I am a mixture of that type with someone that does level up etc. I find more satisfaction out of meeting the players behind the toons. It's far more rewarding for me than leveling the toon or killing dragons.

I think this was the real spirit of this game in 1999, something that few, if any, modern MMOs have ever really actualized. It's what brought people of all ages together and brought a lot of women into the gaming scene, possibly because of this social aspect. People got married through the game and made friendships and it was a real phenomenon.
Games sure have changed since then and I'm not sure if we will ever be able to fully recreate the experience of those days with how gaming has changed, but it sure is wonderful to find that, although small compared to back then, the spirit is still alive here.
