You know what else was going on in 1999? The internet bubble! VCs were throwing giant bucketloads of money at every shady pre-ebitda scam and I was lucky enough to get in. For the first time in my life I had more money then I knew what to do with. So obviously I invested in the fastest connection I could and had multiple subscriptions to everything. Those were the three best years of my life before it all came crashing down and I had to live under a bridge like a troll.

Some things are starting to become more clear.

Calling AOL every week for months on end to cancel your account while they keep charging you monthly fees for service you haven't used in half a year. Classic.

I grew up in Silicon Valley, think I had cable modem well before Kunark. Was so baller. I had a job and a credit card for most of Kunark, so I just had to make sure I didn’t piss parents off too much.

I also knew a bug for free gameplay, which I’m almost ashamed to say I exploited a lot. Bug actually existed from release through to Luclin at least...

It was so simple, from launch til SoL (I think), account stuff was handled within the client. Account creation, payment and password changes were all in there. All you had to do was change your password (on your unpaid account) and there would be some window in which you could log in without paying. Once logged in to (or past) server select there were no checks for subscription, so it would never boot you off.

So classic =D
