I've been playing this game since 2002 when Realms of the Elf-lords came out.
I can't believe it has been 14 years. I tend to go through periods of time when I get into the game and then I will give it a break for several months. This pattern has been going on for many years. It says a lot about a game when you can still find people playing it (mostly online) for this amount of time.
