This was my summer of 2000 - came back to school with greatly improved typing skill. Has been a great benefit ever since and is one of the main reasons I prefer to type rather than use voice both in-game and at work. Another reason is the chance to filter my output since I tend to word things poorly and be misinterpreted.

I learned how to type because of this game. I remember when I first started using a computer I would peck at keys with two fingers, and was blown away at my mom being able to type 30-40 words per minute without looking at the keyboard. Without even trying, I almost overnight learned to type like a speed demon due to having to curse people out in LOIO and pull for my group at the same time. People in school thought I was some kind of super genius since typing was still a mandatory class at that time. Teacher ended up kicking me out of the class because she was spending too much time having to keep me busy, and they put me in horticulture instead, which sucked because I enjoyed spending my free time in typing class looking at EverQuest related stuff, especially level 50 Wizards on Ebay that I only dreamed of owning (now they would just be relatively normal wizards, maybe even bad? And Wizard isn't really a coveted class either).
