My first MMO was Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR).
It wasn't a perfect game. Pleanty of bugs, but it had probably the best PvP of any game at the time. I played a Goblin shaman named Buzznutz. He was a healer build, and I have never felt more effective as a healer as I did playing that game. I was keeping our tanks up, and the shield walls strong.

A year later, the server I started on, Phoenix Throne, was no more. It was a victim of declining server population, and was shut down. It was a sad day, and the first time I ever experienced that grief of losing an online community.

There are some deaths I never really got over:

1) My grandparents
2) Joe Strummer
3) The death of Phoenix Throne

These days I'm full bore into the Elder Scrolls Online. I have found a wonderful guild, and don't see myself leaving this game any time soon. But nothing beats those days when I would get home from work, log in to WAR, and and jump into the WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHH!!!!!

Yes, there is the fan-maintained
Return of Reckoning, but it doesn't have the same feel. I dunno. If I can get it to work on Linux, I may just peek in to see what's going on.

But, man...those Phoenix Throne days....

Those peeps are still deluded into thinking aggressive invasions are resolved with colonial-era lines drawn on a map. The #TrumpAdministration is a cabal of morons, bootlickers and narcissists which the US voters unleashed on the world.

The world can do no better than dump US Debt Bonds, sell USD short and pour as much financial and military aid into Ukraine as it can absorb to kill the #Orcs and get the #Russian out of its territory. Then start the ICC processes to put as many Putinists into confinement for the rest of their miserable lives. That’s how you fix this. There is no other way.
