No you haven't. If you claim to have played Gemstone on only AOL, the longest you could possibly have been playing for is since Fall 1995 (8 years). If you were playing before 1995, you could not have used AOL, have lived in Kulthea, and not Elanthia, and you would be considered an "ICE *iron crown enterprises* Ager".
Final note, if you started playing Gemstone on AOL, you have NOT BEEN PLAYING FOR MORE THAN 8 YEARS.
Thank you.
