I started playing almost 20 years ago - in the beginning. I did quit a couple times when my character was hacked but I came back.
It's been funny watching the evolution of the game and it's makers over the years. Now the staff actually care what the players think and want!
Although I have raised 2 kids and have grandchildren now, I have always had time to play. within reason. I may not be on the high scores but I plod along. As long as RS is around, I will play until the end.
