I probably played on that server. If it was hosted in MN, that is. I distinctly remember only having 1 playable server

I was very lucky that Charter Cable picked me as one of 10 households in the area to test their cable internet back in 1998. So I have barely ever played an MMO without broadband. I even got to play UO for a bit on cable for some mad PK action.

What I hated most was that windows dial-up controller kept track of your connection time. I lived with my parents then, so they'd always check how long I'd been on. "19 hrs? WTF. Y U NO SCHOOL?"

On AOL you could set parental controls and how long you wanted your children to be online for. My EQ playing got pretty crazy at 11 years old so my mom put a time limit of like an hour and a half on my AOL account. I was fucking crushed

Me and my bros took shifts on EQ. We'd get in fights over the time. Eventually we established a system where when one person switched they'd disconnect/reconnect to reset the connection timer

My brother and I did the same shit. Until I learned how to grind up Tylenol PM and put it in his coke.
