What MxO was..

[Vesuveus]

MxO was so exciting. I had moved back to grad school and signed up for a newsletter regarding beta and launch. I never got an email, so around November of 2004 I started running searches and learned that beta had already started without me! I pre-ordered and jacked in around 2am for the first time. The game was so confusing to me because it was my first mmo. I stopped playing until after the new year. Then, I fell in love!

Discovering the city was the biggest thrill early on. Finding a doorway to no where, leveling up and thinking that dying was so dangerous made me feel like I was really in the Matrix.
