I feel like I wrote this. I came from The Realm, don't even know HOW I discovered that game. I remember being so excited to become a Helper and getting my green Helpers bardache. I used to run around killing (jumping) Gus Clan members because I was a firebrand little 10 year old who didn't like newbies getting attacked. I also had hacked stats, but I digress. I had a phase where I'd sneak into peoples houses using belts/boots of invisibility. I was such a little shit.

Then I got the UO Alpha and Beta. Man, the game was a serious Alpha. Eventually discovered Catskills and Siege Perilous when it was color wars. It was amazing. I'd hop on and RP on Catskills, mostly Paladins of Trinsic or the Undead, then I'd hop over to SP to get my action fix. Then they turned Siege Perilous into a regular test server. Absolutely broke my heart.

You would laugh your ass off if you knew how simple it was for me to hack my stats in The Realm. They eventually fixed it, but man, I was a little 10 year old whose computer experience at that point was running a couple Quake servers and making Doom wads.

All of these instanced MMOs break my heart. GW2 is fun.. but its so simple, or I've just never played it enough. The instancing kills it for me.
