Questioner Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Real life friends showed me the world of the forsaken lands as well. Unfortunately i got hooked as I have always had a fancy for roleplaying games. Oh well, at least this one is sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorCleric Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I came over from AR when FL started. I found AR because AG was playing it one day. WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-D&Der Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Found it through Yahoo. Was the first D&D style game on an alphabetical list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackwilly21 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 TDP brought me over from AR. He also introduced me to AR in 1998, I've been playing FL since sometime in Beta, and have stayed here ever since. I've introduced alot of people too...

Dale Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 MeleeCrazy introduced me. I remember I used to skip school over at his house and he would play. First time I looked at the mud he was training on scarecrows and I thought it was the wackest thing ever. Then I started playing... game over.

Ghrialton Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 The first two computer games I ever played were text-based. Hitchhikers Guide and Leather Goddesses of Phobos. The 'rules monger' in my RPG first tried to get me on one of those WhiteWolf muds, Atlanta By Night or some such. I didn't care for it. Whilst working on one of my text-based game projects, I had the idea that a multiplayer text game would be pretty neat. Too bad somebody already thought of it. I even forgot my first initial experience with MUDs. I did play at Threshold for awhile, but got a little bored with it, and the fact that you can't advance well unless you shell out $$. I was introduced to FL by a co-worker while I was working at Steak 'n Shake. He was totally into FL, and I believe he was around when FL was born. I can't remember any of his characters' names, though. We lost touch when he joined the army. KH, if you're reading this, send me a PM. Since I found FL, I've tried out some other MUDs, mostly ones based on a specific area of interest. WhiteWolf, Wheel of Time, etc. None have compare to FL.

Pali Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Started out playing a crappy mud called Primula that some friends introduced me to, but still had fun at it. Later, same friends found AR, then switched to FL, and pulled me over to FL. Very glad they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiere Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I was hardcore AR for a long time, then in the last year or so got super cheesed off at them for "equalizing" the game. Namely, gimping everybody equally. Had played FL a bit before, came here, liking it immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balinor Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Started out listening to a friend talk about Eternal City, back when it was free. Then went to As the Wheel Weaves, before it changed ownership a few times. Got banned for being a teenager, before I was a teenager (thought that because everyone there was an adult, and they yelled at me when I did something wrong, that I should rebel against authority). Came to FL with a few friends, in early-mid 1.0, and one of them got banned by the Description Nazi. The rest continued on and I got better than them, so they fell away (I tend to get better at games than them, after which they give up). Picked up and decided to go back to Runescape with them, since there was really no "better or worse" in Runescape. Went to Runescape for a while, which was entertaining in a tedious sort of way. Became a member there, and then they introduced 3D, which pissed me off, so I left. Arbitrarily decided to come back one day and try it out, found some of my old descs, improved on them, and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarduarkar Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 One word... CAMS. A high school with a group of people who played AR on the same network. They got me started there, and I was the bottom of their pk foodchain. But I got hooked, switched over to FL during beta, and ended up staying.

Umbra Panthera Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 A friend told me about it, don't think he plays any more, he learned from his cousin.

Mister E Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I played a WoT based mud for about 5 years, It was my second mud but I was really a fixture there. I had mortal leaders in every guild and eventually an imm, then the mud shutdown and I stopped mudding for about 3 years. One day I was eally bored so I thought hey I havent done this in a long time so i did a google search. I tried a couple muds but they sucked arse and then I stumbled into FL. I really loved the idea of enforced RP and it had Ninjas! Anyway, i've been hooked ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarduarkar Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Who the hell are you? My bro and his friends started playing AR in Duncan's classroom. I graduated 2001. Most of the people who played AR was a year or two older than me (class of 1999 or 2000). We would play AR/FL inbetween unreal tournament/quake/starcraft lan games. There were also a younger group of people who joined too. Steve, ben, etc. No idea what happened to everyone. Duncan was a cool teacher... hehe we played during his class too .

Grim_Reefer Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I used to hate rp muds... I loved RP, but all the muds sucked goat genitalia. So anyways, I was all about godwars and pk and l337 skillz and what not. I stumbled upon this via MudConnector and was like.. WHOA! RP AND PK... and it didn't suck... immediately became hooked.
