i was in beta.

after determining it was awesome, i wrote a letter to GMs crying telling them that my parents were divorced and that the only way me and my brothers (who were with the other parent) could be a family again was to play games online together.

they sent 2 additional beta keys the next day. i forgot about that story till my brother reminded me of it haha (yes, i made it up.)

I think it was in '99 when I started. My bro played since beta and introduced me to the game. I had my own account before the Kunark release, but I don't really remember if it was in '99 or not.

After LDoN released I'd had enough. The game had sucked so much time out of my life. I'm going to play it much more casually this time around. Just started P99 a few days ago.

I played from day 1 in 1999 until around 2006. I've played on and off since then.

I couldn't get into Beta but waited months for EQ to release. I remember the first month being so terrible with connection issues. I spent a lot of time trying to connect to the game and watching my packet loss meter drop from Green to yellow to Red then black screen with white letters "You have been disconnected from the server".
I was on the Karana server and waiting for the loading screen took almost 1 and 1/2 times through the EQ theme. Probably why I still have that theme drilled into my brain, but I love it.

Pure awesomeness!

I also played UO for many years along with EQ. I from time to time play UO on the private server also.
