month or two but got really tired of looking for rat ears and snakeskins to make things so I never got past 15th level with any character.

SL is the first thing like it I've tried.

well, I spent some time in aol chatrooms circa aol 3.0 and hanging out in Republican chat rooms to punt them when they said something stupid (which lucky for me was constantly, man I have some entertaining stories from those days. Laughter was never in short supply with the idiocy of the aol user base and the ability to make them restart thier computers on command)

oh how I miss punters =(

then I found the mmorpgs, namely, Runescape as Hooch420 back when there were like 5 servers and the game was run from the creaters basement

left and couldnt recover my password when i returned a couple years later, so I became Ennui Slave (balanced high level, name meaning slave to boredom which is what I needed to be to grind away as much as I did there) and Mulch Maker (low level player killer with a cult following)

Was kinda cool Ennui was a last name here. Would have been cooler if Maker was, but I got to combine my 2 player names

Don't tell me you were the off duty guide who i didn't believe was really a guide and who I called a bitch and punted and who changed my password on me...

and since you mention scammers, coming from aol and runescape, it blows my mind to realize that NOT ONCE has anyone tried to trick me out of my password since being here!!!!

i guess thats reason enough alone to stay here...

No, but good for him/her.

I came from a miriad of games starting with Atari and ultimately leading to present day pc. I've tried/played most titles of offline games then Half-Life 1 emerged from the darkness and I played it and enjoyed it very much. Soon after that I connected to the Internet and tried multiplayer for the first time and was hopelessly hooked. I downloaded all materials availabe and started making my own maps for the game. Years passed until 2003 when I stumbled across Star Wars Galaxies on the Walmart shelf and thought it might be fun so I bought it but then realized after getting home that it was an online only game so I attempted to get it to work but I could not log onto any of the servers. After a month of going between SOE and my ISP I realized that my ISP was limiting my ping to try and avoid any DOS attacks. Once I had them turn that off the game loaded and I was again hopelessly hooked. I stopped playing HL (due in part to the new Steam Engine) and have been playing SWG ever since. I have 8 toons on 7 servers and have mastered just about every profession there is.

Brigeq-op - Chilastra
J'ohn - Sunrunner - Jedi Padawan
SunnyJohn - Sunrunner
JohnKasi - Ahazi
JohnCH - EuroChimaera
JohnArt - Eclipse
ShadowJohn - Shadowfire
JohnInfinity - EuroInfinity

I still have 2 accounts with SWG but due to ongoing problems and recent changes I am looking for another avenue to peak my imagination and interest. SL seems to be that avenue with its ingame building and nearly unlimited potential of things to make/do.

My whole virtual world experience began what seems like eons ago on various muds. The one I spent the most time playing was Dartmud, which still is probably the most elaborate computer based RPG I have experienced. Sad thing is I probably would have not moved on if my character, the then Mage Guildmaster, was not killed while farming of all things (death could be perminent there).

I did quite a bit of coding on various LP-MUDs, ran a few, wrote a custom mudlib from scratch. Ah, if only LSL was as complete as LPC.

SL is the first graphical multi-player environment I used, unless you consider old BSX LPMUDs graphical (which technically they were, but the text was prettier than their graphics - trust me).

Roberta in Test Center (TSO). Yes people really did have their main sims in Test Center and there are other Test Centerians here!

I was also Secret in a MUD called Cryosphere.

I was on There for about a year before I came to Second Life. I had tried it some time before and cancelled... thinking it was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen. Well, here I am, hahaha.

I also played EverQuest. But that was already coming to a close.

I've tried to leave SL, can't. I'm here for good.

And I haven't played There in a long, long time.
