I bought this the day it came out, and played 16 hours a day on the Darktide PvP server. This game was the only MMO ever where you actually felt like a god. I would run into a town and slaughter everyone in it, loot their most valuable stuff, run to a dungeon and do the same thing, run into the next town, etc. People would see me coming and literally bow down and swear their fealty to me so I wouldn't kill them, and then I would get a percentage of any experience they earned, making me even more powerful. Then if someone bothered them they would message me, and I would come running in and lifestone spawnkill camp their harasser into oblivion. The only person on the server a higher level than me was my best friend, so there was absolutely nothing to be afraid of, it was the ultimate power trip. Unfortunately I was obsessed with the game and had to sell my account *for a nice figure* before my life fell apart outside of the game, but I still remember the days fondly.
Other than Ultima Online, there has been no greater MMO. MMO's today are nothing compared to what they used to be.
