I might not have much of anything to type about in my blog enough to impress you, but I can just type about MMORPGs in general.
Growing up, games like final fantasy x and other square soft games were intriguing as console RPGs, but on the afternoon school bus in 6th grade there were some older students I overheard talking about RuneScape. Other students played it too. Since it was a flash game, one day I visited the website and started playing but I didn't get very far. However I remember a few things, something like a furnace, starting campfires, collecting materials, pickpocketing, and shooting arrows was about as far as I got....
Later though, I seriously loved sneaking downstairs at night to play the WoW trial version with a plate full of nachos covered with melted shredded cheese.
Maybe it was the summer after sixth grade that I ditched WoW for the more free and 2D side scrolling Maplestory, which I played addictingly for many years as a teenager, skipping school even.
There were many clones of both WoW and Maplestory that I remember trying out, one that no longer is playable was called WonderKing.. I don't remember the name of the WoW clone, but it took a lot longer to download from version 1 patch by patch and required more computer power too.
Another one that was very nice, like WoW but with more "point and click" controls was Tera Online, but was also cancelled sometime.
Another thing that sucks is that I was stuck with home computers that were the ones before my folks' got a new one, while many of my friends had custom gaming desktop that they assembled themselves with parts from sites like Newegg....
During much of my twenties I only had a phone, no pc, and played Toram Online often at times...
Last year on a gaming desktop I no longer have, I really got into Final Fantasy XIV too ....
