I was a developer and producer on these projects and was curious how many of you played those MMOs when they were out. I'd love to hear some stories :)

I played Warhammer Online, have the massive Collectors Edition box at home still. So does my bro. Awesome game, was gutted what happened. :(I was a developer and producer on these projects and was curious how many of you played those MMOs when they were out. I'd love to hear some stories :)

I was a design lead and environment lead. I designed and built expansion dungeons and I also re-did a lot of the starter towns environments :)Dark Age of Camelot was huge here in France before WoW arrived and ate its lunch.
DAoC was the first and last subscription-based MMO I played. Nothing enticed me quite like it before or after, except maybe The 4th Coming before it despite the jankiness (and because it was my first MMO, really).
I still remember playing the open beta on Hibernia/Ys as an Elf Mage, first spawning in Mag Mell, having no idea what I was doing, lagging like crazy because of my fairly average PC and the hundreds of people starting at the same time on day one like me. Having no idea how to fight, dying immediately against my first skeleton... It was amazing lol. Playing your first massively online 3D game, at a time when they were still fairly new besides Everquest, was like a window into the future. And the game looked so good to me haha.
Played for about a year and a half, mostly as a Void Eldritch, because I liked wizard classes that focused on big explosions and DPS. Too bad the class was so bad all things considered, and pretty much useless in RvR. I stopped a shortly after the release of Shrouded Isles. A few years ago I went to an unofficial classic server on a nostalgia trip. I even ran across an old friend from my server, which is kind of an amazing coincidence!
Speaking of RvR, that shit was incredible. Such tension, such adrenaline. The RvR dungeon, Darkness Falls, was quite an experience too, because you had the threat of other players wrecking your shit on top of the very powerful AI enemies. The memories...
Tripwire-Stone thank you for your contribution on this great game. What were you in charge of?
Also, anyone from Hibernia/Ys here?
Yep I played both. But mainly played Dark Age of Camelot. We played all 3 realms in DAOC as The Zoo. Hibernia on Lancelot. Midgard on Pellinor and I forget which Albion server. One of the most craziest fights is when we were as Midgard and we completely annihilated and prevented the Hibs from retaking a fort/keep. The death kill count spam totaled over 80+ players. It was only a group of 8 of us vs so many. Savages were such an absurdly broken class. Have some old school fights recorded. My apologies in advance on the quality of these video as they were recorded on VCR tapes back in the day.I was a developer and producer on these projects and was curious how many of you played those MMOs when they were out.

I appreciate the kind words and I know all of the other DEVs would as well. I'm glad we were able to put smiles on faces :)Thanks a lot for your work on these games, two of my personal favourite MMOs. DaoC and Warhammer were fantastic MMOs. Warhammer especially, holds a special spot in my heart for the classes, settings and castle sieges.
