Glad to be here.
We started our MMO journey in 2003 when we bought, our then 12 year old son, FFXI for Christmas. On Christmas day we installed FFXI on his machine and watched him play for like 3-4 hours. We liked it so much we went out and bought 3 more copies within the next day or so, we were now hooked!
We played FFXI for just over 6 years and in fact my son met his now wife on FFXI.
This is when I first got involved with coding, while writing bots and memory readers for FFXI. My son even began to help making the tools and because of it today is working as a QA/Junior Dev.
I was in a linkshell with the person that created the FFXI server emulator "Darkstar Project" and in fact worked on the project for about 6 months with him.
We moved on to play several other MMOs over the years.
Lineage 2 Hellbound
PSU (Phantasy Star Unlimited)
Lineage 2 Gracia
Aion
Terra
ARK Unlimited
FFXIV
Lineage 2 Hi5 (L2JServer)
Can we see a pattern here.... we seem to come back to L2 over and over .... LOL
Mostly it is my wife, my son and myself playing these,
So if you ever see us around say hello
Raylea - my wife
Randfal - my son
Lisander - me
