> About 6 years ago I worked in a government building, stuck in a data-processing room with 200 or so other lost souls. Two college guys who sat in front of me kept talking about the cool game they were hooked on that was CF, and after about 2 weeks of listening, I felt ready to butt in and find out how I could get hooked up. CF isn't 6 years old yet > Well, one week later I had gotten one of my first chars (an assassin) into Shadow, gotten a tattoo, and ranked to 45th, totally surpassing anything they had achieved. A few weeks later, they lost got busted cheating and lost interest in mudding, leaving me all alone. Cabals didn't exist for nearly 6 months after CF opened. And it was months after that that someone got above 35th level. Oh, and there were no assassins back then (nitpicking, I know)
> A horrible pfile corruption kept me from playing for about 3 weeks, but thanks to Morgath's presense, I was back on track, becoming one of the first round of heroimms (back then, just becoming level 51 meant you were immortal). My existance as a hero was short-lived, but I'm still hooked to this day.
