Anarchy Online, I managed to drag my sorry Fixer ass to 112, then blow a fuse over leading an org and all the stuff to deal with, and basically am on a severe hiatus now...

This is my first so nothing to compare it. I can't imagine ever wanting to leave SL, that's if we ever get in world again lol.

I was...

12-30-2004 13:50

I used to be POBOX on Microsoft Chat, which was a graphical IRC that turned everything into comics.

Then my 3D self first saw dawn in There.com as "Marker". I must say it's a fascinating platform. But, it's got it's audience. I was always urging for something else.

Then I found SL and merged into Marker Dinova.

Before SL I was playing Toontown, religiously. Before that it was THERE and before that it was TSO.

The only acct I no longer have is my TSO acct.

I was Dj Lustre in Calvins Creek if anyone remembers me

Life Before SL

12-30-2004 14:05

Everquest- Servers FV, Mith Marr, Luclin have created and played most professions
Star Wars Galaxies-Servers Ahazi, Intrepid, Tempest, again played most professions
AnarchyOnLine-dabbled mostly

Since SL, I havent been able to return to the others. I have experienced freedom, friendships, creativity on levels never obtained in other MMORG's

Was there life before Second Life?

12-30-2004 14:06

Not for me...

But if I think really hard, ahhhhh yes, I beta tested and played TSO, in Blazing Falls, Test, IH, East Jerome and some others.

Found Second Life and never looked back!

The Boggle variant Tangleword at playsite.com claimed a huge amount of my time prior to SL. I played as SueCB. It differs from many comparable games in that you don't have to wait to play.

ohh wow...you can tell I'm going insane while SL is down...this is my first post ever! LOL
Lets see...It all started on the "undernet" in a little place called the "Hot Tub Room" then progressed to The Realm and of course TSO, which I still have. MissGnomer in EJ and JosieCat in DC. But of course, there is no place like home! (SL)

My first line experience was AOL chat I was a big time addict for a while then got bored and tired of paying broadband costs and $15 for AOL on top of that. Then was Diablo, til I got tired of being hit on and then killed by 12 year olds. Then was TSO. I was Maevana in CC then There I was DJKitty and now here I am in SL I can't play any other game because SL is too addictive and takes up all my time I went to There for 5 mins a couple weeks ago got bored and went to play SL
