en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwinter_Nights_(AOL_game)I still have fond memories of my first MMO. Sadly it is no longer operational. I was a member of KORT (Knights Of the Round Table), one of the sanctioned guilds of Neverwinter. Our guild was good-aligned. I had two main characters. Both were human dual class. Tshober was the character I played most. He was a Paladin/Magic User and he used a two handed sword to melee. Tshober was an awesome soloer. He could solo every (fixed) fight in the game, even the 6 dracolich fight and the iron golums in the sewers. My other character was named Wizer. She was a Cleric/Magic User and a pure caster. I still have a notebook with maps of every zone in the game. When I started playing Neverwinter, we dialed in at 1200 BAUD and were charged by the hour for our connection to AOL. I was very sad when Neverwinter closed down but soon after I became involved in the beta of Dark Sun Online and, even later, in the beta of Ultima Online. I still miss Neverwinter sometimes, even today, though.

My first MMO was Silkroad (or more accuratelly, BotRoad) Online. I started up with a magic biased guy and made it to lv 20, then quit because of recent crashes. I returned to game when "europe" expansion came in, and made (hard to guess?) a wizzy. With a lot of grind, and addition of secondary class of cleric, I made it to level 65. Then, after 1,5 month break cause of school, I returned just to find out that my character was banned together with 12k bots. Pretty fun that they banned one of few legit players in the game, while my well known "boters" stayed up. After that I quit. The game was nice but had a lot of flaws. The first one - GRIND. After level 20 (of 100) you had to grind all day long, doing another "kill 1500 monsters" quest over and over again. And if you died, 2% of level xp was lost - usually a hours of game. If you wanted to have more skills, guess what - more grind. After some time I just let my pc run game through night, when people bought my overpriced goods, so I could buy super cool +10 items to wear, and gathered gold for paying people to level me up. I still have that "buy cheap, sell high" in me. And the second flaw? Bots, lots of them. The servers were literally full all the time, and logging in took hours. Pretty nice, because you didn't have to play for half of the time. I'm not going back to any game with xp loss ever.
