RE: Worst/Best time in MxO
I was pretty much happy anytime I was jacked in. Whether being in a big social situation like a large Live Event, a smaller social situation like chillin or PvPin in Mara or even doing mindless solo stuff like running Archive missions or farming (in those cases I was quite content too because I could just listen to killer music, have a good movie on in the background or listen to a radio show or some type of spoken word audio program to keep my mind engaged). Having a couple beers after work, being jacked in on a Friday or Saturday night with the tunes going as a prelude before going out. On a lazy Sunday. Anytime. I mean quite literally it was All. Good.
The worst was in late October of 2008 when Rare decided he was going to discontinue Live Events and critical missions in favor of a static grindem quest system. I knew at the time that this would be the Beginning of the End. From that point on, then when he quit, when no one replaced him, when we got a complete Wall of Silence from SOE and finally the announcement that the game was ending, it was like watching a car crash in super slow motion drawn out over months, and being helpless to do anything about it. My only regret is that I didn't have enough time to do all the things I wanted to do, especially after finding Bay's patch & mods and diving into that. I could have used about one more week, haha, but then again the hard wall of August 1st was as good a time as any, I suppose.
