I got into the 15th or so place (can't remember exactly, it was the upper teens) on Myth II ranked back in the day, that's about the highest outside of local arcade rankings for some games I played in the arcade.
One of my luckiest feats was that I was the first person to make an Iksar (on Fennin Ro) from the first EQ expansion, the Ruins of Kunark, back in the day, as soon as I got in game I got a huge amount of people messaging me and congratulating me and everything as soon as I spawned into the game.
Then I watched as a ton of people completely leveled up way past me because I was in no way a hardcore player lol.
