Dane<p><span>My first MMO was Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR).<br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>There are some deaths I never really got over:<br><br>1) My grandparents<br>2) Joe Strummer<br>3) The death of Phoenix Throne<br><br>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!!!!!<br><br>Yes, there is the fan-maintained </span><a href="https://www.returnofreckoning.com/index.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Return of Reckoning</a><span>, 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. <br><br>But, man...those Phoenix Throne days....</span>🥲<span><br><br></span><a href="https://youtu.be/i07CVuCKHB0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/i07CVuCKHB0</a><span><br><br></span><a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/mmo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mmo</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/mmorpgs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mmorpgs</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/pcgaming" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcgaming</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/warhammeronline" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#warhammeronline</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/waaaaaagh" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#waaaaaagh</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/warhammerfantasy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#warhammerfantasy</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/greenskins" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#greenskins</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/orcs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#orcs</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/goblins" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#goblins</a></p>
