I jumped higher than anyone else I saw. I was like the loving Michael Jordan of AC.
That's dope, haha. I loved that kind of thing, too.

Also getting chased for miles and miles by Zephyr's and Shallows Sharks only to succumb to their death by a thousand cuts like 100 miles from the nearest lifestone.

Yeah, tearing through the wilderness with deadly wildlife on your rear end is definitely something I remember well. And then when I started playing on Darktide, it was a human player at the edge of your minimap closing in on you.

Man, what a crazy game. Part of my nostalgia for it is just that it was the first graphical MMO that I played, so the sense of wonder was huge and unable to be replicated in later games, but it also did some really cool stuff. That seamless world, the bits of lore tucked here and there, and the graphics that were pretty drat good for the time...

I don't think I would ever have really gone back to it, but it's still sad to see it die out.

It also set my bar for what 'too much grinding in an mmo' was, which made everything that came after it (DAOC, WoW, FF11/14, etc.) feel easy by comparison.

Man, not only was it a huge grind, but it was so easy to spend a ton of time grinding to end up with a totally ineffectual character, because who knows what the gently caress all these skills do.

PC Gamer compiled a few farewells from sad people, it's pretty good.
