Inspired by the original thread, how do the numbers stack today?

I've played Anarias from the first day of open beta.

Created Ekard few hours after open beta has been opened.

Open beta for me too, if I remember correctly, with Laneth.

Created Soll the day Lusternia went open beta, more by chance than careful planning!

Created Verithrax shortly after the Kethuru event.

Day 2. As you know.

Closed Beta, Same Character, but obviously got reset at the start of Open. Was the 4th person to create a character during Open.

Since beta, still chuggin on Diam (though he sure has changed over the years, If you met him today you wouldn't think he's the same frightened tae'dae serenguard he began as)

Made Shorlen sometime between the Tainted Fae Event and the Kethuru Event.

Made Shamarah day one of open beta.

I started on Ytraelux, ooh, 8-9 months ago, and then decided he was a completetely dead case and moved on to my 3 alts, one of which is starting to get stagnant... But I don't wanna kill him!

Started in closed beta...but only recently started playing again a little.

Since open. Meant to be a test character, check things out, turned into my main IRE char.

Played since day one of open beta. As for characters... well...

I started in Open Beta as Gemminia in the Hartstone, no one was able to help me but Narid, Serenguard, so I just gave up. That was in November. Little while later, I was bored and looked again. Thats when I started Diamondais, whom you all got to know, just after the Tainted Fae event (The Portals and Portal of Fate were still tainted for awhile when I came in, and it was just like a day or two after manses came out!). After leaving because the game, and some of its people, were stressing me out I came back to start anew as Dylara, which was good cause I hardly remembered anything.

Um...I started my first character sometime in 2005, early year I think...She was a hartstone novice, my friend had a moondancer. I killed her cuz I didn't do anything with her since no one helped me except for Astrasia. She was so nice to me. After I graduated I had no idea what to do. And then I stopped playing and then created Sarvasti I think as a BT and then killed her and then brought Ksil about.

--Danke, Shiri.

Two weeks after the game opened...was that closed beta? I don't remember

You would remember if you had been in the closed BETA, it wasn't open to the public...

Oh, and I just remembered when you joined, so yep, open BETA.

(And I think you mean Astrasia Sarvasti?)

Since all characters were wiped after closed beta, I hope the people answering the first question are gods!

As best I can tell, I happened to stumble on Lusternia the day after open beta closed.

I was still royally ticked at IRE because of events on Achaea, but needed a new MUD and saw that the cartel system addressed the shortcomings that had driven me away from Achaea. (No more design theft!)

Made Exarius to dabble, and he's become my favorite and most enduring MUD character ever.
