Default MMO With Sentimental Value

Do you have a MMO that gives you a fuzzy feeling every time you play it? A MMO that brings back fond memories of your childhood? If so, this is the perfect thread to share your feelings and why. I'll start off by telling you why NWN 1 is so important to me. I've got this idea when I started thinking about my step-father that passed away last year.

Okay, when I was around the age of 10 or 11, my Mother, My Step-Dad, My brother, and I moved into an apartment. It was during the summer, and I was pretty bored. He had a computer, and I pretty much had no idea what it was, so I decided to check it out. He was playing a game call Never Winter Nights. I was really interested in playing it. My mom approved so he taught me all about it. At first, it was really complicated.

For a 10 year old boy, this was really confusing at first, but then i started to like it. Everyday when he went to work I would go on the single-player campaign and get farther and farther. Soon enough, I almost knew as much about the game as he did. Then one day, the word multiplayer had caught my eye. I made the decision of trying it out. At first I didn't get it at all. It really made no sense to me. After a bit of lurking around, I found out that each server was it's own individual world. I had a lot of fun, it was really entertaining. Soon enough, I knew more about the game then he did.

I played this game for about 2 and a half years. I almost never got bored of it, all the customization made nothing the same. I've tried it all, the normal servers, to the team and PVP servers, all the way to the "Uber" type servers. I was pretty much a master at this game. No one would believe that i was a mere 12 year old. Then, my real father got a computer, this was a big opportunity for me. I would have access to the computer anywhere. My hope was to finally play against, or in co-op with my step-dad. It would have been so much fun to play with him, I desired it so much, but I never expected him to pass away. If I knew this would have happened, I would have tried to play with him sooner. I really regret not ever playing with him, I miss him so much. He was the only person I knew that liked computer games as much as I do.

So, that pretty much wraps up my story. If you have any stories, feel free to post them. It would be much appreciated if you did.

~Thanks!
