What year did you first play Gemstone and what brought you to the game?
I first started playing around 1995, on AOL.
My friend (known as Kyrandos in GS and on these forums) had been playing for a while and finally told me about it... I was bored enough one night that I said, "Sure, what the hell" and gave it a try.
First thing I did? Attacked the stupid mutt in Wehnimer... heh.
Anyway, we ran around causing havoc and getting into fights right from the get go... I guess not a lot has changed...
I've quit a ton of times since then but always come back... though after 13 years I'm still only level 40.
