I first discovered the game in late Commercial Open Trial whenever that was , it's been so long, 2002? but didn't start really playing seriously until sometime in Gold.
I first created an ava, I think early 2003. But Project Entropia was sooo crappy and I coudn't find anything to do that I uninstalled it after half an hour or so. (I wish I kept going a little more at that time. )
After Leeloo Leeloo Mountain hit the news with her Mining ATH I remembered that 'crappy' game and descided to give it another try, created DRDoom and I'm still here.
'DRDoom': May 2005
I convinced my girlfriend 'Nexia' one month later: June 2005
Hmm.. when did I join PE.. wow.. seems like an eternity ago, only thing I remember is that it was on the first week of open beta.. been more or less a casual player and letting PE go every now and then.. But when was open beta? iirc I set foot on calypso somewhere around may/june/july 2002? ahh.. those were the days when twin peaks was "the end of the world".....
sadly, i only joined in 2009. but, i only heard about the game about 4 hours before i downloaded it, started playing it, and LOVED it. still downloading VU10. I'm not old enough to vote (both here and in trl) hehehe.
