@70roadrunner, Ultima Online was one of the first successful and popular MMORPGs of it's time. It's debut was 1997. It was the next generation of the 'Ultima' series. Also whoever played UO back in the day will know what it feels like to be disappointed time and time again with today's MMORPGs.
Nothing seems to be close to replacing it.
Seven ... IS this a Video game ? Dude you have me sooooo lost and feeling soooo old right now. What's MMORPG's it sounds like some sort of supercharged street racer .. I'm gong have to look this up .. As soon as I finish watching Miami Vice and playing PacMan03-22-10 10:31 AM - Phillykid was my original online nick on old BBS systems from the 80ies (anyone remember those), and on early online services like TSN/INN, AOL, Dephi, etc. I was a charter member on AOL with the Phillykid name, and I was a Guide there, but when I left their employ I lost my account and the name, plus by this point I was no longer (LONG) a kid.
I got Verizon, then Bell Atlantic DSL, at 640k speed, and took the name pk640k, for my online accounts, on AOL, etc. pk for phillykid, and 640k for my connection. Then I got comcast cable connection and changed to pkcable for everything. And I have stayed with pkcable even thou I have switched between DSL & cable several times since the first change. Sticking with pkcable now. 03-22-10 10:33 PM - As I was selecting a screen name for this site, I tried several names, but they were taken. And after a while, I was getting really tired (and a little ripped), and it came to me. When I was typing it in, I knew I would get it, and rippedvanwinkle was born.
