I find the concept of a Matrix MMO oddly ironic.
Ever been a part of one that didn't?
I caught up with LessWrong just as it was going MoreWrong.
Cloudchaser and Final Fantasy XI, more recently.
Hate to see people slowly leave from a community.
Well, I hate to go there, but...the Mega Man community.
At one time, I was a part of several online forums. I enjoyed talking to the likes of Mandi Paugh (of MMHP.net fame), LBD Nytetran and so many others, especially in early 00's. I even helped with a few fan games and such here and there.
But especially after the brand hasn't had much to show for in the last few years, a lot of my old haunts (especially for those dedicated to EXE and X) have since shuttered, or the forums still exist but nowhere near the thriving hubs they once were.
Considering even the likes of Bob and George were hallmarks of my life during middle and high school, it's just been sad to see what's happened since.
I really miss City of Heroes.
My first ever MMO and still my favourite.
Mostly the same story here. PCGB/PCGB and the Gamecube Lobby were my jam. Bad Cartridge was a fun experiment but really didn't have much activity.I use to live on the IGN boards back in their heyday. The mid/N64 days, through GameCube/PS2/Xbox days, and toward the launch of the 360.
I probably have 10,000 immature posts on "Teh Vesti."
I eventually moved over to Bad Cartridge, which became Day One Patch; but it just didn't move too quick and it was the same 50 people posting all the time, it felt like.
And then I came to GAF
Twice on the first page, hah. I was there for a bit after the IGN boards purge but ended up jumping ship over to here not long after. My posting habits have slowed considerably over the years and I've become more of a lurker, and this being a more active site has held my attention better.badcartridge / dayonepatch
Cloudchaser. The main site dying and then a failed main site taking over pretty much killed it, but the sheer lack of moderation to reign in the worst of it certainly played a part. When most news threads simply linked to GAF news threads, it was clearly done.
Oh hi.
