Though I think nowadays I would never have the patience to play an MMO, there was definitely something special about this game back in the day. Its scope, sense of freedom, and community interaction were kind of the main draw, but the authored quests had a fun sense of humor and gave a lot of life to the game as well. There is a lot more nostalgic pull than I expected with some of these things.

This was the game that introduced me to online gaming so it will always hold a special place in my memories. I had a blast playing this game until the Evolution of Combat update changed everything. I quit playing almost immediately after those changes went live.
