Re: anyone play great lakes around 97-2001ish?
I also am one of the originals from the day it came out, till shortly after they screwed themselves over with Trammel.
Mogar, DisAse, Stringfello - All from OGD, Order of the Gold Dragon. Buds from in there were guys like K, Majir, LosLoBos, Sir Lagsalot, RJO, Sabbathius, etc.
I also had a few bad guys, Dominion, Harsh Reality, from the guild I made called EVIL, we were in the neon green and black running around. We interupted British's wedding, and he put bounties on all our heads.
Other buds we hung with, Brutus, Lars, Rockafella, etc.
Pretty much shared with SIN east of Brit swamps, the 2 keeps, and 3 towers.
As I have read many times, and true today (even after 4 years of WOW) nothing a game can bring will come close to the great memories of the first 4 years of UO. Just cant happen..
