You bastard I've been listening to this all afternoon while I'm packing up boxes. However it's great and I remember all of the good stuff and the bad stuff. It's like I've been transported back to 1999. The dude even brings up macroing, which we used to do all the time I think with EZMacro. Jesus the memories.
It was such a fun game back in the day because there was nothing like it and I never played EverQuest like a lot of you dudes because Ultima Online was my benchmark.

I fell asleep during it but the old pictures are so great for me. I knew and worked with so many of these people years later. Everyone looks so young
The pics from Atlanta E3, I was there with crack.com and we hung out with the UO people quite a bit. It was a bit surreal.

Dude did you actually work on the game? If so that's pretty awesome.I fell asleep during it but the old pictures are so great for me. I knew and worked with so many of these people years later. Everyone looks so young

Never played UO, knew of it of course. I recall something about 'Lord British' forgetting to make himself immortal and the people in the game killing him. Thought that was wild.
But I was 100% an EQ junkie. Pretty much exclusively. The sub did save me a lot of money on video games because I didn't buy many due to all the time required to play EQ.
One of the 1st 'PC' games I bought was the last top down Ultima (don't recall the #) right before the 3d one that was total garbage.

No I worked at crack, we were there for our own game Golgotha, mainly looking for publishers, but I think we had the game running at a booth someone let us use. Like a hardware vendor for headphones or something?
Origin published the previous game called Abuse so we were always very friendly with them, and they invited us along for stuff.

Oops I should explain about why I knew all those people. Really anywhere you'd work in games in Austin there was always a good percentage came from Origin. There were a few at Eclipse when I worked there and then most of Digital Anvil were ex origin and then almost all of Destination games were ex origin.
Kali there's a whole chapter on Aquaman/Rainz. I'm surprised they found his real name and such. He was in a very secretive invite-only network of pirates back in the day. I was at work so I missed that event by half an hour and had to hear about it on IRC. Two of my friends I still hang out with today were there, and one of them went on to work on EQ.
The video mixes in some pre-alpha shots and I was in a few of those.
I hope Maju eventually gets to wing/strike commander. There were some wild stories about strike commander.

I have no idea how bullshit those numbers are. I haven’t played much multiplayer besides MMOs and ARPGs since the 360 era. just lost my interest in it.

I don't doubt them at all. I almost never play FPS online, but I tried Battlefield or something once because I had it. Very first and only match I played there was obvious cheater wrecking everyone. I used to play World of Tanks. Not often to see obvious cheaters, but they are there. One guy kept hitting people who were out of render range. There's a cheat that draws a line out of every tank barrel in the match. You can see where people are even if they were hidden.Activision Admits Cheating Industry Is Worth $8.5 Billion - Geeks + Gamers

Funniest one I saw was a streamer who was using that cheat and he'd still get wrecked. Not very smart, either. He'd buy accounts and they'd get banned after a small number of matches. Every single one of them, the player rating dropped like a rock. Stupid person and bad even with an OP cheat.
