    Me too, i'm so fed up with how boring it's gotten that i'm this (| |) close to selling my 200+ alters, gear, and utility wizard and cancelling my accounts. Especially since there's no use in hording all those clothes when I don't even bother hanging out with anyone to show it all off, heh (even if I do hate selling my own designs).

    I remember using the auto-roller for almost a week and getting a high end roll of 682. Used that on my sorcerer.

    I also remember running into Bob down in the catacombs when he was a youngster.

    Wow, I'm suppose to remember these things eh...

    Let's see, well, first off, GS wasn't my first simu game, Cyberstrike was...wheeee, what fun THAT was back in the day. Played both for free on AOL, so we're looking at 14 - 15 years ago? Gees...I guess I am addicted.

    Was with my ex at the time, he played CS and then moved to GS, and I follwed along after I got over the 'text? thats stupid'. heh.

    My now RL husband was on my ex's CS team (go GOM!), and he started at about the same time as we did.

    Someone please explain. How can this game be so infuriating and frustrating and still be so damn addicting?

    Good question and one I ask myself regularly.
    Rohese's GS Wiki page

    You arrange yourself on the throne.

    You attend to your gold wirework circlet, carefully smoothing the hair underneath, and adopt a regal air as you survey the area.

    You think to yourself, "I got this"

    Yes it was, when gs4 came out did ppls stats get lowered to fit the new 660 cap or something like that? Is there a site / sheet that will show me what my stats would be at 0?

    I miss all the people that GS used to have in the world during the day, 1300+ would rock. Now the amulet is empty compared to then. Nothing scrolls, I don't have to have my thought window my whole screen when I watch the "merchant" channel. People sitting at the AI, Mine Road, Court Yard, Thraks room, the nook in the Inn, upstairs in North Gate East and West tower. .


    Ah the good ol' days, will never have them back.

    Sorlentak was one of the first friends I made in GS. I think last I heard he was playing Nopus.. is he still around?
