Today its free, can be played on a 15 year old pawn shop laptop.. or if you are skilled, on a tablet-like device. There are no monthly fees, everything is figured out. The real thrill of cutting edge 3D worlds and the advancement of online play is diminished as every kid that is 20 years old today has never known a world without high-speed internet.

I remember when I first played on a tlp I was like “man, traveling isn’t as bad as I remembered”. Then I had remembered that zoning took 5-20 minutes.

Yup.. my 78 year old father still talks about that time my character got stuck on a boat for least a week because the computer wouldn't load fast enough, random disconnects, crashing during zone ins etc.

Yeah, I lost a full set of patchwork that really meant a lot to me as a 14 year old newb in OOT swimming and running out of stamina. Decided to just wait for Druids and wizards port since that.

I ended up in the ocean a few times myself.. I think one time I just randomly fell through the boat, and the other few times I got the bright idea to just start swimming...

Each time I remember being absolutely terrified that a giant shark or sea creature was going to eat me.. which actually did happen in Kunark. Hellacious fucking CR. After hours of swimming, found my corpse only to get eaten again.

Oh yeah, I went back for my corpse like two or three times. Was bad time, that’s why I still remember it. Decided to just get some gold out of the bank and buy a new rusty weapon and start over. I was lvl 10 or so so I got another set of gear pretty quick.

Anyone who doesn't use "F" as their auto-attack key I would like to challenge to a fight IRL

I don't have auto-attack bound, a carry over from one too many new-guy mistakes back in the day. I manual click everything.

I manual twisted as a bard as well. No hotkeys. I was a darn good bard on the technical side but lacked in creativity, specifically in regards to upper end raiding.

I was a menace on North Karana Hill Giants at level 27.
